[Quiet Voiceprint Identification Expert × Host of Broken Sense Podcast]
An authenticity appraisal of an old case recording from five years ago brought two people with completely opposite ways of dealing with the world together.
Song Huaisheng's world is measurable - fundamental frequency, resonance, speaking speed, pauses. Voiceprint data is her only belief. Her mother is a liar, but she chose to use her mother's talent to expose the lie. She has not taken off the monitoring headphones for thirty years.
Jiang Yinchao's world is getting quieter - he is completely deaf in his left ear, and his hearing in his right ear continues to decline. The doctor said that he will be deaf in both ears within five years. She disguises her disability with professionalism, her fear with gentleness, and her smile never reaches the bottom of her eyes.
The appraiser and the appraised, the liar and the liar.
The closer she gets, the more terrified she becomes: What if she hears it?
The more she pays attention, the more silent she becomes: she chooses not to reveal it, but she doesn't know if this counts as belief.
The ambiguity at the sound level is something that cannot be achieved with other themes——
The palm of the bone conduction is pressed against the back of the neck, the same breath is shared through the earphones, and the voiceprint is pressed against the auricle to say "can you hear me?"
This is not a story about inability to hear.
This is a story about choosing to believe.
Intent: True trust is not the certainty after verification, but the choice to believe even after giving up verification - between silence and lies, people will eventually learn to let go of their obsessions and embrace the truth.
