The second one sounded like the mix of "bear" and "there".

That's why when babies learn new words, they focus on mouth movements. If you have kids, try and notice whenever you say a word they've never heard before, they don't bring their ears closer, but their gaze focuses on the lips. For some reason, babies have this intuition about mouth movements.

Audiologist here. This why it's so important for infants to get a lot face time with their caregivers. They learn to speak and hear by watching you too! And to some degree, this is also why we believe children cannot learn language from things like TV and other audio sources. Talk to your children! A lot! Narrate your surrounding and actions to them. Literally say ANYTHING! ❤

I heard “Vare”. This explains why I, when I was very young, thought “volleyball” was “bolleyball”.
@danielclv97
I'm not a native English speaker so maybe that's why, but I can swear I hear "there" not "fair" as well. Maybe in my non-English brain I don't hear "fair" as often as "there".
@QingyiChan
Its funny because I closed my eyes on both examples and I heard bear both of the times.

“What do you hear?” “Bear” “What do you hear NOW?” “…bear”
@steampunk_willy
Lol, I heard "vare" in the second clip and now I'm wondering how this would work with different accents.
@WalterRutledge-l9i
Awesome clip dude! Perfect dual-sense illusions, giving mind-bending Necker Cube moments. Yet notice we still need a third, tactile, channel of hands touching hands or a soft cheek on a warm shoulder. And how can you ever forget the olfactory signature his/her presence has burned into your being 😂 .
@JohnDoe-nl6nw
As a native german speaker I hear „bear“ at both clips

I honestly saw the balls bounching off each other even without the sound the first time
@johnathanh2660
"Bear" and "there" for me. I'd be intrigued what a deaf person lip reading thinks...
@Kasopia247
I tried to hear what you're saying without looking at the video you're right this is crazy thanks for sharing this
@empathy_is_only_human
This is a good illustration of how communication is not limited to a single sensory organ. And this provides a clue as to why comments such as this section, and forums where the written word alone is used. That not only can and do miscommunications happen, but we are also missing the emotional context of what is being said. As such there can be only limited, or even no emotional empathy happening between conversing parties. So toxicity can flourish since our innate affective empathy isn't triggered the same way as it would be in person.

First time: Bear Second time: Bear, There, Vere. Never fair tho.

And that's why I hate phone calls! It's so helpful to actually see people speak!

I didn't listen, I was just thinking "damn those teeth are white"
