Hi all, it's the newcomer again.
I'm pretty sure you have already debated Pam's case enough, but I'm pretty new to all of this. A big deal of her NDE is that she heard conversation and music, but never spoke about the noise in her ears.
Gerry Woerlee, a staunch skeptic/materialst and anesthesiologist, claimed her case was anesthesia awareness and that she filtered out the noises produced by the earbuds reflexively, being herself a trained musician. He compared doing this to filtering background noise on street or on a bus, and provided instructions to do the test at home. My results:

- You can definetly hear conversation happening close to you. I was wearing hearbuds, and had some conversation going on on my phone from a YT video, I could understand nearly everything
- The noise was bad enough in the first 10 seconds, but after 30 or so seconds it became nearly impossible to tolerate. The clicks, although not terribly powerful, are still loud enough to become a horrible sensation after a while.
- I couldn't just "not register" the clicks. I focused on the conversation, but noise was loud enough that I couldn't just not realize that it was there, or not recall it all.
