"The modern world of earphones, telephones, or loudspeakers does some violence to the natural orienting tendency of the auditory system toward sources." According to Gibson, this is a natural consequence of the auditory system's ability to act both as a proprioceptor (our voice, our breathing etc. are heard inside the head) and as an exteroceptor (responsive to sound outside the body).
