Q&A

Is it possible that a group of people can hear radio frequency (naturally)

+0
−0

In my narrative several people can hear a soft buzzing when it is very quiet. It's almost unintelligible, but discovered it is what's on the radio. The people aren't related, but they may be very distant relatives.

I'm thinking there's a trigger gene that, say, when they hit their head a certain way an eardrum could 'suddenly' receive and translate the waves. Or a genetic mutation (not likely in, about 1,000 people around the world). A bug?

Can a human naturally, in pseudo-science, or preferably real science, adapt to hearing what's on the radio? What would be required to be in the ear, and how did it get there?
