Super hearing has been a common power in comic books for ages, with heroes like Superman and Daredevil using their heightened aural faculties to learn of far off crises and save civilians. Though we normal humans lack this power, there are ways to enhance this sense and hear much more than usual. Come build an easy personal listening device and then join a guided tour of the neighborhood to test out your new superhuman hearing. Generously sponsored by the National Endowment for the Arts, the Yerba Buena Community Benefit District and Kaiser Permanente.
