            Abstract

            From a personal exploration of listening, the author seeks to understand, from cybernetic theoretical concepts, the impact of technology on the perception of reality through sound from her disability condition. Suffering from single side deafness or, in other terms, having lost the eighty percent of her hearing in the left ear, the author struggles to understand her position in the world from her work as a sound designer for cinema and the social and political impact of sound, which situates us as inhabitants of spaces, coexisting with other beings and with machines in a modern society that embraces technology as a mechanism to potentiate our human performance.

            This document seeks to highlight practices such as discrimination and gender differentiation as meaningless and absurd practices. We are becoming cyborgs: beings without categories, non-binary and without specificities but with capabilities. This analysis based on personal experience brings some hypotheses about what the process of becoming a cyborg organism will be: new forms of cybernetic organisms, new ways of perceiving the world, networking, and interacting in it through science .
