Mysterious. As a Laurel-seeker, you want the bass boosted as much as possible and the treble attenuated as much as possible. Try the frequency-shifted versions:

Start with the version up 20%. If that doesn't work, go up to 30% and then 40%. (I advocate that order, because we want to know the minimum shifting required by your ears.)
For Yanny-seekers, go in the opposite direction.

| Of course, those who want an extra challenge should try to swim against the tide e.g. try to hear Yanny in the frequency-shifted-up versions. |

I hear Yanny on the clip the OP provided but when I heard it for the first couple of times on a television show I heard both.
Not sure if what you hear has anything to do with whether the sound is produced through both speakers or just the left or right.

Every time I've heard it, it was laurel. Clear as a bell.
People who hear something else should see an audiologist.

| Come on, Stui, listen to the version linked above frequency-shifted 30% down, and try not to hear Yanny. You will surely fail. |

I did at my pre- employment medical in January. Perfect hearing for my age and I hear (mostly) YaMMy. Heard it clearly as laurel on the ellen show clip.

OK, I did that.
Interesting on the Down 20 and 30 I finally heard Yammy. The rest are still Laurel. As they're supposed to be. https://www.wired.com/story/yanny-and-laurel-true-history/

I am slowly driving my wife insane.
We have recently planted some trees called Portuguese Laurels, so every now and again I will talk about them and say Portuguese Yannies. When she mentions them I tell her off for calling them Portuguese Yannies instead of Portuguese Laurels, Ha ha
