    To adjust or modify something so that it works for someone's particular needs; for example, providing wheelchair ramps or sign language interpreters.
    Explanatory burden(the philosophical problem being discussed)

    Identity View(Philosophy of perception / metaphysics of sound)
    The position that sound is identical with its event source, i.e., sound is metaphysically reduced to the source event.
    Perceptual data(as used in epistemology (study of knowledge))
    The raw information your senses collect about the world—what you actually see, hear, feel, or experience in a given moment.
