Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written
language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.

Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain

Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through
audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio
while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using
a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Mepyramine, also known as pyrilamine, is a first generation antihistamine, targeting the H1 receptor. It rapidly permeates the brain often causing drowsiness. It also has anticholinergic properties. However, its anticholinergic potency is negligible compared to its antihistaminergic activity; it has an H1 to muscarinic Ki ratio of 130,000 to 1, compared to a ratio of 20 to 1 for diphenhydramine. It is used in over-the-counter combination products to treat the common cold and menstrual symptoms. It is also the active ingredient of the topical antihistamine creams Anthisan and Neoantergan, sold for the treatment of insect bites, stings, and nettle rash.
