Mom can only recognize Sean Connery
Doctors have reported an unusual case of a woman who is unable to recognize the voices of her own family members ... but is able to pick out the tones of James Bond star Sir Sean Connery.
While the 60-year-old mom is not able to recall even the sound of her own daughter's voice, she can happily identify the burr of the Scottish former 007.
Researchers at University College London say she grew up with the odd Phonagnosia condition and has never been able to identify who is talking to her unless she can see them.
But bizarrely the unnamed woman discovered she was able to remember the sound of Edinburgh-born Sean Connery and recognize the sound of his voice.
Asked who is her favorite James Bond, you can guess what she said.
The experts at UCL tested the woman's ability to recognise the voices of famous actors and politicians including the voices of Margaret Thatcher, David Beckham, Joanna Lumley and Ann Widdecombe.
Sean was still the only one she could pick out.
Suddenly not being able to remember Margaret Thatcher or how David Beckham sounds in a post match interview doesn't sound too bad.
