REMAINS UNANSWERED for (me!) sandra, tvgp

I have googled..  I have read...   and none of the very scholarly or journalistic articles I have come across seem to actually ANSWER the questions..   they tell who has researched it..  who has narrowed it down..   who has carried on the research..  based on prior research

but no answers; no actual answers/clear explanations..   and in one case, they interviewed deaf people to learn their experiences..  and that's all interesting for sure, but..

we are NOT using our ears /sense of hearing when we "listen" to our thoughts..   so, being deaf, …   ?   doesn't really factor in..

so, questions remain:

1.  how do we hear our thoughts?

2.  how is the volume set?  as, at least with me, and most people I interview... we cannot whisper or yell and manipulate or alter the volume of our thoughts the way we can and do with our human voices/talking, singing, yelling, whispering, murmuring, etc.

3.  origin of the thoughts we are conscious of on any given day?

4.   when we 'hold our thoughts captive'  and evaluate them for truth or trash...   what part of our mind allows us to observe/analyze our own thoughts/inner voice?

5.   how does the toggle switch work, which might explain why we switch, randomly, suddenly, sometimes from thinking silently, to thinking out loud?   what activates that switch?

6.  when we realize we are thinking a certain thought, over and over... on some kind of default system.. and acknowledge, nip it in the bud, and proactively change what it is we are thinking about..     how do we do that?  which muscle? or synapse?
