Yanny at all speeds, and regardless of phone, computer speakers, or headphones (with and without noise cancelling in effect). All I want is to hear a Laurel.
I think I killed my lows with years of pounding a subwoofer in my car like an idiot when I was in my teens.
All I hear is Laurel, so I now think I've killed off my high range through high revving motorcycles and 2 stroke dirt bikes.
I've lost Yanny and now I only hear Laurel. RIP Yanny
Go back to it a few hours later. I now only hear a Yanny/Yammy. Laurel is gone.
Edit: now she’s back for some of the recordings after playing it a bunch. I mostly get the combo Yannyaurel now. Pretty neat phenomenon to have it switch from one to the other. All my testing is for the same device.
I think knowing it’s supposed to be Laurel means my brain is searching for that sound and it takes a bit to tune it in.

I've heard Yanny most of the time. One time, I played it for others and there was a quick Laurel at the beginning, before it turned into Yanny. Guess I have young ears! :-)
So I listened to it again this afternoon on my laptop and heard Laurel distinctively... Wife hears Laurel, my 4.5 y/o hears Laurel, my 2 y/o however who loves to repeat everything she hears heard it and started saying yanni... weird.
I've listened on my laptop, on bluetooth earbud, on a pair of headphones, on my phone and on computer speakers and I've never heard anything but Laurel...

This is so strange. I can change what I hear by pressing on certain parts of my ears. I've heard it so much that at this point I can choose what I want to hear and the voice will say it, or I can make it say both at once. WTF?

Yep, you heard Yanny again at the same time as I did, and if you go to it now it's Laurel again, someone Rick Rolling everyone. It's going up and down in speed very slightly, you can tell.
All I can hear is Laurel. I listened to all the various things where they do weird magic to the clip and only hear Yanny when they specifically do something to make it Yanny.
As soon as it's back to the original clip, it's Laurel 100% of the way regardless of how many times I heard a pitch-shifted Yanny.
Considering I have the correct answer in both cases now (black and blue dress + Laurel), I'll just smugly say to my parents that my years of watching TV too loud and sitting too close have honed my senses to a superhuman level.
