Eardrum

WHAT THE AMERICAN FLAG MEANS TO ME Have you ever thought what the flag means to you? Well while you’re reading this you’ll find out what the flag means to me. The flag to me means your friends, family, and your community. When I gaze at the flag I think of my friends and family that have lost someone since the war. When I actually think about the flag I can see all my friends and family that had someone in the war. And that’s just a part of it. You can’t just talk about your friends and…

acute otitis media (AOM) or otitis media with effusion (OME). These infections are “caused by bacteria and often begin after a child has a sore throat, cold, or other upper respiratory infection…Because of the infection, fluid builds up behind the eardrum” (Ear Infections in Children, 2014). “Fluid may build up in the middle ear for several reasons.… Sometimes the fluid becomes infected, leading to AOM. After an episode of AOM has been treated with antibiotics or has resolved on its own, fluid…

THE man raced down the deserted streets of Marblewick, legs darting straight ahead, lungs heaving up and down like roller coaster. No one can save him from the mistakes he made, who would anyone in middle of rainy night? Goro acknowledges that, escaping them is inevitable but he's not going to die without a fight. His hearing heightened as he recognized the sound of footfalls - he knows those casual strides anywhere. The damn psycho is probably grinning from ear to ear, taunting him in that…

dead hands, causing my fingertips to bud like pink tulips in the Spring. Licking my sharp teeth, the stinging sensation of spearmint waltzes on my tastebuds. My index finger pushes pressure on a small, smooth piano key, and a waterfall caves into my eardrums, obliviating my sleep deprived thoughts. The sizzling and popping of the green leaves mending themselves with the white and yellow ooze on the scorching hot stove, sending a fragrant aroma of fresh Gouda through the air. My long ,naked…

The sounds, the smell, the sights, and the eerie and melancholy, but somehow always beautiful sound of jazz music assaulted the man's eardrums, as usual, as the dusk began to darkness, and the final rays of the sun lit up the sky in an incandescent, orange glow, which perfectly match the scene. New Orleans was a city, Michael O'Loughlin was still to become accustom to, and that showed in the way his bright green eyes shifted from side to side, his attention caught by the bright dolls and…

“Isla” by Virgil Suarez is a powerful image of migration through the eyes of a young boy. Suarez uses this narrative, free-verse poem as a personal experience of his migration from Cuba. His reference to Godzilla helps the reader connect with his experience (Kirszner & Mandell, 2012). In the poem, Suarez begins by using allusions to make the poem more relevant to the reader. He references several children television programs putting the reader in a young mindset. The speaker is aware at an…

are and where to shoot at. If that person is deaf then they can’t hear their commander, and can’t hear the shooting behind them. They could become blind if their shot a way to make them blind. They could also become deaf if the sound bursts their eardrums. That's the final reason why mandatory military service is cruel. Mandatory military service means that once you hit a certain age you start training for the military and serve for your country if you like it or not. Mandatory military…

nervous system transmits that sound to the brain. Conductive The outer ear gathers sound waves from the environment and funnels them into the ear canal. At the end of the canal, the waves hit the eardrum, causing it to vibrate. Three tiny bones in the middle ear conduct the vibrations from the eardrum to the cochlea (a spiral-shaped chamber that looks a bit like a snail) in the inner ear. If anything interferes with the transfer of sound waves up to this point, the resulting type of hearing…

a fingerprint, the size and shape of each person’s ear canal are unique. Consequently, an audiologist needs to account for these differences. An REM procedure allows audiologists to use a tiny microphone to measure the hearing aid volume at your eardrum to adjust the hearing aids to make them more clear and comfortable. It takes extra time, but is worth it. REMs assure you that the hearing aids are delivering maximum benefits. • What kind of warranty do you offer? Some national chains offer…

infections, protecting the overall ear. After the sound waves travel through the outer ear and into the ear canal, the middle ear transforms those waves into vibrations. It can do this because of the eardrum, which is a tight flap of skin that vibrates when it is hit by sound, just like a drum. The eardrum is the part of the ear that separates the outer ear from the inner ear and contains the ossicles, which are the three smallest most fragile bones in a person’s body.…
