Insulated Copper Wires

Improved Essays
Problem: At live events, such as concerts, noise levels are extremely high- over 100 decibels. The issue here is that regular, daily conversations are done at about 65 decibels. According to graphs shown in “Classification of Hearing Loss”, this can potentially damage people’s ears severely in the long run and result in hearing loss. It is almost impossible to sue due to the fact that people are endangering their own safety, and even if it were that easy to sue, major companies that host concerts and tours would be losing money on a regular basis.

Idea: One of the materials used in a speaker are insulated copper wires, and they are used specifically for the voice coil; the copper wires are placed around a plastic bobbin of the voice coil.

    In this particular episode of the podcast, 99% Invisible, Roman Mars explores unpleasant design, and how architecture and technology have contributed greatly to the depersonalization and sterilization of public spaces. One of the original methods of deterrence through design is sound, more aptly put, sound that is unpleasant or assaulting to the ears. The best example of this is something I myself heard about but never experienced (thankfully) throughout my adolescence. In an attempt to combat teenage loitering, numerous businesses and storefronts throughout the U.K have placed a sound box outside, known as 'The Mosquito'. This device emits a shrill and ear-piercing noise, only audible by teenagers and young adults.…

    Recent studies published in The Journal of the American Medical Association are showing that teenagers are experiencing hearing loss due to listening to loud music for extended periods of time. The journal states that since the iPod was first released, the way people listen to music has changed drastically. Virginia Heffernan then continues through her own article, “Against Headphones”, providing her readers with a history lesson on how, why, and what headphone were made for. She then goes on to discuss how headphones are taking away conversations and adding silence. Through rhetorical appeals, examples, and resources she gives, Heffernan attempts to positively let her readers know why they should also be against headphones, for the sake of the children.…

    Marsha McMillen Unit 2 Psychology Assignment My personal feelings about regulating the volume on earbuds and earphones, I think it is a good idea, I am a grandmother of two older grandsons and when they were in high school, they would listen to their walk men with the volume so high that I could hear the music across the room. I was constantly telling them to turn the volume down, but they never listen to me at all. Sometimes I think that they have some hearing loss today, because when you speak to them they act as if they do not hear you.…

    As happens with any minority, the media misrepresents Deaf people. They have been portrayed as disabled or isolated, for example, in Switched at Birth, a deaf character gets nearly hit by a car, starts a kitchen fire, and is robbed while her nearby deaf friend doesn’t help because he can’t hear her cries for help. In Bones, a teenage deaf girl is treated as a homicide suspect because she doesn’t immediately speak to the police (Foss 437-438). As a result of this representation, hearing people assume that deaf people would jump to any chance for a cure. Cochlear implants present a “cure” for the Deaf, but it is not as beneficial one would assume.…

    Misophonia is a brain disorder in which a trigger sound can send a person into extensive irritation or —in extreme cases—even rage. Symptoms typically present themselves in children from the ages of 9 to 13, but it can show both earlier and later in life. Affecting millions of people in the world, misophonia is extremely common and nearly undetectable in most cases. People who have very mild cases often times never go diagnosed; however, it does not usually have a large impact on their everyday lives. My trigger sound is loud breathing, which is common along with the sound of chewing.…

    Noise canceling technology in headphones changes the whole way someone listens to music or any other audio experience in that it doesn’t overpower external noise, it erases them. The solution to turn up the volume to drown out unwanted sounds like Aunt Petunia or the roar of the engine in an airplane doesn’t apply anymore for users with noise canceling headphones. The solution to nagging or thunderous noise is simply to switch the noise canceling button on and listen to a file of your choosing. Noise canceling technology privatizes someone’s own audio space even more than normal headphones can, and the technology comes with health benefits as well. This technology doesn’t just make someone’s life have fewer distractions, it can lower hearing…

    The benefits and consequences of headphones are widely debated and whether or not their benefits outway their consequences is a topic of controversy among many. There are those who assert that headphones are a great invention and despite their negative effect on a person’s hearing over time they are worth it.

Virginia Heffernan a journalist for the New York Times in her article titled Against Headphones agrees with the side that says headphones are not worth the negative damage that they have on people.
