Before embarking on my soundwalk, I had a few basic expectations of sounds I would encounter, mostly based on prior memories of wandering MIT’s campus. I knew what the soft, low murmurs should sound like when traversing the corridors. I knew to expect the clip-clop of hard stepping walkers in the silent tunnels, and the high pitched buzzing and whining of electrical components overhead. Outside, the wind would make soft, mid pitched whuuu and shhh noises, which would serve as background for…

The 3-D printer is an incredibly efficient tool that doctors have begun using to create personalized solutions for problems that the medical field previously had no solutions for. Johnson…

Understanding the difference between hearing and listening is the key to understanding how your brain works. From my understanding, there are four modes of hearing and listening when experiencing music. These four modes are known under the term called Quatre écoute, which is French for ‘Four listening’.

When you dissect this quote, "easy on the ears..."(Line 11, Page 203), is there to compare Shakespeare to music that kids listen to as a form of closure or as a get away from troubles. "Ear…

Isaiah Stark, Period 1, Ear impairment due to loud music Slogan-Whoa, turn it down!!!

Have you ever been stabbed in the ear or stuck a Q tip too far in. Well I am going to tell you about the time my little brother stabbed a screw driver in my left ear. I almost had to have surgery but good thing my ear healed on its own, because if you have surgery on your ear it could lead to hearing lost.

variety of problems in the ear. Sensorineural hearing loss occurs when there is damage to the sensory cells in the cochlea (13). Some people get nerve deafness when nerves in the inner ear are not properly working and do not send enough signals to the brain (Royston 9). One could have inherited loss of hearing caused by mutations of genes, which affects multiple cells in the inner ear (Lerner). Others become deaf if they have problems in parts of their ear such as glue ear, when mucus is stuck…
