Ear

references. Listening This is defined as: “to give attention with the ear; attend closely for the purpose of hearing; give ear.” (Dictionary, 2016) The key part of listening is part of transferring information. It is the latter part – even if someone says a piece of information clearly, if the receiving party is not listening then the message may not get across. I believe that listening not only includes the process of the sound going in the ear, but also the process where the brain digests the…

Hearing loss in teenagers is up 30 percent from the 1980s and 1990s. While in-ear headphones were first introduced in the 1980s, they didn’t become widely popular until the early 2000s when the iPod came out. “Many experts believe it [increased percent of hearing loss] is due... to the increased use in headphones” (American Osteopathic Association). This is a plausible explanation seeing as music seems to be more available and used more often. Hearing loss due to exposure is a growing concern.…

plotted by the curve that is normal hearing in dB (HL). She then went on to tell us that audiometer is a devise that helps to tell how good your hearing really is by putting on headphones and then making sounds in different level on both sides of the ears, and you have to put your hand up if you can hear them. On the headphone there are marks with two different colors the right is red and the left is blue when you hear the sound you are to raise your hand to indicate that you can hear the…

taking the maximum number of weeks times the percentage of loss of hearing in the ear. In this case the maximum number of weeks one could receive benefits for a hearing loss is 50 weeks. Therefore one would multiply 50 by 20% in the right ear, which equals 10 and 50 X 40% in the left ear which equals 20. Then you multiply 10 and 20 by 864, and you will get $17,280.00 in the left year and $8,640.00 in the right ear. Then you add these amounts together you will get $25,920.00, which is the total…

form of energy that produces a sensation of hearing in our ears. Sound is produced by vibrating objects. The matter or substance through which sound is transmitted is called a medium. It can be solid, liquid or gas. Sound moves through the medium form the point of generation to the listener. When an object vibrates, it sets the molecules of medium around it vibrating. The molecules do not travel all the way from the vibrating object to the ear. A molecule of the medium in contact with the…

intermittent rustling of paper. These sounds are familiar in every classroom across the country and it is very easy to block out noises and concentrate on the task at hand, unless someone were to have misophonia. I was fine in this setting until my traitorous ears pinpointed my trigger noise out of the room. A person without Misophonia would have just dismissed the noise as nothing more than simple classroom sounds that cannot be prevented. I could not help but be annoyed after I isolated a…

I am against cochlear implants because it is extremely expensive and it isn’t guaranteed that it will benefit you that much. Cochlear implants are electronic devices that are implanted into the skull to make a person that extremely hard of hearing or deaf hear sounds. The implant works with a microphone, speech processor, stimulator, and electrode array. Sounds around the person are picked up by the microphone. The sounds that are picked up by the microphone are arranged in the speech processor.…

For the purpose of the assignment I wear the ear plugs in two situations the first, in my family gathering for an hour while the second, in the restaurant with my cousins for 20 minutes. My first feeling while I wore the ear plugs is the quiet which i like. After couple of minute i complained that people don't talk clearly and I often need to have things repeated to me. While the facial expression helped me understand what the person is saying. The most difficult thing for me is follow…

These hearing care professionals offer a range of services in the field of hearing loss, including hearing tests, hearing aid fittings and repair, and more. Tinnitus itself isn’t a condition but a symptom of an underlying issue. In some cases, it can be related to an injury or disorder of the circulatory system. If a specific underlying cause is identified, treating this will often stop that obnoxious ringing in your ears. Ensuring that there is no…

Sound travels through matter, which is a solid, liquid or gas. Sound travels in longitudinal waves. There is also a vibration that starts on an object, and this causes a vibration on all the molecules. When these molecules vibrate, they cause all of the other surrounding molecules to vibrate. This vibration will spread from molecule to molecule causing sound to travel. 1. What is a wave? A wave is a chain of vibrating molecules. In general, a wave transfers energy from one place to another. 2.…
