Eardrum

My First Job I had wanted a job for years. I always loved the idea of earning money, having my own responsibilities and experiencing something entirely new and foreign to me. Income from this new ‘career’ would be liberating for me: allowing me the opportunity to build a new wardrobe that reflected my individuality (yes, really) and to do any recreational pastime that my heart desired, without any need for parental financial contribution and the scrutiny and ‘input’ that accompanied the cash.…

“Laurent Clerc: The Story of His Early Years” is a book based upon Laurent Clerc life as a deaf child and how he comes to find of others who were also deaf and learn school. In the first few chapter of the book Laurent Clerc is living at home with his family in La Balme. His mother takes him to see doctors and check him out but no one could seem to see what was wrong with him. They would perform all sorts of test on the boy, such as putting medicine in his ears. None of the doctor’s methods…

Music is a beautiful and powerful thing. Some people are more musically inclined than others, some people can even pick up an instrument and just learn how to play it on their own without any lessons. And other people can compose beautiful, innovative music once they have gone deaf as well. The last statement isn’t so common, unless you are Ludwig van Beethoven. Cursed with the start of losing his hearing at the young age of 25, and losing his hearing completely at the age of 46, he still…

It was on one Friday night in October, my parents’ anniversary, I was home alone reading all of the horrific comments over and over again that was on my Facebook timeline about me. It has been a month since my life went up in flames and took a turn for the worse, and I can honestly say I’m sick of everything and I can’t take it anymore. I decided to check my other social media accounts Twitter and Instagram to see if anything was being posted on those about me there because my notifications were…

prove the evolutionary steps behind the biological components, that would be irreducibly complex by Behe’s definition. The example Miller uses is the inner ear. An inner ear consists of five small components: the bones malleus, incus and stapes, the eardrum and the oval window. If any one of those parts were to be taken away the whole system would not work, making it irreducibly complex. However, the exact moment when that system was formed can be traced back to the evolutionary transition from…

Cracked, Crumbled and Dusty We heard the winds it was eardrum shattering again our thin windows, saw the sky turn black as the night and everything went quiet. I could see the fear in my mother's eyes, I knew and she knew that this was going to be one of the worst storms with a cloud of black dust over four hundred feet high. My mother yelled to me,” Maryanne get the wet towels and, Matthew take cover, it is coming. We knew what we were talking about, the dust bowl. All of a sudden out of…

R.H. Ettinger describes and details the topic of sensation and perception in chapter four of Psychology: The Science of Behavior. Sensation and perception go hand in hand together to form the basis of every organism 's behavior. Sensation is the direct and immediate experience that affects a sense organ whereas perception is the organization and interpretation of each sensation. The five major senses: vision, audition, gustation, olfaction, and skin senses all go through the process of…

It is the vibration of an object which is carried by air to your ear, the eardrums vibrate, sending signals to your brain to interpret sound. PITCH- The relative highness or lowness of a sound based on frequency. A fast frequency will create a high pitch while a low frequency will create a low pitch. It is determined by number…

Like and appreciate animals? Animals are used for protection, food, clothing, transportation, and many other uses. To end animal abuse everyone has to act as one and help support the Animal Liberation movement created by Peter Singer (O’Neil10). Animals should be treated like humans because of the cases and increase of abuse even though there are acts to stop it. The abuse of animals include beating, no feeding, not having any shelter or even leaving them to die once they get too old (O’Neil7).…

couldn’t do anything but think. Watching my best friend Payson her breathing was at a rapid pace. “How could I have done such a cruel thing?” I asked myself HOW? Payson’s high-pitched screams echoed through the gym. Almost shattering everyone’s eardrums they were screams of excruciating pain. Still not believe what I actually did I kept question myself. “What had overcome me?” As the ambulance took her away my heart dropped down into what felt like an empty pit of darkness. I fell to the…
