Eardrum

Phonautograph, an instrument primarily used to study acoustics in laboratory research. The construction of the phonograph was heavily inspired by the anatomy of the human ear. Consisting of three main components that replicated the build of the ear canal, eardrum, and ossicles. Sound waves would be transcribed by a very lightweight bristle attached to a thin membrane (the ossicles) that moves in accordance with the sound waves around it. The movements of the needle are then etched onto a…

American Sign Language (ASL) is made up of complex hand signals most commonly used to communicate with the deaf or hard of hearing. Unlike all other languages, ASL does not use or need neither speech nor hearing. Therefor, it is the most effective way to communicate with the deaf. Everything is made up of elements. Even the smallest bones in the human body, which are located in the ear and are vital for your ability to hear. People have been evolving form the beginning of time. Humans were…

As sound waves enter the ear, they travel through the outer ear, the external auditory canal, and strike the eardrum (tympanic membrane) causing it to vibrate. The central part of the eardrum is connected to a small bone of the middle ear called the malleus (hammer). As the malleus vibrates, it transmits the sound vibrations to the other two small bones (incus, stapes) or ossicles of the middle ear…

It was a normal cloudy day in Land, Arkansas and Joseph Barnes was waking up just like any ordinary day. He got ready and left for school, all tired and cranky. Sitting throughout many classes, Joseph wishing for this day to be over. But something came across in the middle of day. Joseph was called to the office and saw a man that he had never seen before. As a matter of fact, it was his biological father and Joseph had not known he was adopted. He had told Joseph that he had superpowers and he…

acoustic meatus, and the tympanic membrane. Sound enters through the auricle, which carries the sound waves to the external acoustic meatus (i.e. ear canal). The external acoustic meatus in turn carries the sound waves to the tympanic membrane (i.e. eardrum). After the sound waves have traveled through the external ear, they extent to the middle ear, which consists of three bones (i.e. malleus, incus, stapes). Sound waves then reach the inner ear from the stapes bone of the middle ear. The inner…

Symbolism Compared and Contrasted A book. A piece of bread. An accordion. Three entirely different objects, used for entirely different purposes. Yet, in context to The Book Thief written by Markus Zusak, the entities accommodate a manifold of symbolic meanings in between the pages, keys, and crumb. Hans accordion carries history of a long friendship between him and Erik Vandenburg that dates back to his experiences in World War I. Every time his eyes lay upon the magnificent instrument, or…

According to Science Buddies Staffs, “Take a Musical Step Back in Time: Make Your Own Phonograph From Everyday Items,” in the year 1877, Thomas Edison successfully built the phonograph. The phonograph, back then consisted of turning a cylinder wrapped with paraffin paper or tinfoil, a needle, and horn. The use of a phonograph was to first connect the stylus(needle) to the paper or tinfoil, then yell into the horn while spinning the diaphragm, this results in indentions in the paper, after that…
