Sound intensity

cetera). Singing begins with an exhalation of human vocal sounds (phonation) (NIDCD, 2015). At the point of phonation, two smooth adjacent muscle tissues in the thorax come into contact and vibrate to create resonating sound waves from the throat, mouth, and nose (NIDCD, 2015). As any vocal performer will confirm, singing is athletic, and to sing competently, older adults need to be physically fit to meet the challenges of creating beautiful sounds. Being physically fit means having good…

again. I dreamt of death. My mother and father’s bony skulls were glinting at me through the blackness. I replayed the same scene over and over again: the persistent screaming in the background as a dull buzzing sounded beside my ears. And then the sound of gunshots exploding in the air as raiders crowded into our room. Their skin was imprinted with skull and dagger tattoos I watched them cock a gun at my family’s wide-eyed and shivering faces. I put my fist into my mouth to cover an incoming…

Childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) CAS is a pediatric neurological speech sound disorder. This disorder impairs the precision and consistency of the movements that underlie speech. However neuromuscular deficits are absent. It may be the result of a known neurological impairment, and include complex neurobehavioral disorders with known or unknown origins. It may also occur as an idiopathic neurogenic speech sound disorder. The main impairment in planning and/or programming spatiotemporal…

the cacophony startling Booker awake with a disgruntled groan. Unimpressed by the early morning alarm clock, he angrily pulled his pillow over his head and attempted to drown out the noise. But after several minutes, the humorous fact that the sound easily penetrated through the downy feathers brought a good-natured smile to his lips, and with a resigned sigh, he threw the pillow to the floor and sat up. From across the room, Tom yawned loudly, a sleepy smile spreading across his face.…

The Sound of Life Music: Luxury or Necessity? The world has transformed to adapt to new technologies into a place where humans, the organic beings are plugged into inorganic or mechanical machines at almost any given point in the day. The recent developments of television, cellular devices, and media players makes everyone a techno-wizard in some regard. One of the categories electrical equipment can be categorized into is that of music. Music can be listened to in person at concerts or other…

Noise can cause permanent hearing loss at chronic exposure levels of at least 85 dB or higher for an eight hour period (Peter M. Rabinowitz, Pg.1). The louder the sound, the shorter the time period before NIHL can occur. Sounds of less than 75 decibels, even after long exposure, are unlikely to cause hearing loss (Hearing Health Foundation 2015). Hearing loss that is caused by the noise exposure due to recreational or non-occupational activities is termed socioacusis. Hearing loss due to…

instruments, rather than just listening to the sounds. Many of the songs that were played also sounded quite similar. I noticed that the first two songs sounded almost the same because they both were in an upbeat tempo, had a higher pitch, and sounded like bagpipes were being played. This was probably the most striking thing that I saw here. I thought that it was very interesting that there could be a variety of instruments played together that could make it sound like there were bagpipes…

ear called the cochlea, which is lined with little hair cells. Sound waves are transmitted by the external ear, through the center ear, to the internal ear. In the internal ear, the sound wave weight moves the hair cells, which then send messages to the mind, through the sensory system, about the sounds heard by the ear. High clamor levels will harm the hair cells in the inward ear and decrease the capacity of the ear to "listen" sounds and transmit the data to the cerebrum. Once the hair cells…
