Unilateral hearing loss

by saying this was a hearing person that talked about the functions of what an audiogram does. I observed a guested speaker who talked about the audiogram. She gave us information about what audiogram and what she does. An audiogram is a graph that shows the audible threshold for standardized frequencies as measured by an audiometer which as a Y and X axis. The Y axis represents intensity measured by decibels and the X represents the frequency by hertz. The threshold of hearing is plotted by the…

2010). Infants start to develop taste, smell, touch, sight, and hearing all while still developing in the womb. Some senses are not fully developed upon birth but will continue to develop in to fully matured human nature sense by 12 months of age. Infants begin to develop hearing in the second trimester; by the time they are born they are able to identify familiar sounds and their parents voice. As long as there is no hearing impairments…

Pop filters When recording vocalists, you will most definitely need to place a pop filter between the singer and vocal mic. A pop filter will cut down on the mini-explosions of air that happen when a singer says “B” or “P”. Don’t ever leave this job for a compressor down the line. Pop filters also serve the secret purpose of blocking all spit spray from reaching your prized vocal mic. It is not uncommon to find studios stacking two pop filters depending on the singers style. Here are a couple of…

Writing for me is a biological process. This is the best analogy I can think of for why and how I write. Initially there is the basic autonomic writing, that inhales like a thought and exhales like a note: “take out the trash” or “buy milk and butter”. Then there is the slightly more complicated procedure of writing that is intended to communicate with others. This becomes somatic rather than autonomic. It requires that your eyes respond to what you have seen, and your ears to what you have…

Introduction Therapeutic listening is a novel concept that also provides musical stimulation for increasing various skills, as described by Frick and Montez (2005): Therapeutic listening uses developmental and sensory integration frameworks, uses the organized sound patterns inherent in music, uses music that is electronically altered to elicit a specific response, focuses on postural organization and breath regulation (core), and provides a catalyst for eliciting emergent skills (p. 2).…

I want to start off by sharing that I am aware that active listening is essential to working out conflict. While it is a weakness for myself as I struggle with active listening. I am a person that likes to multi-task, while having conversations or watching television, I find myself unable to maintain focus. This is a negative behavior that I condone especially since a part of active listening “is where you make a conscious effort to hear not only the words that another person is saying but, more…

My Relationship with my team was a relationship that I will never forget because it has taught me so much, that will be useful in my current and future relationships. In my relationship with my soccer team, each of our listening skills was appalling, which is really saying that we lacked in communication. Listening is taking up a sound and giving it a meaning (p.135). Listening is very important in a relationship. In my future and current relationships, I will improve my listening skills for a…

Weeeoooeee!! The sound of the ambulance in front of my house. Long ago when I was younger my brother, and I were riding our bikes, and Bam! Out of nowhere I was hit by a car. In the midst of it later found out my leg was broken, and when the doctors told my mother, I had no motivation to walk again. I failed myself by giving up hope that I would never be able to play sports, walk, or run again. Later on down the road my mother gave me the inspiration, and motivation to get on my feet and walk…

Distractions are all around us, and often they can send our head spinning. But is there a possibility much like when a person gets paroxysmal positional vertigo, that all these distractions could throw us off the pathway leading to Christ? In our inner ear we have two labyrinths First the Static labyrinth, which consists of the utricle and Saccule. Second, we have the dynamic labyrinth which consists of three semicircular canals, in this section of our ear there are little hairs called…
