Hearing is the human ear picking up on sound waves and interprets them into audio in which we can understand. Much like a computer which takes analog waves and converts them into…
29. Why does Yasuo try to ambush Hatsue as she gets water? What does he plan to do?…
The first step would be the stimulation whether it be air noises, water noises, music or someone coughing. The sound then travel to the outer ear where it is the reflected into the middle ear where it is amplified into the inner ear. The sound is then transferred through the viscous fluid in the cochlea. Inside the cochlea are tubes that are filled with fluid and hair cells. The hair cells are moved by the sound waves and become receptors for the primary auditory cortex. The cortex then processes the sounds into an interpretation. (University of Phoenix,…
Sound vibrations from the buzzing bee vibrate the air molecules as pressure waves around my ear and enter the auricle which is cone-shaped in order to direct these sound waves into the ear via the external acoustic meatus. The sound waves reach the tympanic membrane through the external acoustic meatus and cause it to vibrate. When the tympanic membrane moves, it causes the auditory ossicles to move. The auditory ossicles are made up of the malleus, incus, and stapes. These ossicles are important…
Sound waves enters through your ear and travels through a narrow passage called ear canal, which then leads to your ear drums. Then the ear drums vibrate from the incoming sound waves and sends these sound vibrations to your three tiny bones called malleus, incus, and stapes. When the sound vibration hits the fluid movement in the cochlea of the inner ear. An elastic partition goes through the cochlea, which starts from the beginning of the cochlea to the end. After this, it goes into two different directions, upper part and lower part. The partition is called basilar membrane. Following that, the vibrations causes the fluid to ripple a travelling wave which forms along…
The inner ear is called dual sensory because it controls a combination of vision and hearing.…
Throughout the years technology has drastically changed. From for example the typewriter to computers and printers. Although a lot of technology only benefitted hearing people. Like for example the telephone. Now when the telephone first came out it was a way for people to communicate and socialize, but how were deaf people supposed to do that if they can’t hear through the phone. For almost 100 year after its invention, the telephone separated deaf people from the rest of society. This also effected deaf people in their jobs because they were denied promotions due to the fact that they needed to use the phone and they couldn’t. However they did invent things to help deaf people communicate. Like for example in 1964, Robert Weitbrecht, a deaf…
HOW SOUND WORKS: The different ways that sound works is by a wave called the longitudinal wave. Like it said in source 1 "The longitudinal wave is a wave that travels in a single direction which means how loud the sound is and the pitch of the sound will vary and will depend on the amount of energy that was sent out as the wave was released'' . so when the longitudinal wave is released it goes to the brain so that the brain can translate it and tell you what it is.Another way sound works is by hearing sounds in paragraph 3 it states "that vibrations are created ,and a longitudinal wave is sent out , but that does not guarantee that anyone is able to hear sound''. so when you hear sound there are many ways to hear it even if you can't you can…
By considerable measure, the largest known animal on Earth is the blue whale. Mature bluewhales can measure anywhere from 75 feet (23 m) to 100 feet (30.5 m) from head to tail, and can weigh as much as 150 tons (136 metric tons). That's as long as an 8- to 10-story building and as heavy as about 112 adult male giraffes! These days, most adult blue whales are only 75 to 80 feet long; whalers hunted down most of the super giants. Female blue whales generally weigh more than the males. The largest blue whale to date is a female that weighed389,760 pounds (176,792 kg).…
For example, if I want to see if a box is empty or full I have to make a hole in the box. Hearing can register the interior structures of whatever it is that produces them. A saxophone sounds differently from a flute’ it is structured differently inside (Ong , 2012, pg. 71). Sound has the ability incorporate everything when you look at something you see one direction. Sound allows you the ability to hear simultaneously from every direction at once.…
The ability to hear; an intrinsic capability granted to the majority of the human population. There are people, however, who are unable to hear the ripple of voices speaking through quivering lips or the sound of music resonating from an instrument. These individuals, while low in percentage, are hearing impaired, or also known as deaf. Until recently, people hard of hearing did not have a chance to restore their lost sense. However, as technology has advanced, small electronic devices called cochlear implants have been created to provide stimulation to the auditory nerve within the inner ear, thus providing people with a perception of the sense of sound. While this machinery is an innovative step towards the restoration of hearing, limitations caused by the lack of sophistication in its design and functionality has caused risks correlated with its use. With unwanted hazards associated with surgery, uncertain effects caused by the implants on everyday life, and caution stemming from the deaf community, receiving cochlear implants may provide more harm than assistance to recipients.…
Human beings have been gifted with five basic senses those of touch, sound, smell, sight and taste. Hearing is one of the very essential and treasured senses; any disruption causes us immense concern. However, some of us are most unfortunate to get affected by loss of hearing. The ear is divided into 3 parts (anatomically) as the Outer, Middle and Inner parts.…
The main argument of R. Murray Schafer's Soundscape: The Tuning of the World is to understand the world through ears by learning soundscapes. Schafer shows a perception-driven strategy for us to understand the community from an aural perspective.I am interested about how he introduced the revolution of soundscape chronologically. The revolution of soundscape is embedded within the development of technology, which helps me to differentiate distinct sound elements and allows me to understand how the soundscape is analogous to an orchestra ensemble or a musical composition. I am skeptical about the notation of soundscape andI found it is paradoxical because the notation is a visual system using symbols, graphics and data to represent the soundscape,…
During the last 30 years medicine has reached new frontiers and many new breakthroughs that benefit the public on regular bases. Now what were once unknown diseases that could not be treated such as cancer are now able to be treated. In consequence of technology evolving and becoming more high tech, machines that allow chemo therapy and radiation are available. I am very grateful for this breakthrough in science because my grandfather had cancer and because of radiation the cancerous cells were killed and now he is able to live a long and healthy life in the sun. Another benefit that technology had given us in science is beneficial to deaf people. Hundreds of years ago these disabled people had no hope of recovering any hearing, but now there are hearing aids, and surgeries that replace impaired parts of the ear. Surgeries now are available to anyone at any time, we might take this a common action now but a hundred years ago surgeries were dangerous and done raw without any sedatives.…
To understand how hearing loss happens, it helps to know how the ear works. The ear is made up of three different sections: the outer ear, the middle ear, and the inner ear. These parts work together that is why we can hear and process sounds. The outer ear picks up sound waves and the waves transfer through the outer ear canal. When the sound waves hit the eardrum in the middle ear, the eardrum starts to vibrate.…
