Related • Letters: The Medium (January 23‚ 2011) [pic] Illustrations by Olimpia Zagnoli Given the current ubiquity of personal media players — the iPod appeared almost a decade ago — many researchers attribute this widespread hearing loss to exposure to sound played loudly and regularly through headphones.

turn to neurochemistry‚ not that I can say I’m an expert. I’ve been perusing ScienceDaily and TedTalks for some ideas (links at the bottom). There are several angles that can be taken to try and explain why people enjoy music and certain other sounds. The first and most obvious approach is the psychological A lot of music can and does derive its emotional impact from cultural associations. For example: bluegrass is‚ for many‚ easy to associate with a simplistic or rustic lifestyle because of the

This device is used to treat people with severe and profound hearing loss. The implanted component is placed under the skin‚ behind the patient’s ear‚ and connected to the auditory nerve of the brain. The Cochlear Implants are designed to receive sounds and convert them into electrical signals that bypass the damaged nerves‚ allowing the brain to interpret the electrical signals. How has the use of Cochlear Implant technology grown? Cochlear Implants have been approved since the mid-1980’s but

consisted of us doing sound tracks and still images. We were placed into groups to do these. A sound track is when you put together sounds to do with a specific topic‚ this topic being Roses of Eyam‚ and create an ongoing sound until you reach the finish. A still image is what when you get given a subject to make a picture out of and you freeze into that picture and the audience have to guess what the still image is of. Some groups were better than others in doing the sound tracks. What worked well:

Even though the sound of speech can’t be seen by human eyes‚ it could still be sensed by one of the human senses which is the ears. And even though the smell of coffee can’t be seen‚ it could still be sensed by one of the human senses which is the nose. So the counterexamples given in my objection regarding the sound of speech and the smell of coffee are no longer valid if the interpretation of “invisible” becomes

They are a Square Wave‚ a Musical Note and Sound Cancellation. For the first part‚ it is the superposition of sine wave. We are going to construct a square wave (approximately) by adding together some pure tones of different frequencies. This stretched string vibrating at

engineers’ job is to operate the sound board or any other electrical equipment during the recording of music. A recording engineer helps to produce a recording or a performance‚ editing and adjusting sound tracks using equalization and audio effects‚ mixing‚ reproduction‚ and reinforcement of sound. Mixing may involve changing tempos‚ adding more bass or treble‚ changing any volume levels‚ and adding beats. The recording engineer will mix music and tracks to make them sound just right. Mixing is an art

You imagination distinctive visuals through the sense of sound‚ but how does one get these specific concepts? By timbre (tone color). Through the concepts of voice classification‚ instrument families and members‚ and ensemble type you can get a multitude of tone colors. With each tone color comes up a different idea. Timbre: otherwise known as “tone color”‚ is the quality of music that identifies a specific instruments sound. Different instruments differentiate by variety/contrast of “color. These

Moncada‚ Angelica De La Salle Lipa Grade 10 PHYSICS Why did humans can’t hear the ultrasound unlike the dogs? Ultrasound is a cyclic sound pressure wave with a frequency greater than the upper limit of the human hearing range. Ultrasound is thus not separated from "normal" (audible) sound based on differences in physical properties‚ only the fact that humans cannot hear it. Although this limit varies from person to person‚ it is approximately 20 kilohertz (20‚000 hertz) in healthy‚ young
