oh sure and for the news the . busy executive board, right id, yes you 100, right? because like hundreds each of us because of a ticket, it is for making phone calls for, for each stopping. also, did you know that the right is more receptive to music? while the left ear is more receptive to speech? that's what a study of 3000 babies found on the anyone in alaska have the longest is in the

world. did you get all that then listen kathleen out. because you're about to learn everything you need to know about your is welcome to in good shape. i'm the weather large pointed for round part years are uniquely formed so uniquely that the shape of our ears can be used to identify us like fingerprints . but still they have some shared characteristics that are found in old people. the elastic structure made of cartilage, for example, the curved valleys and ridges to amplify certain frequencies,

mainly so we can pick out voices better and everyone has your low whether they serve a purpose though, isn't clear. it's possible that their tissues well supplied with blood help keep the outer ear warm, not powder years are not enough to be able to hear. a long time ago, the ability to turn sound waves into perceptible signals arose in fish. in the course of evolution, it's thought through gill arches became the bones of the inner ear, commonly called the hammer and bolt construct. they function as amplifiers, converting the vibrations of the air into mechanical vibrations, thanks to the large ear drum and the leverage of the bones. the signal is then strong enough to cause the fluid inside the cochlea to move the, the inner wall of the cost. we get is lined with thousands of auditory here. so,

unlike normal hairs, they're silly. don't go back. that's why too much noise austin causes irreparable hearing damage. the here cells in the inner ear or sensory cells, they convert some movement of the silly into electrical signals. these then travel to the brain via the auditory nerve. but they're the journey is far from over. the auditory nerve transmits the signal to the brain stem. the auditory cortex localized as the sound source, as well as pitch and sound and 10 today. but it's only in areas like the cerebral cortex, that sound becomes a conscious perception. our hearing is a complex and sophisticated apparatus that gives us access to a whole world of sensory perceptions. it's only shortcoming is that it's always active and can't just be turned off. when we want some peace and quiet,

we sometimes have no choice, but to help it along. many of us listen to too much loud music with headphones. and the concepts such as will and that more than a 1000000000 teens and young people worldwide are at risk of hearing impairments or even hearing loss. the world health organization close at a hearing loss epidemic queueing problems lead to delayed language development in children isolation, depression, and higher risk of unemployment troubling once hearing is damaged, never gets patient. so you have to protect yourself to maintain healthy is are a few things to keep in mind. cuts and swaps. many people believe that the popular hygiene art schools adjust the right tool to clean it deeply and thoroughly but fall off from it. because cotton swabs push the wex deep

into the deluxe, we squeeze together and it can become clunk. there's also a risk of injury because then i can well remember the patient who is using a cotton swab, stiffened someone from outside, opened the bathroom door of the car and swap was pushed through the drum and the entire media was broken. because i'm to walk up what we don't need to cushion swaps anyway, because this is the self cleaning. it works of both to protect and, and cleanser. never the less candles are often used to clean is a candle this band with one end. and it can, this is supposed to create a vacuum and pull the watts out of the it. but does it even what, what's unusual does it, it doesn't work at all. that they're also studies that show that use do not become cleaner and the risk of complications isn't minutes when that are some type of fun

. we see quite severe injuries in the area of the auditory canals just caused by the use of candles as well as damage to the drum health. i'm in the said that some of us thomas has so it's special to avoid this technique to together. what should you do if you is pitch? many of us reach for all kinds of objects to store the 18 the old years are often seen and patients who want to keep they use especially clean. i recommend 1st of all, that you clean your ease very live on yourself because they clean themselves is on the line. and the 2nd thing is you can try and using your finger to wrap a little oil based cream around your opening. and that spreads itself out a little bit too. i got a gift on desktop. has this done offer me to send the greatest danger for that is, is noise. continuous exposure to loud noise can lead to hearing loss. and genesis

a very loud fun can even close deafness. you should also, when it floods, concepts them and i get that. and if you end up at a concert, i'm thinking, crap, i don't have anything with me, but it's getting too loud for my eyes. done, it always works out great with tissues i also have that's what i do to i roll the dishes together and put them in my here. so and you know, then you have great protection depending on how hard you squeak for the why. it's important to protect children's hearing, that is a particularly sensitive and con, totally right now, defense that coming to to you can't put anything in children's years. they have much smaller. you can opt out of everything falls out again. but you should really use your mouse and i think this is what hearing protection for children looks like by the way, quiet walks, especially after noise events are also get to the is swimming and bathing announced a problem for healthy is but after basing any water should be removed

as a vessel some one asked you get the water out of the year after bathing the holding your head at an angle and then you can wiggle, elizabeth, or hop on one leg depending on what works. and then you can use a towel to dry of the walter into the patients are always afraid that the walter can get further into the year and then disappears somewhere into the head. cutting that doesn't happen. you can think of the drum as a battery of the water comes in for the you're here, the food, the external auditory canal and or the only reaches the drum pump. that's why it's not the dangerous thing. is this office to few hours so it's really not that difficult to keep you is clean and healthy. the medical expense recommend simply giving you is a rest as often as possible. the could also sand dunes and the mojave desert are

considered one of the quietest places in the world. but who can go there and how to escape the sounds of daily life? the number one problem is traffic noise which really subsides even at night. the loudest city in the world is said to be moved by in india. the main reasons for this of the constant home, king of caps and rituals, and the many construction projects is also suffering many professionals. so what can be done? hearing protection is a must. there are several ways to do that. does it show it as plays in 3 bass works? is a sound engineer and enjoys listening to live music. his life is one thing above all, loud in the privacy. i'm exposed to noise about 3 to 4 times a week, maybe even 5 times a week. i definitely worry about it damaging my hearing as well because with 4

hearing i'd be out of a job, i would skills davi often use is index sense of hearing protection. today you wants to find out if it's effective by taking a hearing test or damage. the hearing can occur with any form of noise. noise can also make people sick, increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease. ca, individual is of them. and con, gets very individualized. so we can agree that for the vast majority, roughly at around 60 decimals is when hearing starts to be damaged. and so that can be measured by the release of stress or not. and also in the hospital, there could also be a psychological impact could be used and that's of course much more difficult to measure. and that should be a good. so to find some common sources of noise in every day life or air and road traffic, live concerts, listening to music, through headphones, and live sporting events as a sound technician. david is also exposed to noise levels above $85.00 decimals.

without protection here, cells could become damaged and this could eventually lead to hearing loss. david's hearing test shows that his hearing is fine. but i've been, i'm a couple, this is once it's damaged, it's a permanent address, so it's never gets better and a mobile. that's why with the exposure to a loud noise in your private life and at work with hearing, no matter if it's noise at home or at work or the stress all that time for each of them is. so in your case, it's very important to take precautions and restrict us monday and contact them. and i'm just, david wants to avoid noise induced hearing loss at all costs. that's why he's trying out 3 pairs of earplugs in different situations and keeping a video diary. in the studio, he tests during protection with a membrane filter. these earplugs are supposed to reduce the ambient noise by up to 24 decibels, while preserving sound quality caught us. i know we still use a to

a to and i, these were ideally suited to a studio situation because i felt that they reduce the overall volume in quite a neutral way of stuck with them. which was great because it meant i could adjust the app zone from my guitar 2nd without really having to be exposed to high volumes of sound when i the fixed costs. so i'm not stepping off because it's science. most of these types of your blogs are well suited for a concert festivals, parties and clubs. the special design helps to preserve sound quality is on the filter vehicle here, and they have a filter in the back here, which you can see a little down here that filters out certain frequencies them. and that could maybe also be adapted on post. for example, if you can change the filter, you can simply adapt them to the situation to filter out other frequencies. for example, when you need to have a conversation was to bunch been on the list. that's exactly what the next hearing protector is designed to enable, namely, to hold the conversation even when there's

a lot of background noise. these earplugs are designed to minimize ambient noise, for example, in the office around children or a noisy bars or pugs, but still make it possible to hold the conversation. of the tests the year, plugs in a noisy pub to see whether they deliver the next day. you want to shoot to mouth info. they definitely reduce noise even though there was a nasty peek in the middle of which is good for understanding speech to austin. they're probably good for going out. that's how i use them to my thing. the last appeared david test is simple phone earplugs that has band rehearsal. they're cheap and readily available. he wears them for an entire song, but then breaks off games of insight and they definitely muscle the sounds. but they also created a lot of static mixed. i couldn't hear the guitar very well and the drums were very muscle as was the base for me on the high pitches were completely lost as you come

to sit on your gun. standard earplugs like these blocks ear canal, well, they are suitable for blocking out other kinds of ambient doors. for example, when doing d i y, sleeping in traffic and concentrated work, but special attention should be paid to hide you. while they do that because they close the ear canal, very tightly, long term use often leads to inflammation because liquids and heat simply build up their hits a showing that it was convinced by the ear plugs with filters, which also passed the band rehearsal test. in my stomach because i could still hear the band completely clearly with everything, just got a touch quieter, but the sound wasn't distorted onto a professional whether it's at concerts in pubs, for while is using power tools. fearing protection is worth while for everyone and prevents permanent damage to the years. david will continue to wear his hearing

protection to the only thing that helps with hearing loss is a hearing aid. one of the 1st electric hearing aids belong to the queen of england, 120 years ago. it weighed 12 kiddos. the devices have gotten smaller and smaller than you can now. hi them behind you. yeah. or in the frame of view glosses martin hearing aids are individually fitted using us, and it can impression the era scanned. and a 3 d printer uses this, attempted to produce the small plastic mode for the devices can now even be controlled with a smart phone. the hearing aid of the future is being developed at the university of oregon book. it reacts to i'm movement, it's a kind of microphone that follows the direction of fuel gaze. in a few years, the technology should be ready for the market. one special kind of hearing aid is

what's known as a cochlear implant. it started 4 years ago, suddenly slowly and wagner could hardly hear anything. and one in the 23 year old initially suspected acute hearing loss 12 months to mount young. and i was in my room watching a movie, and at some point my hearing was gone on the left side. i went to the n t doctor the next day, and we 1st gave me a cortisone and fusion. and a few days later it happened again, and then the cortisone didn't help anymore. sorry. and trying to using a hearing aids that the laser, the other it was also affected. and he was almost completely deaf. acoustic trauma and it disease can lead to deafness. but in florence case, chemotherapy treatment for cancer was to blame. things that came with tough part to go happen, but you can live unfortunately. kuma therapy drugs also have side effects. and one

of the possible side effects of his chemotherapy is that it has an os or toxic effect. that is, it has a damaging effect on this so that the end is the so called age. so that localized, you know, to treat talk. yeah. and the metabolism is the so it's just a sub. and so the cell is gradually dying, not on the only salvation for florian was called p, a hearing implants. these are no family anchored in both sides of his head. the audio processor on the outside of the head picks up sound, sends it to the implant under the skin, and via a flexible electrode onto the defective cop clear. here the order entry information is transmitted as an electrical impulses to the order trina and brain. with the coffee, a implant flow involved now was able to hear again just a few weeks off to surgery. however, he still has to train his speech comprehension. at the moment it is only 50 to 80

percent depending on the volume. this one med school caring with the called. the implant is completely different from not true hearing because the implant directly stimulates the order trina, electrically and what is also needed is the fitting. as the cooking in front and possum of this book on the one hand, it must not be too loud side. because otherwise it is unpleasant for the effective person. but it also has to be loud enough to get the maximum speech understanding, but the call to get in front off. ok, this move please. maxine model, i'm confident on top. i'm to be coming florian has gotten used to the implants and he likes to technical refinements. come with a couple of them. the ops span on the selection play music on my phone and that's transferred directly to the implanted device. it helps just like the sound of movies i play on my phone and the 2 sets and i can also use the phone as a microphone and ok, for example, when i'm sitting in a restaurant and several people are talking to me and then i can put the phone on

the table and it will all be recorded by the phone and send to my implanted devices . sorry im tons to see musical students for the 1st time since his hearing loss. and he hopes he can hit everything well with the implant and his so thing you've probably experienced this too soon, but you just can't get out of your head. you feel compelled to have a long inside. the melody becomes an endless loop. in german, it's cold and air with these melodies always pop up when we're not doing much, whether it be cooking, driving somebody going for a walk. the most common tip against it is to listen to the tracks all the way to the end. that helps the brain to protect the subject. the

people with 10 it says don't have it so easy. tentative is a constant whistling, buzzing, humming hissing, clicking on looking in the for those affected it's often hellish. audio. silence something a noun. dish. stephanie friend said she suffers from tentative. she has a constant whistling in her ear. does have him on and it's there all the time. it is part of my everyday nice house . i just get up in the morning. get ready, get the kids ready that i don't hear it's and i'm with that. i also turn on the radio relatively quickly. taxes of it during the day when i'm at work, that's the right to i don't hear it then he's a made me in the evening really when i rested when the kids are in bed with the silence and at night when i'm pulling a sleep enough sun i'm actually off stephanie friend, so it has an explanation for the constant westlake she thinks that was triggered by

severe stress. my mama, my husband died in february last year for the more not just 5 months later. my father in law died and then a very good friend of mine who helped me a lot like the steering out the belonging and because no girl has no family disappeared and then he committed suicide. and then and then at the end of the year, my sister got breast cancer and at some point it was just too much for me. his chronic tentative says a sound and a year that won't go away and is perceived differently by different people. hearing is not just a mechanical process. here, cells into years converts sound waves into nerve impulses. but 1st, the brain gives these electrical stimuli content and meaning. are they important score, unimportant, pleasant or unplugged. this interaction between auditory stimuli and the brain can

cause tentative as a psycho sematic reaction to stress, worry or anxiety. but it can also be the result of damage to the year caused by the loud noise is that's because the brandon amplifies missing frequency ranges, which are then over represented in the brain. the result, tinnitus, the noise, and stephanie friends as head wouldn't stop. she suspected she had tinnitus, and made an appointment with dr. was the advantage. i don't know so vision because the optics today, she's here for a checkup doctor via to examine sir, to see if anything has changed physically. well, so have you been yeah. um, i would say it's getting better, but i noticed that when i'm stress the sound gets louder again on the toner, the laptop. if ringing in the years doesn't go away after 2 days you should see an

ear, nose, and throat specialist. they'll examine the inner ear for damage and try to find out what's triggering the noise. the spectrum ranges from your diseases to muscle tension and stress. sometimes a hearing aid can help sometimes behavioral therapy. because often, no physical causes can be found. often chronic tenants as never goes away completely. patients have to learn to cope with it. of all finding whether it disturbs you, that's a mind to matter and you can influence that. that's why attendance, his treatment isn't directed at the year or more towards auditory processing, distress system and our emotional. so stop, i told him, the stuff is to him and what size of simulation, stephanie funds. so it has also found a way to cope with tinnitus. she meditates regularly and that's been helping her for 10 months now. while i'm 15 because attendance is,

was in the evening, i had started with guided meditation. and i listened to what the pass it on the recording is saying. that was solely focused on how my body is positioned, the points of support, and i focus on my breathing to distract myself from the noise. stephanie, when so it doesn't know i for tenant, as will ever go away. but she has learned to live with it. it's there, but it no longer affects for quality of life. some tended to suffer as experience relief through special relaxation exercises. temp shows you how it works. today i'm going to show you a great exercise which helps you to loosen the neck and shoulder area. just an upright with a slight back. then you hold your hand and you pull it
