for they share their ideas and their writing passion for the forms close out. in 60 minutes on d w, we've got some hot tips for your bucket list. magic corner check. hot spot and some great coach on the board has to vote w travel off we go the. ready busy executive board, right. id. yes. you headed right? because like hands each of us because of the ticking it is for making phone calls for, for each stopping full. so 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 $3000.00 babies found. on the anyways,
8:31 am
in alaska had the longest, is in the world. did you get all that? then listen carefully now, because you're about to learn everything you need to know about your is welcome to in good shape. i'm what they're 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 into bridges amplify certain frequencies,
8:32 am
mainly so we can pick out voices better and everyone has your low. whether they serve a purpose though, is unclear, it's possible that their tissues well supplied with blood help keep the outer ear worn out. her ears 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 installed through gill arches became the bones of the inner ear, commonly called the hammer, anvil, and stir up. 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 less than strong enough to cause the fluid inside the cochlea to move the, the inner wall is a calculator,
8:33 am
is lined with thousands of auditory here. so unlike normal hairs, they're silly. don't grow back. that's why too much noise austin causes irreparable hearing damage. the here cells in the inner ear or sensory cells, they convert the movement of the silly a into electrical signals. these then travel to the brain via the auditory nerve. but they are 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 intensity. 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,
8:34 am
we sometimes have no choice, but to help it along. many of us listen to too much loud music with headphones on 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. the troubling once hearing is damaged, navigate special, 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 schools adjust the right tool to clean it deeply and thoroughly. but fall off from it,
8:35 am
because cutting swaps push the wex deep into the deluxe is squeezed together and it can become clumped. there's also a risk of injury academy. then i can well remember a 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 middle here was broken. this one does because i'm to walk up with we don't need to cushion slips anyway, because all is the self cleaning it works supposed to protect and the cleanser never the less candles are often used to clean is a hollow candle. this band with one end and the it can this is supposed to create a vacuum and pull the wax out of the it. but does it even what, what's unusual doesn't. it doesn't work at all that there also studies to show that use do not become cleaner and the risk of complications is the minutes when the
8:36 am
other student has on. we see quite severe injuries in the area of the auditory canals just caused by the use of your candles as well as damage to the drum health . i'm and the said that someone is thomas has so it's special to avoid this technique to together. what should you do if you is it's many of us reach for all kinds of objects to stop the 18 to the old ears are often seen and patients who want to keep their use especially clean. i recommend 1st of all that you clean, you're using very late 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, as a gift to invest, potentially started offering to send the greatest danger for that is, is noise. continuous exposure to loud noise can lead to hearing loss. and genesis
8:37 am
a very loud thing can even cause deafness. you should also, when it plugs concepts them and i get out and did 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 use that and it always works. i would grade with tissues. i also have that's what i do to i roll the dishes together and put them in my years and then you have great protection depending on how hard you suites for the why it's important to protect children's hearing. that is a particularly sensitive and con, totally right. now and then with that coming to to you kind of put anything in children's years, they have much smaller. you cannot help out if 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 also get to the is swimming and bathing and off. the
8:38 am
problem for healthy is, but after facing any war to should be removed as a vessel some one after you get the water out of the year after bathing, the holding your head at an angle and then you can wiggle a little bit 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. confess. you can think of the drum as a barrier, you were leaving us with the watch that comes in for the you're here, the 3rd, the external auditory canal and or that's the only reaches that you drive. and that's why it's not a dangerous thing, is is off just a few hours so it's really not that difficult to keep you is clean and healthy. the medical expense recommend simply giving you is the rest as often as possible. the
8:39 am
kelso 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 done several several ways to do this. does it show it as plays in 3 bass works? is a sound engineer and enjoys listening to live using 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
8:40 am
hearing i'd be out of a job, i'm, it's most often uses inexpensive hearing protection. today he wants to find out if it's effective by taking a hearing test on the damage the hearing can occur with any form of noise. noise can also make people sick, increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease associated individual is of them. and congress, very individualized. so we can agree that for the vast majority, roughly at around on 60 decimals is when hearing starts to be time, it did just come in. so that can be measured by the release of stress hormone. and also in the hospital, there could also be a psychological impact to use. and that's of course much more difficult to measure and ensure you go to uh to find some common sources of noise in every day life or air and road traffic, live concerts, listening to music, to headphones, and live sporting events as a sound technician. david is also exposed to noise levels above $85.00 decimals.
8:41 am
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 of this is once it's damaged, it's a permanent address. it's never gets better in 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, the stress all that job which of them is. so in your case, it's very important to take precautions and restrict us monday and on 5 am. 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
8:42 am
a to at soon 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 at 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 are not certificate opposite sides. most of these types of earplugs are well suited for a concert festivals, parties and clubs. the special design helps to preserve sound quality. how many is on the filter vehicle here? 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 the most. that's exactly what the next hearing protector is designed to enable, namely, to hold the conversation even when there's
8:43 am
a lot of background noise. these here plugs 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 or take the next day you want us to, to involved in for they definitely reduce noise even though there was a nasty peek in the middle, which is good for understanding speech that 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 who them sums 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 bustle as was the base them on. the high pitches were completely lost as you come
8:44 am
to sit on your gun. standard earplugs like these block the ear canal. well, there 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 high g by the, the good news is 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 of my stomach because i could still hear the band completely clearly west side of everything. just got a touch quieter, but the sound wasn't distorted. on to a professional whether it's at concerts in pubs for while using power tools, fewer and protection is worth while for everyone and prevents permanent damage to
8:45 am
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 key. those. the devices have grown smaller and smaller than you can now height them behind your ear or in the frame of view clauses. martin hearing aids 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 2 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 regards to a movement. it's a kind of microphone that follows the direction of your gaze. in a few years, the technology should be ready for the markets. one special kind of hearing aid is
8:46 am
what's known as a copier implant. it started 4 years ago, suddenly slowly and wagner could hardly hear anything. and one is the 23 year old initially suspected acute hearing loss 12 months to not young. and i was in my room watching a movie. and at some point my hearing was going on the left side. i went to the n t doctor the next day, and he 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 try and using a hearing age, 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, casey taylor therapy, treatment for cancer was to blame. things that came up to the part to go have them in life. unfortunately, kuma therapy drugs also have side effects. and one of the possible side effects of
8:47 am
his chemotherapy is that it has an ocean of toxic effect. that is, it has a damaging effect on the cells of the, in, in the so called age. so that localized and older tree khaki. yeah. and the metabolism is the, so it's just a sub. and so the sounds gradually die, 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 and 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 copier. implant flow involved now was able to hear again just a few weeks after surgery. however, he still has to train his speech comprehension. at the moment it is only 50 to 80
8:48 am
percent depending on the volume this one med school comparing with the call to your implant is completely different from not true hearing because the implant directly stimulates the order trina, electrically this and what is also needed is the fitting as the caulked implant and possible me this quote 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 colquitt implant for faces. move please. maxine model, incorporated contact to i'm to become the florian has gotten used to the implants and he likes the technical refinements. just come with a couple and then the ops be on on the so i can play music on my phone and that's transferred directly to the implant the device. it helps you just like the sound of movies like 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
8:49 am
the table and it will all be recorded by the phone and send to my implanted devices, sorry im tons to see music who is doing for the 1st time since his hearing loss. and he hopes he can hit everything well with the implant and the sofa and he is probably experience this too soon, but you just can't get out of your head. do you feel compelled to have a long inside? the melody becomes an endless news. in german, it's cold and air with these melodies always pop up when we're not doing much, whether it be cooking, driving or simply 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
8:50 am
people with 10 it says don't have it so easy. tentative is a constant whistling, buzzing, humming hissing. clicking on knocking in the air. filters detected. it's often hellish. audio. silence something a noun dish. stephanie friend said she suffers from tinnitus. she has a constant whistling in her ear. does have him on into it's there all the time and those parts of my everyday night . i'll just get up in the morning, get ready, get the kids ready that i don't hear it. so no more 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 maybe in the evening really when i rest is when the kids are in bed. when the silence and at night when i'm falling asleep enough fun. i'm actually off stephanie spencer, that has an explanation for the constant west lane. she thinks that was triggered
8:51 am
by severe stress. my mama and my husband died in february last year for more not just 5 months later. my father in law died and then a very good friend of mine who helped me loans like the steering out the belonging and because no girl has no problem. he 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 i'm just, oh too much for me is chronic, tentative as a sound in the ear 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
8:52 am
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 brain then amplifies the 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. reserve. i don't know if it's because of 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 will. it's getting back to me, but i noticed that when i'm stress the sound gets louder again. i've done that, the toner, that laptop if ringing in the years, doesn't go away. after 2 days,
8:53 am
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 tentative never goes away completely. patients have to learn to cope with it, about finding whether it disturbs you, that's a mind to matter and you can influence that. that's why tentative treatment isn't directed at the year or more towards auditory processing, the stress system, and our emotional. so starts on the surface team 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 the tenant has as well as in the
8:54 am
evening, i have 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 focused on my breathing to distract myself from the noise. stephanie, when, so it doesn't, no effort. tinnitus 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 to special relaxation exercises. tim 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 is it seems like back then you hold your hand and you pull it
