sensorineural hearing loss. Noise-induced hearing loss‚ or NIHL‚ occurs when your ears are exposed to overly loud sounds. Any sound over 85 decibels is considered to be dangerous to the ears and your hearing. The louder the sound‚ the shorter the length of time that is considered “safe” exposure. For example‚ at a loud rock concert‚ sound may reach 115 decibels‚ and only a short 15 minutes can cause cochlear damage. In addition‚ repeated exposure to loud sounds can cause additional cochlear damage

limits Elizabeth Bryan Florida State University Lab 4: Method of limits. Sound waves are created when an object vibrates. They have two main components: frequency (pitch; measured in Hertz (Hz)) and amplitude (loudness‚ intensity; measured in decibels (dB)). The method of limits is a psychophysical method in which a particular dimension of a stimulus‚ or the difference between two stimuli‚ is varied incrementally until the participant responds differently. The change in stimulus intensity is orderly

A Careful Analysis of a Research Study: Dr. Andersen’s Hypothesis The purpose of this paper is to provide a critical review of a recent study examining the effects of violent video games on aggressive behavior in young children. Let me first provide a brief summary of the study. (a) The hypothesis is that violent video games cause aggression in young children. (b) The target population is young children. (c) The samples are young school age children and the sample sizes are sixty children separated

increase the risk of death by affecting their ability of prey detection‚ interfere with reproduction and navigation‚ and contribute to permanent hearing loss. MEASURING SOUND: • Loudness/noise intensity is measured in decibels (db) • Loudness of a sound is dependent upon proximity to source of sound • No damage will be done to the ear if the sound level is below 80

UNDERSTANDING NOISE POLLUTION Most of us are very used to the sounds we hear in everyday life. Loud music‚ the television‚ people talking on their phone‚ the traffic and even pets barking in the middle of the night. All of these have become a part of the urban culture and rarely disturb us. However‚ when the sound of the television keeps you from sleeping all night or the traffic starts to give you a headache‚ it stops becoming just noise and start turning into noise pollution. For many of us
