I searched about the ear components and how vibrations traveled to the brain; I did not know the ear had so many functions and steps before reaching the brain. After I had some background information I searched about psychoacoustics‚ the study of mind perception. It was a really complex topic for me and videos

I did this on two separate occasions‚ once at home for about a half an hour while everyone was home and I was doing my normal morning routine‚ then for about forty-five minutes in public with a group of friends.

of hearing impairment is mixed hearing loss‚ which is when a person has both sensorineural and conductive hearing loss.

and head movement assist in directional auditory localisation (Muller‚ B.S.‚ & Bovet‚ P. 1999) and spatial hearing (Denise Van Barneveld‚ Floor Binkhorst‚ A. John Van Opstal 2011). The pinnae is the outer structure of the ear which catches and guides sounds into the inner ear‚ and this study will assess the differences of sound localisation if the pinnae is distorted and undistorted. The use of head movement in this study is to investigate whether sound localisation improves when the head is mobilized

I learned in the A & P course that ear wax (or cerumen) is a waxy secretion by ceruminous gland (= modified sebaceous gland)‚ mixed with sloughed epithelial cells‚ which inhibits the growth of certain bacteria due to its acidic pH. It also protects the skin of the external auditory canal by providing a waterproof layer‚ so‚ it’s something beneficial to us. Sure enough‚ there appear to be a number of articles written to support this - "Bactericidal activity of cerumen"‚ Chai & Chai (ref 1)‚ "Bactericidal
