Hearing

56.2K
When we hear a sound, our nervous system is detecting sound waves—pressure waves of mechanical energy traveling through a medium. The frequency of the wave is perceived as pitch, while the amplitude is perceived as loudness.

Perceiving Loudness, Pitch, and Location01:21

Perceiving Loudness, Pitch, and Location

830
The human brain perceives pitch through two primary mechanisms reflected in place theory and frequency theory. Each mechanism describes how sound waves are interpreted as specific pitches by the brain, offering insights into the intricate processes of auditory perception.
Place theory, or place coding, suggests that different pitches are heard because various sound waves activate specific locations along the cochlea's basilar membrane. The brain determines the pitch of a sound by...

The Cochlea01:13

The Cochlea

49.9K
The cochlea is a coiled structure in the inner ear that contains hair cells—the sensory receptors of the auditory system. Sound waves are transmitted to the cochlea by small bones attached to the eardrum called the ossicles, which vibrate the oval window that leads to the inner ear. This causes fluid in the chambers of the cochlea to move, vibrating the basilar membrane.

Assessing Body Temperature - Tympanic membrane

1.0K
Assessing tympanic membrane temperature involves using a tympanic membrane thermometer (TMT). Here is a step-by-step guide:
Step 1: Begin by practicing good hand hygiene to prevent the transmission of microorganisms.
Step 2: Turn on the thermometer and wait until the ready sign appears on the screen to ensure accurate measurement.
Step 3: Slide the probe cover in place to prevent cross-contamination.
Step 4: Instruct the patient to tilt their head to the side for comfort and check for cerumen...

Sound Intensity Level00:53

Sound Intensity Level

4.7K
Humans perceive sound by hearing. The human ear helps sound waves reach the brain, which then interprets the waves and creates the perception of hearing. The loudness of the environment in which a person is located determines whether they can distinguish between different sound sources.
The human ear can perceive an extensive range of sound intensity, necessitating the use of the logarithmic scale to define a physical quantity—the intensity level. It is a ratio of two intensities and...

Perception of Sound Waves01:01

Perception of Sound Waves

5.3K
The human ear is not equally sensitive to all frequencies in the audible range. It may perceive sound waves with the same pressure but different frequencies as having different loudness. Moreover, the perception of sound waves depends on the health of an individual's ears, which decays with age. The health of one's ears may also be affected by regular exposure to loud noises.
The pitch of a sound depends on the frequency and the pressure amplitude of the source. Two sounds of the same...

Area of Science:

  • Social media analysis
  • Public health communication
  • Tinnitus research

Background:

  • Tinnitus is a prevalent condition affecting many individuals.
  • Understanding online discourse is crucial for public health initiatives.
  • Social media platforms like Twitter offer insights into patient communities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate patterns of Twitter usage related to tinnitus.
  • To identify key users, content, and network dynamics.
  • To understand the role of social media in tinnitus discourse.

Main Methods:

  • Cross-sectional analysis of Twitter data from May to October 2018.
  • Examination of tweet content, language, reach, users, accounts, temporal trends, and social networks.
  • Analysis of approximately 70,000 tweets.

Main Results:

  • Organizational accounts (52%) outnumbered individual accounts (44%) among the top 100 active users.
  • Commercial/for-profit organizations were the most common account type (26%).
  • Twitter primarily serves advocacy, personal experience sharing, and tinnitus management information, rather than social support.

Conclusions:

  • Organizational and commercial entities dominate tinnitus conversations on Twitter.
  • Social media analysis can reveal community interests and influential voices in tinnitus discussions.
  • Twitter's role in tinnitus discourse is primarily informational and advocacy-focused.
