Hearing and the Human Ear - Exit Ticket

Hearing and the Human Ear - Teaching Presentation 

Sinusoidal wave going trough entire human audio spectrum, starting at 20Hz and ending at 20kHz. Note that the frequency increases exponentially, the idea was to increase the frequency by constant fraction of currently played frequency rather than by a constant value (which would result in clearly noticeable fast change at lower frequencies and nearly no change at higher frequencies). Enjoy.

Note: This wave has the same volume level measured by acoustic pressure all the time, however human sound perception differs depending on frequency. For lower frequencies (below 1kHz) you might want to increase your volume, but don't forget to lower it later to avoid damage to your hearing. 

If you don't hear anything below 40-50Hz even at full volume your audio hardware is probably incapable of playing lowest frequencies. You might want to try to listen on the headphones in such case. Also if you stop hearing sound somewhere between 10kHz - 20kHz - do not increase your volume for safety reasons. Every human hears a bit differently and have different hearing thresholds. Hearing range also changes with age. Younger people can usually hear higher frequencies.

Can Earbuds Lead to Hearing Loss?

Hearing loss in kids because of headphones

I thought I would mention that now that I've had tinnitus for a few years, I can say that as time has gone on, it's become less of a problem for me. I've gotten used to it by now, though I always have to make sure to be aware of the sound levels in my surroundings so that it doesn't get worse.

This is the closest I could get to replicating the sound of my tinnitus.

Tinnitus is a ringing in your ears or head and often does not go away, ever. I got it from going to a concert (And it's the only one I've ever been to) and was right by the amp. I didn't know about tinnitus until a few days later when the ringing didn't go away and I was told it was tinnitus. Why am I telling you this? So you know to wear earplugs whenever you go to concerts so you don't end up with tinnitus like I did. I found out that mine will most-likely be permanent, so I know that if I knew about tinnitus then I would have taken safety precautions, so I figure I'll let you guys all know since I know that I would have liked to know about tinnitus before hand. There are other ways to get tinnitus, but this is the most common, and is often untreatable other than trying to use other noises to drown out the sound of the tinnitus.

The main problem with having tinnitus from my experiences are that trying to get some sleep is like going through hell.

Edit: As an update, it's been 6 years since I got tinnitus, and it's a lot more manageable for me now. It's not nearly as loud as it used to be, and I hardly notice it now. I just make sure to not listen to music too loud and I keep earplugs with me everywhere I go in case there's a loud noise such as a fire drill that I can't get away from.

What tinnitus sounds like

This is an example of what various types of hearing loss sound like to the individual with the loss.  I had been looking for something like this that would give me an idea of what my son's hearing loss is like (moderate).  This is a great tool for parents looking to relate to their child's loss.
