The trouble is, a Bell or deci Bell is not used by itself to measure anything, as it's just a ratio of 2 values, i.e. a relative unit of measurement. One needs to also specify what the 2 values measure, e.g. dBW, dBm, dBA, dBSP etc.

My genius mother once told me confidently that earwax has zero purpose. When I was a child she used to make me lay on my side, and she'd hold my head down while she poured rubbing alcohol in my ears and shoved q-tips in there. This caused problems for me like double hearing, and everything sounding weird and metallic, which as a music lover was rather traumatic. She never connected that it was because of her.

@KristenRowenPliske Год назад

My family has congenital hearing loss. Starts in our 30’s & gets worse as time goes. I remember my dad getting his hearing aids & being startled badly by how loud my brother & I had had to speak so he could hear us. I’ve had hearing aids for about 13 yrs now. I’ve had constant tinnitus for so long, I can tune it out; the hearing aids don’t block it but if I’m listening to something, my brain tunes the ringing out. For some reason, though, my mother -despite living with my almost deaf dad, knowing his almost deaf father & totally deaf aunt- still thinks I can hear her when she talks behind me or if she whispers. Why do you whisper, m’am? I can’t hear you and Dad can’t hear you at all anyway, just speak normally!

@PedroHenrique-sp2yt Год назад

3 days if you're lucky. Many people have it for life. Venues, in my opinion, are criminally destroying the people's hearing.

(Edited to correct - This is a production issue by the video editors not Dr Taylor see below) As a random small technical gripe when she mentions the ossicles, she picks up the wrong part. What she has in her hand at that point is the vestibular system, the cochlea and semicircular canals. The ossicles are actually attached to the back of the eardrum on that apparatus.

Back in high school, one of my classmates was placed into a psych facility because they said he had auditory hallucinations. It turned out it was nothing more than tinnitus all along. The entire event was traumatic for him. They kept increasing his medication dosage and the sounds wouldn’t go away. Finally it was an audiologist who diagnosed him correctly.

I can't believe this wasn't called "Hearing Aid" instead of "Hearing Support"

The samsung buds have an ambient sound function that makes it so u can hear things around you and you can change the intensity even to one that's purposely higher than normal hearing

I'm fully convinced she'd be the only person who could fix my hearing problems. Where do I book a consultation?

Great vid! I always scored worse in the beep tests than my classmates, and I'm only in my 20s & need people to speak WAY louder than the background or i have to rely on reading their lips. Definitely gonna cop those ear plugs...

its worth mentioning wearing headphones for long stretches especially the in-ear type increases bacteria by up to 800% however you can get in-ear headphones that have a hole on the middle of the ear bud to enable the user to hear their surroundings better, a side bonus of a hole in the earbud will be no bacteria build up

I used to be able to walk into a room and know whether there was a computer monitor on. This was in the days of CRT's. I mentioned to my dad that I couldn't hear it any more, and he explained what Dr. Taylor did about the loss of high-frequency hearing. (I was only in my 20's.)

My grandmother got a cochlear implant 2 years ago and she described it exactly like you did very tinny and in the beginning hard to understand but therapy helped a lot

@boredpotato182 Год назад

Kind of makes me want to have an audiologist appointment. PS This is awesome but also what is your curly hair routine?!! Omg

@Dr_Earwax Год назад

Haha! You might be the only person who actually understands what curly hair is! Everyone thought my hair was wet and fresh out of the shower! I use controlled chaos shampoo and conditioner and then Pantene pro-v mousse !

@irrelevance3859 Год назад

Right! She has amazing hair!

In elementary school there was a girl that would go around the playground and scream as loud and high as she could in people’s ears. I was her victim one day, and I lost some hearing in my right ear. I can barely hear people if they’re on my right side :(

@benjaminjr8818 Год назад

that's actually very tragic that girl should be disciplined

@Johnny-ci8mw Год назад

@@benjaminjr8818 She probably was eventually. It was pretty clear that the girl had special needs, so it was probably tough for teachers to understand how to discipline her. It was a few decades ago so there wasn’t as much awareness.

Perfect annunciation, and smiles with every word. Even her eyes smile.

People and particularly phone manufacturers need to understand that not all headphones take the same amount of power to get equally loud. So the person saying they need their headphones "jacked all the way up" might just have an inefficient headphone. And your phone automatically turning your volume down and warning you, when your headphone is just so inefficient the phone can barely make them play normally at max volume is maddening.

@MacNerfer Год назад

Sounds to me like you're playing the music WAAAAY too loud! You shouldn't be getting close to max, especially not for prolonged time. You're going to have tinnitus before you're 30.
