when things are tangible and that’s why
when things are tangible and that’s why today kind of do draw comparisons
today kind of do draw comparisons
today kind of do draw comparisons between vision and hearing to make it
between vision and hearing to make it
between vision and hearing to make it more graspable for you so yeah I wasn’t
more graspable for you so yeah I wasn’t

really that interested in hearing I I
really that interested in hearing I I didn’t really care about my hearing I
didn’t really care about my hearing I
didn’t really care about my hearing I just used it as a sense so how did I get
just used it as a sense so how did I get

kind of the most crucial part of hearing
kind of the most crucial part of hearing is extracting information in speech and

if you’re not trying to read this um
if you’re not trying to read this um it’s probably quite exhausting and you

to play again a sound which is going from 20 kilo Hertz to 22 kilo Hertz and
from 20 kilo Hertz to 22 kilo Hertz and
from 20 kilo Hertz to 22 kilo Hertz and I would ask you again to lift your hand
I would ask you again to lift your hand
I would ask you again to lift your hand while you hear the sound and take it
while you hear the sound and take it
while you hear the sound and take it down when you don’t anymore because yeah
down when you don’t anymore because yeah
down when you don’t anymore because yeah the higher end is what we lose first

so these are the frequencies and this teenager can hear up to 20,000 kilohertz
teenager can hear up to 20,000 kilohertz
teenager can hear up to 20,000 kilohertz and as we age and there’s where speech
and as we age and there’s where speech
and as we age and there’s where speech is happening so speech is in a very

lower frequent on the relatively lower
lower frequent on the relatively lower frequencies and a teenager hears to a

hearing ability Goes Down and it’s
hearing ability Goes Down and it’s slowly eating into the speech area so it
slowly eating into the speech area so it
slowly eating into the speech area so it becomes harder and harder to us to
becomes harder and harder to us to
becomes harder and harder to us to understand someone but when we look at
understand someone but when we look at

music for example taking a violin a
music for example taking a violin a violin is going up to around 15,000 kilo
violin is going up to around 15,000 kilo
violin is going up to around 15,000 kilo Hertz so the hearing loss is affecting
