EACH EAR [14 records]

Record 1 2025-01-10

English

Subject field(s)
  • Pig Raising
CONT

The hog farmer usually numbers each litter sequentially throughout the year. In each litter, each piglet receives an individual number. For example, a litter number of 76 indicates the seventy-sixth litter born during the farrowing season. If nine piglets are in the litter, they are assigned an individual number from 1 to 9. By convention the litter number is placed in the right ear, and the individual piglet number is placed in the left ear...

Record 2 2023-02-22

English

Subject field(s)
  • Electronic Music
CONT

... 8D music is mixed in such a way as to make it feel multidimensional. In standard music mixing, most songs are limited to only a few channels. Pop music generally has two channels—left and right... To achieve proper left and right channel balance, audio engineers use equalizers, panning, and effects to keep what [listeners] hear in each ear about the same. In 8D [music], the engineers use these techniques to make it sound like the channels are shifting and the music is moving around [them].

OBS

8D music is best played with earphones or headphones as the effect is lost when played aloud.

[...] los organismos británicos dedicados a la Investigación Criminal decidieron crear una base de datos de orejas de individuos voluntarios con el fin de demostrar que, del mismo modo que ocurre con las huellas dactilares, no existen dos orejas exactamente iguales. Y en 2004, patólogos forenses de la Universidad de Leicester dieron un paso clave al desarrollar un sistema informático que permite identificar a un individuo utilizando su huella auricular.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Diagnostic Procedures (Medicine)
  • Hearing
DEF

A method of determining and quantifying the ability to hear a variety and range of audio frequencies with the help of an electronic device called an audiometer.

CONT

Audiometry provides a more precise measurement of hearing. Air conduction is tested by wearing earphones attached to the audiometer. Pure tones of controlled intensity are delivered to one ear at a time. The patient is asked to raise a hand, press a button, or otherwise indicate when he hears a sound. The minimum intensity(volume) required to hear each tone is graphed. An attachment called a bone oscillator is placed against the bone behind each ear(mastoid bone) to test bone conduction.

DEF

Méthode d'évaluation quantitative de l'acuité auditive pour les différents registres des fréquences sonores au moyen d'un appareil radioélectrique (audiomètre).

OBS

L'audiométrie peut être tonale (utilisant des sons purs), ou vocale (utilisant la voix étalonnée). Les variations des seuils de perception sont enregistrés sous forme d'audiogramme.

Subject field(s)
  • Acoustics (Physics)
OBS

When two or more sounds arriving from different directions combine at a point in space, e. g. at an ear or microphone, those components which are in step with each other(in phase) will add(constructive interference) and those that are out-of-phase will subtract, or cancel each other(destructive interference).

French

Domaine(s)
  • Acoustique (Physique)
OBS

Lorsque deux ondes acoustiques ou plus, convergent en un point de l'espace, par exemple au niveau d'un écouteur ou microphone, les ondes en phase vont s'additionner (interférence constructive) et celles qui ne le sont pas vont se soustraire, ou s'annuler (interférence destructive).
