Add details to the notes below that you found interesting…

• Goal: listen to music in a way that it will enrich but not harm you
• 10%-20% of high schoolers have hearing damage
• Hearing damage can happen in one occasion, doesn’t have to be constant
• No cure!
• Temporary Threshold Shift: “hearing hangover”
• Wearing earplugs doesn’t change the quality of sound but just the volume
• High-frequency loss is most commons with musicians
• Distancing yourself from the source and earplugs are the best way to prevent hearing loss
• Stimulants while listening to music can increase the risk of hearing damage
• Resting your ears is important, space out concerts
• 70 dB, no risk
• 85 dB, risk after 8 hours
• 91dB, 2 hours without damage
• 100 dB, 15 minutes without damage
• 115 dB, 1 minute without damage
• 140 dB, immediate damage and pain
• Symptoms of damage, tinnitus, muffled hearing, and other mental and physical problems like irritability, depression, high blood pressure, and fatigue
• damage is done when the cochlea hair cells in the inner ear are damaged, they do not grow back. These are what interpret vibrations and turn them into what we hear

LAB

Write learning reflection here… and explore some songs:

None of them played in Hooktheory but I could hear them by clicking on each note to listen to them or by clicking on HookPad. I checked out Float on by Modest Mouse, The New by interpol, and And Your Bird Can Sing by the beatles.

PRACTICE ROOM

Set a STRETCH goal here…

• I’d Prefer to learn songs for the Keyboard but if I were to learn a simple song (I just googled simple songs) on the guitar It would be Creep by Radiohead. There wasn’t an option for it in the survey will it be possible?

Guitar Tabs Explained

Write notes here: Unsure what I’m supposed to put in here…

WHAT I LEARNED and PROBLEMS I SOLVED

I learned about how noise cancellation works and its origins in coding messages during WWII. I learned about how easy it is now to damage your hearing. Hook theory seems like a very interesting tool especially with the help analyzing songs.
