2. Listener fatigue - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Listener_fatigue

   The stereocilia (hair cells) of the inner ear can become subjected to bending from loud noises. Because they are not regeneratable in humans, any major damage or loss of these hair cells leads to permanent hearing impairment and other hearing-related diseases. [2] Outer hair cells serve as acoustic amplifiers for stimulation of the inner hair ...

3. Hearing range - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hearing_range

   These hairs line the cochlea from base to apex, and the part stimulated and the intensity of stimulation gives an indication of the nature of the sound. Information gathered from the hair cells is sent via the auditory nerve for processing in the brain. The commonly stated range of human hearing is 20 to 20,000 Hz.

4. Auditory fatigue - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auditory_fatigue

   Note: The complete anatomy of the human ear is extensive, and can be divided into the inner ear and outer ear. The remainder of this article mainly references the cochlea, outer hair cells, and organ of Corti. In general, structural damages to any anatomical part of the human ear can cause hearing-related problems.

5. Health effects from noise - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_effects_from_noise

   Noise-induced threshold shifts are seen as a notch on an audiogram from 3000 to 6000 Hz, but most often at 4000 Hz. [16] Exposure to loud noises, either in a single traumatic experience or over time, can damage the auditory system and result in hearing loss and sometimes tinnitus as well. Traumatic noise exposure can happen at work (e.g., loud ...

6. Noise-induced hearing loss - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise-induced_hearing_loss

   Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) is a hearing impairment resulting from exposure to loud sound. People may have a loss of perception of a narrow range of frequencies or impaired perception of sound including sensitivity to sound or ringing in the ears . [ 1 ]

7. Loudness - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loudness

   Loudness, a subjective measure, is often confused with physical measures of sound strength such as sound pressure, sound pressure level (in decibels), sound intensity or sound power. Weighting filters such as A-weighting and LKFS attempt to compensate measurements to correspond to loudness as perceived by the typical human.

8. Stereocilia (inner ear) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereocilia_(inner_ear)

   Stereocilia (along with the entirety of the hair cell) in mammals can be damaged or destroyed by excessive loud noises, disease, medications, as well as toxins and are not regenerable. [3] [11] Environmental noise induced hearing impairment is probably the most prevalent noise health effect according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ...

9. List of unexplained sounds - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unexplained_sounds

   The name was given because the sound slowly decreases in frequency over about seven minutes. It was recorded using an autonomous hydrophone array. [8] The sound has been picked up several times each year since 1997. [9] One of the hypotheses on the origin of the sound is moving ice in Antarctica. Sound spectrograms of vibrations caused by ...
