Document Summary
Both of these involve some sort of sensory organ. Take a signal from the outside environment and turn it into something our brain can understand. Sound is composed of areas of compression and rarefaction. Sound needs a medium to transfer through, it cannot exist in a vacuum. The lowest sound we can hear is 4 decibels. A hockey game in a large arena is 130 decibels. Sound waves combine to form something we can interpret. They work the same way a jack works to lift a car. Works on a series of levels that amplify our own strength. They prevent damage from your own voice. He is reporting extreme hearing loss due to his concerts. One of his concerts can cause permanent damage. Violinist have different hearing loss in each ear. If you are a musician, take a 5 min break every hour. Watch the level of your own music.
