Hearing 
HEARING
the street was a late morning of late spring in an English city. A man was walking slowly along a street in a suburb without a known destination in advance. He felt himself on the air still pungent waiting for a summer that lingered, and perhaps would not have been hot. Around and the scent of buds, flowers, small gardens of houses that, in spite of their diversity for attempted by those who lived there, all seemed too gray and dull. These homes
no claim had been there when the country, with banks, ships, the industry had dominated the world, and brought to the city men and women who, while still poor, had made it big in England with their work . Birth and death love, joy and suffering of generations had passed along those streets so similar, such as long hours as the man was moving slowly. Sa
not in a hurry because on that day of freedom, you can guess the jeans are worn, not waiting for some accounting work in the Insurance, located in the business district, which still retains the name when England was so strong in the world. Something that job was changed, however, since his colleagues in the past used large logs bound, and plenty of ink of different colors.
It was felt most fortunate because today could use a computer to take care of business data. That computer let him also, when falling into boredom or idleness, and was not seen by prying eyes and malevolent, to be able to access the Internet and in some way to travel around the world. Moreover, the language that allowed him to talk about a wide horizon. Was for him a way to travel across seas and distant ports actually staying at home.
It was not his creative work, at least in the current mode in which an artist sees creativity, and certainly had never loved to compete for a career, or progress, or gain further as his colleagues were more accustomed to thinking and acting.
This attitude, preserved forever, for he has an advantage, namely its ability to separate, almost like a cutting knife, the work time required by the group's contribution to human life, and the time allocated to the hidden part of himself, known by a few close friends, which included poetry, imagination, dreams, even those who do not never realized, the very things that our colleagues, and known as the world most common, are generally not considered.
Poetry for him was not necessarily the one written with words, but any work, whether of matter, which had tried to take his life. He remembers that for centuries the women of the nomadic Anatolian kilim in which they had built with the colors derived from nature wove wool and figures showing the daily life in its cycle of becoming. This seemed to be always true poetry.
The man continues on his way carefully and floating mind, they enter the different signs of life, parents now gone, the people of meaning, dreams never fully completed, the teens and anxiety as inseparable companions of life, the sadness of Sunday, the implacable loneliness, the desire for impractical and absurd that period of his life to be able to know everything about the worlds of the past and present projects, loves lost forever, the possibilities never carried out. He realizes that some woman wanted to know more, but now was no longer possible, while others do not know anything for some time now.
He walked so for some time looking inward, away from the deserted street when he thought he heard a sound of pleasant music and unusual. Wonder why the first test seems unusual in that circumstance, but before proceeding accompanied by pictures of his soul, the music becomes more defined, harmonious, ethereal, almost a world unknown, a stranger to the road apparently so common. They seemed almost to be two separate realities, the newspaper via the imagination of a myth and distant place.
As you went on the physicality of the sound was growing. It seemed the music of a piano, but was so weak, sweet and harmonious to be confused with the sound of a flute or a violin, light and thin as it was. A more common definition would be considered angelic. A melody that those who practice certain long meditations come from the East know the intimate inner person.
He also knew that some people in other parts of the world were able to speak and communicate with the trees, and even listen to the flow of their sap, and life blood of plants, such as musical harmony. Prerogative entirely lost by the men who live in this part of the world where, talking to trees, unfortunately they run the risk of being considered as subjects of psychiatry, and inappropriately treated as such.
But as you go, along with the memories of life, the memories come to mind also relevant to what he knew from the readings of which he had always been greedy, like the ancient greek philosopher who was well understood by the close relationship between music and mathematics, but also the memory of Homer when Ulysses, while wandering on the sea in search of a route for the return, was forced to be tied, fascinates as it was the song of the sirens, so that the nostalgia for the land was not weakened or destroyed by that song to be feminine.
But it also reminds of another Ulysses, in the figure of Leon Bloom, so similar to Homer, and is making a one-day trip through the streets of Dublin. He feels like him because he is going to end in a gray city letting go with the flow of his consciousness and feelings. He also says to himself that he too is experiencing a daydreaming, indulge in a free thoughts, memories, which are mixed as in the rainbow colors of life, past and present emotions.
This mixture of feelings and memories make it attracted to the melody that slowly is getting closer and sharper. He realizes also that the melody is taking shape in his mind almost a metaphor or a symbol of life, particularly his own, under a system of interconnected events that make humanity present, past and future. Think of it that sound like heavenly words that bothered, yes, come from the poem.
the end stops right next to the door that opened onto a small landscaped garden, with roses and other flowers that, by his lack of knowledge on the green, he knew well take root in the earth. The gaze more directly to the door and suddenly realizes that it is just ajar, without understanding why. He approached the door ed'istinto tried to enter, but stopped immediately from the education received by the mother that keeps him from breaking into a house not accepted. He stops at the door for more than a minute, who lives in reality as eternal, not knowing what to do. The sweetness of the sound he continued freely.
His rational side certainly can not stand the idea of \u200b\u200bentering and trespassing, but just as strong, and in that part of the emotional and curiosity, that in life he had never abandoned, to know more than the melody is hearing. Prevails in the end the emotional and enter without delay.
It is located opposite a staircase leading to second floor, but the harmony is certainly coming from a further input to the bottom of a narrow corridor on the ground floor to which he does not hesitate to go. Also this door is ajar, but this is not surprising that much, and definitely enter.
will quickly realize that the person making the music is a young woman, no longer a teenager, all taken by this instrument, not even noticing that someone has entered. The man proceeds more confident and is approaching its leverage when the head and seeing the stranger is not afraid at all, instead expressing a smile as if in reality it was a person well known, which finally assured the ' man who at that point did not feel an intruder.
The woman wears a long gown, sexy, rich colors and flowers that recalled the kindness of oriental silks, worn, lead to watching him smile. In the gloom appears thin and delicate, almost translucent, a face that seems to tell a painful end life story, blond hair, a blond ash. When some moment before he raised his head his eyes were a piercing blue appeared, bright, almost sharp. Think also take almost carnal sensuality, but not provocative, apparently in contrast to the thinness of the body, and suggests instead a deep and painful spirituality, manifested by the fact that instrument and melody.
She starts to play with dedication obtaining those reasons which led it to divert the path. The seem to catch the eye with a deep passion and unusual in that woman as if she were a single instrument and inseparable entity. At that point you leave to go to that situation that is becoming familiar, as if it had always known and which can not and does not want to ignore.
Reassured, he feels within himself that daydreaming is interrupted by a concern for the transgressions, is recovering. On the other hand, how could it not happen in that situation. The sweetness of the melody this time awakens the memories really that far away for years had not gone back to mind. The earliest images of children with parental figures and other adults who seemed so enormously large, in a place surrounded by hills, trees, blue skies in winter. It seemed that they were a faint image that comes together with increasing sharpness.
Those melodic tone made him see his life with a clarity than ever before, as if time is condensed into something unique. Emotions and memories that have animated his mind before entering the house are now becoming clear and defined as if they were chapters in a book. It 'an intimate feeling, not easy to explain with words in a dictionary, but feels very immediate and near. That music, he realizes, is becoming a catalyst of the infinity of moments of his life that have brought a sense, however, difficult to communicate with the actual words.
That woman with those harmonies and his ability to create sounds from the instrument was giving him the rare opportunity to be in the continuity of his life, as an image complete in itself, just as happens sometimes to see in the forms of nature, which appear here by the origin of the world, although in the ages to subject their end.
It seemed also to see on the front of one of the scores in front of her as Pauline, and then consequently imagined it could be her name. If this was true, he thought that this was the only thing I knew this woman, along with his extraordinary ability to get him to evoke the essence of his life.
also feel a deep bond with this woman as if they were suddenly condensed all the bonds of his life in a single pool of cells which in turn give rise to any form of life. They spent moments of infinite time. In that situation the truth, which was slowly building up inside him, he feels at once a subtle fear of an unknown world, a tremor indefinable never tried before, but contains an unusual pleasure, almost a pleasure. Oddly
noticed that his daydreaming was fading, we could not give a plausible explanation of what happened. It was as if he felt that the fear of an unknowable world was disappearing, seeing to enter unexplored dimension of total awareness never before, in which his life and that of others appeared in a clarity never defined until now, in links and contingencies. He felt that he no longer belongs in that country to the city, that neighborhood on that street, that house on that music, which now seemed almost entirely lost. The
nonetheless seemed to have brought the essence of the woman's chance encounter took place in that suburban district, in the morning no definite spring in his days of freedom from everyday life. He also realized that this was a situation of no return that would last forever.
STORY Rodolfo Paguni
DEFINITION OF SOUND: "disruption of a wave, sound waves, vibrations, propagating in elastic media such as air, water, etc.. "
These waves are characterized by:
(1) high, given the frequency of vibration, measured in cycles per second, expressed in Hertz. The higher the frequency and the sound is sharper, and vice versa. The range of frequencies at which a sound can be perceived by humans is between 15 and 20000Herz, which varies with age.
(2) intensity, determined by the extent of vibration measured in decibels. The larger the stronger the vibration and sound, as a volume.
(3) stamp, determined by the number and intensity of harmonic stimuli that overlap the fundamental frequency.
AUDIBLE 'is related to frequency and intensity. A comfortable audibility is located about 60 dB as the level of the voice conversation.
An intensity of 120 dB, such as is the sound of a jackhammer, is the maximum bearable intensity, beyond which there is a feeling of suffering, which is why it is called a pain threshold.
impedance is the resistance that the eardrum-ossicular system opposes the passage of the acoustic wave from a low impedance half plane in a liquid medium to high impedance.
drugs ototoxic drugs that can cause loss or hearing disorders are: aminoglycosides, beta-blockers, CAF, dihydrostreptomycin, imipramine, quinine, streptomycin, tricyclic antidepressants, ASA, chlorhexidine, furoseide, minoxidil, naproxen, neomycin also topical, oral vaccine against polio.
It is very common use of drugs and then once again come to the conclusion that a drug should be taken to a pathology of some importance and not pr trivial reasons (as is done today) exposed to the risk of hearing loss in this case.
For example, a girl with menstrual pain, if you take ibuprofen for 5 days a month every month, you are exposing this danger, when in fact there are holistic care or in the worst assumptions, knowing that it is a physiological disorder, it would be preferable to keep the discomfort and not assume anything.
drugs that can cause tinnitus are: salicylates, aminoglcosidi, ac estacrinico, furosemide, alcohol, nicotine, quinidine, quinine, diazoxide, diflunisal, ibuprofen, indomethacin, lidocaine, local anesthetics, naproxen, piroxicam, tricyclic antidepressants.
ototoxic drugs in general are: aminoglycosides, quinine, quinidine, salicylates, loop diuretics, chloroquine, cytostatics, vancomycin. The effects of salicylates are reversible after discontinuation of therapy.
Ear The inner ear is located inside the skull and contains the organs receiving the acoustic stimulus and the concept location on the body in space that is those complex parts where it comes
acoustic-vestibular nerve.
The middle ear is a kind of antechamber of the inner ear where we find the internal auditory canal hammer and anvil and stirrup Eustachian tubes which communicate with the cable ear and throat can be the stagnation of phlegm.
The outer ear is what we all see, consists of the pavilion and the external ear canal.

DEAFNESS 'SUDDEN
It means a perceptive deafness, usually unilateral, of varying severity, onset so sudden. The term implies that the perceptual cochlear damage and / or ganglion and / or the acoustic nerve. The most common viral etiology. E 'likely that the virus does not necessarily adversely affect the inner ear as neurotropic or neurolytic, but also, or only, resulting in acute vascular insufficiency of the cochlear microcirculation to swelling of endothelial cells lining the capillary walls and / or stacking corpuscular. The patient reported that suddenly became deaf in one ear, he often warns deaf ear, a sense of fullness and tinnitus, sometimes complains dizziness, usually subjective, mild, rarely roundabouts, severe. The differential diagnosis is intended to discriminate in the case of sudden deafness or otosalpingite or serous otitis media. A sudden deafness due to one of these causes can manifest it in an equally sharp and with the same symptoms. The pain is often absent, and if this button, then it is to think of purulent otitis. The first important fact to note is if the deafness is unilateral or bi-lateral sudden deafness is almost always one-sided, while otitis media serosa otosalpingite are almost always bilateral. The second finding is whether or not there is vertigo. The sudden deafness may be accompanied by vertigo, while the other two diseases are not accompanied by vertigo ever. The third figure is whether the deafness is perceptive or transmission: the perceptive deafness means, as opposed to broadcasting, disacusia: the patient with sudden deafness hearing will have no gain if you talk to strong emission of voice in the ear deaf patient with otosalpingite or serous otitis media, by contrast, will gain a better hearing. Another feature of patients with sudden deafness (if the latter, as is most often the case, both cochlear and does not result in deafness anacusia IOE total) is the discomfort of high intensity noise. The subject with the other two conditions, if you talk to strong profit hearing and instead will not complain about discomfort. Early diagnosis is of great importance. Sudden deafness requires immediate treatment to be carried out preferably in a hospital. Thinners are prescribed, vasoactive, anti-disreattivi in \u200b\u200bmassive doses.
A progressive loss of hearing acuity in the elderly may be due to atherosclerosis or arthritis of the bones of sound transmission. A sudden hearing loss may be due to an injury to the eardrum, a plug of earwax, a foreign body in ear canal, external otitis with severe or serious otitis of the middle ear which followed an inappropriate drug treatment: of course you should always consult a doctor.
HOLISTIC VISION REHABILITATION OF SOUND PERCEPTION
Method Eers Guy Bérard
audiology
The Classic is an overall schematic of deafness limited to the amount of hearing. But in reality what happens to a person immersed from birth in a constant bath of acoustic stimuli? In such conditions, the auditory information reach the brain after crossing the outer ear, middle, and finally inside? What changes and modifications are subjected to such information during this process? An answer to these questions may be provided by audiometric testing very accurate and geared towards this search. Why is it important to know the perceptual quality of a person? Because there is a nearly constant relationship between auditory anomalies, though minimal, and some of our behaviors. The analysis of these anomalies and the comparative study of medical records of his patients have allowed Bérard to codify these correlations, identifying scope, then a very precise, because the improvement of hearing problems, or their healing, he had resolved, in most cases, significant behavioral problems.
anomalies to look for are:
(1) distortions. These are caused by variations of intensity with which you perceive the different frequencies. During a listening test of the acoustic signals are sent, each corresponding to frequencies with a certain intensity, expressed in decibels dB. The minimum intensity of perception is the auditory threshold of a orecchio.Un normal hearing is when the hearing threshold is consistent for each frequency, resulting in a chart on your ears to a horizontal solid line.
On the contrary, if the ear does not perceive all frequencies in succession, with uniform intensity, we heard a sound message with distortions more or less pronounced, but always liable to disturb the proper receipt, which shows, on the same graph, with a broken line.
(2) Lack of selectivity is accused when the ear fails to select progressive sounds, distinguishing between serious and acute.
(3) left lateral or alternate, usually the control of word and sound is via the right ear, which transmits messages directly ssinistro hemisphere of the brain, where there is also the center of the decoding of auditory information. This path is normally done with a speed of 20 hundredths of a second. The predominant use of the left ear stretch the location information, which will land first in the center of the right hemisphere plays, then to reach the left hemisphere, deputy natural to decoding. Everything will slow down the process of perception, with latency between 4 and 40 hundredths of a second. It seems that the mechanism of stuttering is related to these delays.
These and other changes in quality are often hidden causes of many problems in learning in general and in particular: Dyslexia, difficulty in learning foreign languages \u200b\u200band music, ear pain in children with autism, a distortion of a particular type of depression. In particular, the autistic syndrome is associated in a hearing to constant pain and improvement in behavior occurs when you get tolerance to aggression scores.
regard a particular type of depression has been noted that in this case, the ear is to the left site of the lesion, which can be explained by the relationship that binds him to the right hemisphere of the brain, the seat of so-called "negative emotions ".
EERS The method makes use of sounds devoid of psychological significance, alternating in a personalized way for the patient to correct the distortions previously emerged in a special test.
Other important method, which takes care of the ear, but especially the psycho-emotional state of the subject and many other diseases, is the method Tomatiss. All therapy is carried out for 10-20 consecutive days.
The tinnitus buzzing or ringing, or tinnitus, vengno defined as perceived sound by a subject without there being an external source, and only in some cases represent a real buzz symptom associated or not with a hearing loss.
The severity of tinnitus symptoms can be extremely variable and is influenced by the attitude of the patient's psychological. In some cases it is well tolerated and the person learns to live with it, in other cases it may disturb and disrupt the subject's personality: he becomes nervous, irritable, impatient.
tinnitus can be distinguished in:
(1) objective, that is noise emitted from the ear, which are also collected by an observer. They are extremely rare. The origin is muscular or vascular. Those are due to muscle spasms of the muscles of the middle ear or peritubarici or masticatory muscles. Those vascular arterial or venous origin. They can be a symptom of a vascular malformation, an atherosclerotic stenosis, an aneurysm or carotid atherosclerotic vein, a jugular glomus tumor. The sound of breath is synchronized with the pulse, you can feel it with a stethoscope. The hearing is normal.
(2) subjective, that is just noise perceived by the patient. They are a symptom of many diseases of the ear, external ear, middle ear, the central auditory pathways. As for the outer ear, an obstruction of the external ear canal, such as a plug of earwax may result in a feeling of earplug and tinnitus, this will be inconsistent and disappear when you remove the cause of the cap.
As for the middle ear: inflammatory processes in acute and chronic middle ear the humming are rarely a sign of relief. The incidence of subjective symptoms is much higher in deafness due to otosclerosis, in which the tinnitus is sometimes the first and most important symptom. The onset of tinnitus purely subjective in otosclerosis transmission is linked to an alteration of the adaptation of the auditory system to acoustic condition created by the blockade of ossicular chain. You create that is the same situation as a normal subject in a silent place. The surgery to stapediectomia, restoring normal hearing, determines the disappearance of tinnitus. In cases where the transmission component is associated with a labyrinthine damage, the stapediectomia, while enhancing the auditory threshold, does not lead to disappearance of tinnitus.
Needless to say, are deeply opposed to such a surgery!
Inner ear: the acoustic trauma is a major cause of outbreaks of tinnitus. THE PROBLEM MAY BE MORE 'IMPORTANT, SOMETIMES PUTTING IN THE SECOND FLOOR HEARING DAMAGE. SAME AND 'THE FINDING OF FREQUENT BAROTRAUMATISMI OR AFTER tinnitus after head trauma. Less frequent is the incidence of Ringing in DEAFNESS 'ON A TOXIC, eg streptomycin.
tinnitus in Meniere's disease is characterized dall'idrope endolymphatic and then the nature of low pitch, the sound of waterfall or ear fullness. Typically appears in close relation with the crisis of vertigo and fluctuating hearing. In advanced disease, when he took over permanent damage of the neuroepithelium, tinnitus takes on shades becomes more acute and almost continuous, with no relation to the dizzy accessional crisis.
In neuromas VIII, tinnitus is often in forms that begin acutely with sudden deafness: bearing in mind that the neuroma neurilemma originates from the vestibular branch, of course think that the sudden onset of deafness and tinnitus is due to compression of the internal auditory labyrinth and then to the damage.
With regard to central auditory pathways: syndromes in vertebrobasilar insufficiency, the dominant symptom is vertigo, usually positional, sometimes roundabout. But symptoms often are associated hearing and tinnitus. The latter may also take accessional character and sometimes positional, and generally are not annoying. Most often the tinnitus is not related to the ear but in the middle of the head. There is close relationship between severity of hearing loss (presbycusis type) and tinnitus.
Power-supplements Eliminate the cause, if known. Making a cleansing diet, then the staple diet. Treat any existing anemia: lack of Fe and pernicious anemia may also have symptoms of tinnitus.
simple sugars can cause hum and even hearing loss, if there is a condition of hypoglycemia. Nutrients That Help
Vit B12, FOLIC AC, CR, Mn, Colin. Therefore recommend the following juices: BEET
for its powerful detoxifying, kale, and parsley for Fe;
spinach, kale, E, COSTE and green peppers for the purchase folic acid;
green peppers and apples for Chromium;
spinach turnip greens, Cost per Manganese; Green Beans for choline.
In 2005 he was made a study to determine whether administration of melatonin is able to cure tinnitus and whether or not this improvement is related to improved sleep. As a result there was a relationship between the magnitude of the improvements in sleep and tinnitus. The effect melatonin was not associated with the size of the tinnitus. Treatment with melatonin may be safe for patients with idiopathic tinnitus, especially in those with sleep disturbance due to tinnitus. Obviously, we need further study, since the study was performed on only 24 subjects.
