Tone deafness is the lack of relative pitch, or the inability to distinguish between musical notes that is not due to the lack of musical training or education. Tone deafness is also known variously as amusia, tune deafness, "tin ear", dysmelodia and dysmusia.
Yes, sound heard in one ear but not the other during bone and air conduction tests can indicate conduction deafness. In cases of conductive hearing loss, sound is often perceived differently between ears, particularly in bone conduction testing, where the affected ear may not transmit sound effectively. This asymmetry can suggest issues like earwax buildup, fluid in the middle ear, or structural problems. A comprehensive audiological evaluation is necessary to determine the underlying cause.
How can people protect themselves from very loud sounds?
People can protect themselves from very loud sounds either 1) by being somewhere other than where the sound is, or 2) by putting a sound barrier between themselves and the source of the sound.
Sound barriers can be
- something enclosing the source of the sound and absorbing it or preventing it from being transmitted,
- a large enough barrier between the sound source and the person that reflects or deflects the sound wave, or that absorbs the sound energy very efficiently,
- a barrier that surrounds the person, like a sound-proof booth, preventing the sound from reaching the person, or
- personal protective equipment like ear muff hearing protectors or ear plugs, that stop the sound from reaching the middle and inner ear.
Personal protective equipment is by far the least effective protection from loud sonds, but somethings must be used as a last resort when everything else has been placed and is not effective enough, or when the other methods cannot be applied for practical reasons.
Is there a social media so the deaf can meet the hearing?
The deaf and hard of hearing can easily use everyday social media to get in touch with deaf and non-deaf people, such as Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and Flickr.
However, there are some networks available which specialise for deaf people to meet other deaf or non-deaf individuals.
For example:
