For those interested in computer demo's related to hearing here is one I have been using for about two semesters. I discovered the following software while looking for a way to simulate the hearing loss of my daughter but now I play various clips in class to demonstrate how different types of loss impact things like speech recognition. It is free from NIOSH but it's a big file and I think only available for the PC. http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/mining/products/product47.htm Doug _______________________________________________ Doug Peterson, Ph.D. Director of University Honors Associate Professor of Psychology The University of South Dakota 414 E.

I rediscovered this freeware program in an article in the most recent issue of Teaching of Psychology. Firment, M. J. (2006).

I can hear them all (but seriously, I'm 52- I must be hearing harmonics or distortion). :) Tim Shearon ============================================ Timothy O.

(See links in original message below.) Why? Because they differ in frequency. The 17KHz.wav is indeed 17Khz. The mosquito_sound_wave is 16Khz. The 2006010_Ringtone is a mere 15Khz. Btw, I have screen captures that show these frequencies for each sound if anyone's interested. --- To make changes to your subscription go to: http://acsun.frostburg.edu/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=tips&text_mode=0&lang=english --- To make changes to your subscription go to: http://acsun.frostburg.edu/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=tips&text_mode=0&lang=english
