Hearing Conservation Update for 2004
... • Our hearing gradually becomes less acute as we age. This is normal, and rarely leads to deafness. Age-related hearing loss (presbycusis) typically begins with the loss of higher frequencies, so that certain speech sounds - such as 's', 'f' and 't' - end up sounding very similar. This means the old ...

By having a talker wear a microphone approximately two to six inches from one’s mouth, one effectively reduces the distance between the talker’s mouth and the listener’s ears. Consequently, the speech signal increases in intensity by 15-20 decibels ...

Olivocochlear system
The olivocochlear system is a component of the auditory system involved with the descending control of the cochlea. Its nerve fibres, the olivocochlear bundle (OCB), form part of the vestibulocochlear nerve (VIIIth cranial nerve, also known as the auditory-vestibular nerve), and project from the superior olivary complex in the brainstem (pons) to the cochlea.
