Watch Dr Barrett Reveal How Moving Ear Hairs Can Unlock the Secrets of Your Hearing!

Join Dr. Barrett from Hearing & Balance Doctors in this enlightening video as we delve into the intricate world of our inner ear, focusing on the tiny hair cells located within our cochlea. These cells are not just passive elements; they play a crucial role in how we actively perceive sound. Dr. Barrett explains the science behind how these outer hair cells move, expanding and contracting in response to sound waves, enhancing our ability to hear.
This video covers the innovative methods used to test the functionality of these hair cells, offering a glimpse into the techniques that measure their movement through otoacoustic emissions. By placing a probe in the ear canal and playing sound waves, we can indirectly measure the energy emitted back through the system, thus assessing the health and efficiency of our hearing mechanism.
Dr. Barrett will guide you through this fascinating process, showing how it allows for the evaluation of our hearing capabilities across different frequencies-low, medium, and high pitches. This quantitative, physiologic data is crucial for understanding the state of your auditory system before moving on to traditional behavioral hearing tests.
Whether you're a student, a professional in the field of audiology, or simply curious about how your hearing works, this video offers valuable insights into one of our most important sensory systems. Discover how we actively listen to the world around us and how professionals assess and address hearing issues even before you're asked to press a button or raise your hand in response to sounds in a sound booth.
