Sound Intro and Hearing Loss

Sound travels in the form of waves. You can measure sound waves by frequency and amplitude. The shape of the room and how things are set up in the room affects the way the music is presented. You do not want a perfect rectangular room because waves will bounce back and forth crossing paths. The Today show episode showed how younger people are losing their hearing much more rapidly then elders have. We are losing it from all the music and events we go to. Hearing loud sounds affects your ears more then quieter sounds for a long period of time.
