    Hi,

    Hardly. IF AS CLAIMED the resonance was the MAJOR contributing factor it the sensitivity would not change with loudness AND if you actually consider the resonance Q for such an acoustic resonance the "hump" would have to be much, much narrower.

    The explanation you linked is therefore clearly lacking in scope and no, the hearing cannot be modeled as simply as sucggested.

    So how do you explain the fact womens hearing is much better then mens in this range bub? Clearly it isnt due to resonance...

    There seem to be some correlation between the frequency range of an average womans voice and the supression of these frequencies in men... hmmm.

    Hi,

    Projecting your problems again?

    No, I cannot see, actually:

    [​IMG]

    For those, who unlike James can read charts (again, a lack of ability disturbing in a man professing the medical profession), we observe the "boost" to be around 8db @ 10db SPL and well over 12db at 100db. Plus the shape of the frequency response alteration changes significantly with SPL. Not the behaviour of a simple resonant system.

    QED.

    It is the classic behaviour of a nonlinear system in fact... coupled with further nonlinearity and optimisation at the neural level.

    Maybe it's cos they don't tend to buy £11K 350-watt studio monitor speakers that could deafen an ox at 100 paces...

    Hi,

    Nothing. Which is actually the point. A simple resonant tube does not behave the way the human hearing does. The ear canal does behave as simple resonant tube.

    Thus we must reject the hypothesis "Ear canal resonace = reason for human hearing sensitivity" as not sufficient to explained empirically observed facts.

    In other words, it's wrong, as are you.

    So is that the best mains cable for the ATC's? :rolleyes:

    Or is it just a massively off-topic pis*ing contest?

    Actually 1.6 kw 92 db/wm 126 db peak £25k studio active monitors ;)

    Thorsten is correct

    Its quite simple bub - the entire mechanism has evolved to be optimised for that frequency. More accurately it has co-evolved with our communication capabilities. Which explains why women have increased sensitivity to men - given they need to detect babies cries greater resources are dedicated to their hearing systems, none of which has anything to do with resonance ;)

    Hi,

    The same as everywhere else of course, one that offers low inductance and good noise rejection. Did you read my articles on the subject and the cited references?

    Well, exactly. All the better to deafen you with my dear... :D

    So female ears have more resonance in the midband bub? Oh come on try harder.

    are people really trying to tell a medical practitioner how to suck eggs on a medical matter?

    I think the cricketing term for all this is "sledging".

    It's the weather for it anyways.

    Hi,

    No, we are trying to illustrate his deliberate dissemination of information he knows (or should know) to be false, actually and the matter is actually strictly acoustical, not medical per se though it should be well known to a medical practitioner.

    Coming from a family with a lot of background in complimentary health it is my instinct to say I don't think doctors know anywhere near as much as we the public like to think they do. Doctors are not Gods ffs! The human race barely has a scraping knowledge of how the human being actually works.

    Anyway, is a doctor who does not specialise in ENT really trying to tell someone who has dedicated much of their life to all things audio and another who has specialised in speech recognition how human hearing works? Remember, the sensitivity issue is not just the physical ear itself.

    I really don't know, but it is a bit of fun to read!
