Sound Unit Introduction

Today we began our sound unit where I learned several things like how sound moves in waves, you can measure sound in decibels, and how sound reflects off of things. We also watched a video from the Today Show that was about combating hearing loss in today's world. Even though hearing loss has no cure, there are ways to slow down the process and prevent hearing loss. A thought that came up during the video was that my mom used to tell me to turn down the music in my headphones and during a ENT visit I was tested for hearing loss. It turned out that my hearing over the years of listening to music had NOT decreased. If anything, it had improved slightly.
