Explore the process of hearing, from the collection of sound waves by our ears to the interpretation by our brain. The video discusses the ear's structure, including the outer, middle, and inner ear components like the cochlea and...

Almost every second of the day you are surrounded by sounds. Through easy-to-understand examples, this program helps students grasp how sounds are formed andhow sound travels. Special attention is given to the different characteristics...

Miss Palomine reviews the concept of common letter sounds. She and the student then look and listen for common letter sounds in a few sentences Miss Palomine uses as examples.

Three things to keep in mind while learning the TH sound: 1) tongue tip between teeth, 2) TH is gentle, 3) Keep tongue low.

If you're not hearing impaired, you may wonder what it's like to wear a cochlear implant—what does it actually sound like? Unlike what you may think, cochlear implants don't generate sound like a hearing aid would. Instead, they actually...

Sound design is built on deception -- when you watch a movie or TV show, nearly all of the sounds you hear are fake. In this audio-rich talk, Tasos Frantzolas explores the role of sound in storytelling and demonstrates just how easily...

After a concert, you find it difficult to hear your friend rave about the show. It sounds like they're speaking from across the room, and it's tough to make out their voice over the ringing in your ears. But, by the next morning, the...

Even if a volcano is just a few miles away, you might not hear it erupt. How is that possible? It has to do with a phenomenon known as sound shadows! Hank will tell you all about it in this new episode of SciShow! Join us!

Crash Course A&P continues the journey through sensory systems with a look at how your sense of hearing works. We follow sounds as they work there way into the ear where they are registered and transformed into action potentials....

Cochlear implants don't generate sound like a hearing aid would. Instead, they zap your cochlea.

Squeaks is heading on a trip around the world! He's going to hear so many cool sounds, and wants Jessi to experience them, too. In this episode, he learns about how humans (and a couple of other animal guests) hear.

Take it from an expert: It’s weird to hear how your voice really sounds. But why does it sound different to you than everyone else. Hank explains -- in a deep, resonant voice.

The world is always abuzz with sounds, many of which human ears simply can’t hear. However, other species have extraordinary adaptations that grant them access to realms of sonic extremes. And some of them don’t even have ears— at least,...

Sound can't actually travel through a vacuum like space, but scientists have learned that there's still plenty to hear.

What is the loudest possible sound? What about the quietest thing we can hear? And what do decibels measure, anyway? In this video you'll learn what makes sound

Have you ever put a seashell up to your ear and heard a roaring sound the sounds sort of like the ocean? Is it magic? No! It's science! Jessi and Squeaks explain what's up!

The ability to recognize sounds and identify their location is possible thanks to the auditory system. That's comprised of two main parts: the ear, and the brain. The ear's task is to convert sound energy into neural signals; the brain's...

Have you ever wondered how your ears work? In this delightful and fascinating talk, biophysicist Jim Hudspeth demonstrates the wonderfully simple yet astonishingly powerful mechanics of hair cells, the microscopic powerhouses that make...

If you’ve ever looked at a frog’s head, you might have noticed that they don’t have external ears. So How do they hear?

Your brain relies a lot on context to tell you what sounds are bouncing around in your ears, and without enough of that context it can get a little confused.

Artist-technologist Honor Harger listens to the weird and wonderful noises of stars and planets and pulsars. In her work, she tracks the radio waves emitted by ancient celestial objects and turns them into sound, including "the oldest...

If a tree falls in space, and it's frequency is modulated by multiple octaves and digitized, does it make a sound?

Squeaks and Mister Brown learn all about echolocation, and how animals use it to sense things! First Grade Next Generation Science Standards Crosscutting Concept: Structure and Function: The way an object is shaped or structured...
