Episode 19: The Neuroscience of your Ears and Super Loud Rock Concerts
Welcome back!
This week, I want to talk about your ears and how going to super loud concerts can impact your ability to hear. You might be thinking wait - ears aren’t brains. But the way we process sound in our ears is a part of the peripheral nervous system so I say close enough!
Come and listen to learn a little bit more about your auditory system, your peripheral nervous system, hair cells, and the absolutely insane feat of biological engineering that allows for sound to go from your surroundings to your brain.
