How Do We Hear Underwater?

If we generally rely on airborne pressure waves to perceive sound, how do we hear underwater? The answer rests with “bone conduction,” which bypasses both the outer ear and the ossicles of the middle ear. Instead, sound comes through the mastoid, which is the bone that lies behind the ear. In some ways, bone conduction is better than air-conducted hearing in that it enables us to hear higher frequencies. While we can only hear between 20 and 20,000 hertz through the air, we can perceive up to 200,000 hertz when submerged underwater. Researchers may someday use this knowledge to improve hearing instrument design. Currently, bone-conduction hearing instruments are used by individuals with outer- and/or middle-ear abnormalities.

Studies have linked untreated hearing loss to emotional, physical, mental, psychological and even economic disadvantages. To make matters worse, there are many "myths" about hearing loss that prevent those with hearing loss from doing anything about it. To schedule a hearing exam, please call us! We service people of all ages who are interested in finding out more about hearing loss, either for themselves or for a family member. 

P.S. Humans hear best between about 500 to 3,000 hertz, which corresponds to the range of human speech.
