TED

it was interesting to know that there are two types of listening. reductive listening, which is usually common with men. and expansive listening, which women are said to do. i am a women, but i think i'm more of a reductive listening person! hahaha

i don't think i have NIHD, but i call myself "selectively deaf"! lol
but how would you know if you have NIHD..?
in the video, they mentioned ways to prevent from getting NIHD. and one of them (and supposed to be one of the best ways) was the WWB. Wind Water Birds. they said these sounds create harmony and peace and that protects your ears from getting NIHD. i found a iphone app which has all these nature, peaceful sounds and it might be a good idea to download that!

my sound environment isn't the best. these's a train track right next to our flat, so i guess that's constantly effecting my ears.
