Rarefraction - Answers -✔✔ An area where the displaced particles in a medium are
spread out
Compression - Answers -✔✔ An area where the displaced particles are closer together
Elasticity - Answers -✔✔ A medium's tendency to resist change and return to its
original state
intensity of sound - Answers -✔✔ Perceived as loudness- related to the density of
compressions and amplitude of particle vibration
Frequency - Answers -✔✔ Perceived as pitch- the rate of compressions and
rarefactions per second (Hz)
Wavelength - Answers -✔✔ Distance covered by one complete cycle of a sound wave.
High frequency= short wavelength; low frequency = long wavelengths
noise cancelling - Answers -✔✔ Tones that are out of phase are used to cancel sounds
Baffle - Answers -✔✔ An obstacle to sound energy that can either absorb, reflect,
refract, or diffract the sound energy
,Reflection - Answers -✔✔ The bouncing back of a wave when it hits a surface through
which it cannot pass.
Absorption - Answers -✔✔ When sound energy is dissipated as heat
Sound shadow - Answers -✔✔ an area of reduced sound intensity around the ear
farther away from where a sound originates
Diffraction - Answers -✔✔ Scattering of energy around a baffle
Refraction - Answers -✔✔ When a sound is forces to change its direction of
propagation because of a change in speed as it passes through a baffle
0 dB HL - Answers -✔✔ Sound pressure level needed for the average person with
normal hearing to detect a test signal 50% of the time
Pitch - Answers -✔✔ A tone's experienced highness or lowness; depends on
frequency.

conductive and sensorineural problem in the same auditory system
, Sensorineural hearing loss - Answers -✔✔ A hearing impairment resulting from a
dysfunction somewhere within the inner ear, along the central auditory pathway, or
