EAR EXPERIMENT

Hello peeps!

I know what I want to do. I've gotten over the eye and now interested in the ear. I'm going to this experiment where I use this hearing test and use it against a range of people of different ages and find out if age affects hearing. I did my research and found out that the approximate age of hearing loss is 60.

The independent variables are:
  • Person experimenting already has hearing problem
  • How well person can hear
  • Do they do anything that might contribute to hearing loss at an early age (e.g.listen to music loudly)
The dependent variables are:
  • How many people are needed
  • Instrument used
  • Certain Ages need
  • The settings of sounds used
Those are the only ones i can think of at the moment :). Fill up the rest later

Bye!!

Hello my peeps!!!!

Now I was really interested in the eye so I thought I'd do this experiment that came from...wait for it...BRITISH JOURNAL OF OPHTHALMOLOGY.

Yeah its terrifying reading such a huge experiment but afterwards it really cool. But the experiment is difficult to do and would require equipments that i don't have and neither can make and to be really honest can't be bothered doing so I have more searching that needs to be done:(

Now I must be off!
