The human voice has a wide frequency range.. The Frequencies of a human voice allways overlaps the frequencies of certain instruments.. http://www.futureproducers.com/forums/showthread/threadid/93153The human voice is a natural part of life that one must learn to adapt to .. Overtime.. It's a part of life as ears are made for the human voice... At a normal level of volume.. And even heard thru earplugs... If the human voice being heard was not created or made to be natural in nature and the frequencies of a voice.. could be enough to damage ones hearing for life... And as talking is a usual sound in ones environment and the world... Then a hyperacusis person who have been damaged by human voices... could never recover from that expirence again.. One that hyperacusis people expirence with family and friends and at work and thru music and life in general all the time.. So.. Is a human voice natural.... One that is natural to be heard and expirenced.. By the human ear... And as people aren't allways quiet or do talk around a hyperacusis person as a part of normal life.. Even whispers have a wide range of frequecies. Does listening to whispers from your family and friends and at work or in music totally destroy the human ear to recovery.. Why music therapy for hyperacusis people? Why sound machines?? Do not theses sounds carry a wide of frequencies at different levels of the sounds themselves.. Are people's ear's truely destroyed by the listening to human voice's.. Never to recovery again?? What is natural in nature... Are birds natural? What is the frequency range of a bird... And is that meant to be heard by a human ear.... Or can birds destroy ones hearing for life.. So what is natural about a human voice as voices are the base's of life.. And the sounds of life does not fit into a box...

I was wondering as I remember that someone with hyperacusis talked about useing ones voice to desensitize to.. For healing.. Maybe.. Even reading out loud which he talked about in the past.. Others talked about useing ones voice as well.. Does singing even starting out real soft while doing music therapy.. Building up to sounds.. Starting off low and building up help one handle voices again over time? Lots of hyperacustic people do learn to handle one's own voice as well as others over time.. Does voices truely destroy ones ear to hear over time though it may feel like it does.. Our own voice as well. Hearing our own voice bottled inside as we do more with earplugs in.. Does the desensitization program mean working with sounds your ears may not be totally able to handle, at the time and building up to them?? The voices and sounds you do not want to hear.. Why do we have to expose ourselves to sounds we do not want to hear? What if we don't like to hear our own voice.. What if we can't tolerate our own voice.. What do we do then ???? How does one build up to that ??? Is it possible ??? Is there a way ???? Inner Soulutions.. Health and Balance created with the sound frequencies and the inner authority of your voice... The personal frequency series... It is a customized Cd based on your voice tones or bioacoustic... Can ones one voice be healing? Can the voices of many be healing?? Is contact with our fellow humans healing??? The fellowship with human kind is thru ones voice.. Voices are a part of life.... Can we ever make peace with that again?. http://innersoulutions.org/Newsletter502/personal_frequency_series.htm

Voices seem to be a very hard one for hyperacustic people to tolerate.. The words that come out of people's mouths can feel harmfull to the hyperacustic ear.... No matter how low of a decibles in sound they may be ..... Even whispering can sound scratchy sharp high frequency multi hissing... As well as loud.. Both seem to go together with the hyperacustic ear.. Voices, People with hyperacusis seem to have more problems handleing a female voice.. And a child's voice... Then a male's voice. Though male voices are all different in style but some can have a bassy content as well.. Though .. Both can be just as hard.... even thou... It is hard for the hyperacustic ear too.. Desensitize oneself to a voice.. Voices can be very hard on ones ears... A high pitched voice, mostly contains high frequencies.. A low pitched voice, Low frequencies... A loud voice, a high amplitude signal... A soft voice, a low amplitude signal.... So much to deal with.... The sounds..... Contained... Within a human voice.... http://chapters.scte.org/newengland/reference/Telephony/topic05.htm

Hearing Loss & Fending Off The Sounds Of Silence. How Loud Is Loud ? Louder isn't Better.. Exposure to loud noise can permanently damage your ability to hear, particulary high - frequency sounds such as the consonants Sh, Ch, T, F, H, and S which are frequently used in conversation... Plus hyperacusis and tinnitus is allso talked about in that site.. Interesting persepective from someone in the military. http://www.mothernature.com/Library/bookshelf/Books/44/34.cfm

The Physics Classroom... When a meter stick or pencil is dropped on the floor , it vibrates with a number of frequecies producing a complex sound wave which is clanky and noisy... All objects have a natural frequency or set of frequencies at which they vibrate.... Nearly all objects, when hit or struck or plucked or strummed or somehow disturbed, will vibrate. http://www.physicsclassroom.com/Class/sound/U11L4a.html For example, any two sounds whose frequencies make a 2:1 ratio are said to be separated by an octave and result in a particularly pleasing sensation when heard; that is, two sound waves sound good when played together if one sound has twice the frequency of the other. http://www.physicsclassroom.com/Class/sound/u11l2a.html#range

The Sound Of Water.... When water falls from up high and hits a pool of water straight on, "it makes sounds (like) you're urinating. If you break up that flow by having stones, pebbles or shells it will diffuse the water more and create a gentler sound," Mannion said. Water sounds are considered high-frequency nature sounds that are popular with these practitioners. In addition, fountains produce a "white noise" effect, helping the listener block out the chaos of everyday life. By forcing out inharmonious background noises, the relaxation fountain creates an atmosphere that renews focus and concentration. Although there is an endless variety of relaxing sounds to choose from, at least half of the sounds employed on machines tend to be water sounds, such as rainfall, ocean waves and mountain streams. http://www.mwdh2o.com/Aqueduct/dec2001/sound.htmSound Masking..

The Noise Factor..... "The human vocal chords are a very good noise generator," said Elliott Berger, a senior scientist in auditory research for Indianapolis-based Aearo Technologies and an adjunct professor at Indiana University, Bloomington, in audiology and occupational hearing loss. "Certainly, anybody who's been in a room with a screaming child knows that. ..." http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/06015/638144.stm

This is an interesting site... ((( Smiles ))) Way out there but so into research.. On frequencies .. While it is a true general statement that the frequency of the human voice is about 300 to 3000 Hz, this statement is generalized, over-simplified, and not entirely accurate. In fact, the human voice ranges from 20 Hz to about 14,000 Hz. Here are some more specific facts regarding frequency range of the human voice: http://www.paranormalghost.com/evp_frequency_ranges.htmThey are really into frequencies on this site... The even got down the hearing of a bat... Bat Hearing Frequency Range - about 2,000-120,000 Hz Squeal of Bats - about 20,000 Hz And a screaming baby.. If human ears are not meant to hear or deal with this kind of noise ?? Then why are babies and children given naturally... In nature the capability to be so loud.. If it was not totally and humanly a naturally thing for ears to hear ?? What goes wrong when our ears give out... While other's who have had 6 or 10 children and.. come from huge familys of loud screaming children and babies and.. Don't get hyperacusis disorder ever or maybe never comeing down with tinnitus... What about that ????? How many fequencies are contained within that noise that the human ear has to deal with.... And cope with... Naturally in nature ???? Screaming Baby - 115 dB
