Signia Hearing Aids 

Signia hearing aids are made by the Siemen’s company, which a is a well-known German company for its hearing aid division and is currently one of the largest hearing aid manufactures worldwide. Signia hearing aids are differently manufactured from regular hearing aids, and are more advanced in sound quality and making it easier to be able to adjust and fix their quality. Signia launched a new brand platform called Nx which has several new features that comes in three new levels of technology; the Nx7, the Nx5, and the Nx3. 

 The brain and ears of an animal or human are the two crucial things that go into having proper hearing.  Ears have complex pathways that will capture, process and transmit sound to the brain. The outer ear of an animal or human helps funnel sounds into the ear canal, until that sound reaches the eardrum. Those sound waves will cause the eardrum to start to vibrate, and then the vibrations are sent to the ossicles, which amplify the vibrations and pass them to the inner ear. Afterwards when the vibrations reach the cochlea, tiny hair cells that are mostly known as stereocilia start to react and transmit sound vibrations into electrical signals that are captured by the auditory nerve; after that the
brain takes over and that when the magic of hearing really kicks in.

Signia hearing aids come with a built in OVP or Own Vioce Processing which is the first device to produce the user’s own voice differently from other sounds or people’s voices. The company has its own separate processor on the platform to facilitate that, and they say it will increase the acceptance of the user’s own voice. For new hearing aid users the sound quality of their own voice can seem off-putting and they usually just learn to live with it, which doesn’t mean they like it. The system tries to deal with that problem by completely removing auditory occlusion so that the user is not aware of their own voice in the usual way they would be when wearing hearing aids. Each hearing aid softens loud sounds like a plate shattering so it wouldn’t seem as loud as it normally would be, and depending on which hearing aid you have like a Binax Nx results in the number of qualities that come with it.
I think that Signia’s hearing aids really show the advancement of technology we are capable to of creating in the twenty first century, and how we can use that to help people. The amount of time and research it would have taken to create these almost perfect hearing aids amazes me that we are actually capable to do that, hopefully in the near future we can accomplish more.

Chemically termolecular reactions: The fourth class of chemical reactions

Chemically termolecular reactions: The fourth class of chemical reactions Maisy Chase Up until now only three classes of chemical reactions were known. Unimolecular reactions occur when one reactant undergoes bond breaking or forming to create different products. Bimolecular reactions are where two reactants collide and then undergo bond breaking or forming. Termolecular association reactions, where two reactants collide to form a whole with a new chemical bond between the two reactants. A third molecule, known as the bath gas, then removes some of the internal kinetic energy of that molecule to stabilize it. Researchers from Columbia University , led by Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering Michael P. Burke, have discovered a fourth class of chemical reaction known as “chemically termolecular reactions.” This involves the breaking and bonding of three molecules. The team showed that these chemically termolecular reactions not only are major chemical pathways but also ...

Mahar-ullah Shahminah- Molecular Gastronomy

Molecular Gastronomy   By: Shahminah Mahar-ullah Date:3/22/19 Molecular Gastronomy is both a fusion of science and cooking. The scientific discipline gives the chef complete control of what the texture, taste, and physical appearance of the dish. Molecular Gastronomy is a modern unique style of cooking that some would say it could be considered art. There are three aspects of Molecular Gastronomy, as i said before it is texture,taste,and physical appearance. Molecular Gastronomy can have a very simple and familiar taste or a new and unique taste. Taste is often a aspect that is forgotten about in Molecular Gastronomy. Mostly because people who don't know much about the style of cooking kinda forget that its actually cooking ,not just some form a science. Taste is the main focus with cooking in general and with molecular cooking taste can be brought to a whole new level since you have complete control over each part of the dish. Same goes for physical appearance and ...

Force and Motion

Zach Fluck Science blog Force and Motion Blog Sir Isaac Newton was an English astronomer, physicist, and mathematician, born on December 25, 1642. He died on March 20, 1727, most likely from mercury poisoning or old age. However, during his life, he made several contributions to modern science and advanced our understanding of physics tremendously. Arguably his most famous discovery was gravity. However, he had to use his 3 laws of motion to make this accomplishment. Newton understood that an object at rest will stay at rest, unless acted on by unbalanced forces. Therefore, if an object such as an apple is in a resting position there must be a force to make the apple fall to the ground. He discovered this invisible force to be gravity. At a young age Newton was removed from school to be a farmhand. Despite returning to school the turning point in his live was he left his hometown to attend Cambridge University. After attending Cambridge he returned to his hometown where his observat...
