INTRODUCTION
Welcome to my scrap book entitles Technology devices for overcoming the
limitations of sight and hearing . Humans have sight and hearing limitations . Limitations of sight can be overcome by using appropriate optical devices such as microscope . The range of frequency of hearing and human is from 20 Hz 20 000 Hz and it is different according to the age of the person . We can overcome hearing and sight limitations by using appropriate technological devices .
LIMITATION OF SIGHT
Sometimes the brain cannot accurately interpret what is actually seen by the eye . This limitation of the sense of sight is known as optical illusion ( confusion of the brain ) . The blind spot is point on the retina of the eye that cannot detect any images . The blind spot does not have any receptors sensitive to light and is found at the beginning of the optic nerve . We cannot see an object if its image is formed on the blind spot .
1- MICROSCOPE An instrument used to see objects that are too small for naked eye . The first microscope invented by Zacharias Janssen . Magnify small organism such as fungi , bacteria , virus and all others organism which cant be seen with naked eyes .
2- TELESCOPE A telescope is an instrument that aids in observation of remote objects by collecting electromagnetic radiation ( such as visible light ). The main function of the telescope is see far objects in the universe such as moon .
3- BINOCULAR Binoculars , field glasses or binocular telescopes are a pair of identical or mirror symmetrical telescopes mounted side-by-side and aligned to point accurately in the same direction , allowing the viewer to use both eyes ( binocular vision ) when viewing distant objects .
4- PERISCOPE A periscope is an instrument for observation from a concealted position . In its simplest form it consists of an outer case with mirrors at each and set parallel to each other at a 45 degree angle . More complex periscope , using prisms instead of mirrors and providing
magnification , operate on submarines .
5- ULTRASOUND MACHINE Ultrasound is an oscillating sound pressure wave with a frequency greater than the upper limit of the human hearing range .
Ultrasonics is the application of ultrasound . Ultrasound can be used for medical imaging , detection , measurement and cleaning .
6- MAGNIFYING GLASS A magnifying glass ( called a hard lens in laboratorycontexts ) is a convex lens is used to produce a magnified image of an object . The magnification of a magnifying glass depends upon where it is placed between the users eye and the object being viewed and the total distance between them .
LIMITATION OF HEARING
A person with normal sense of hearing can only detect sounds between 20 Hz and 20 000 Hz (hertz ) . Different people have different ranges of hearing . As we grow older , our range of hearing decreases . There is also a limit to how far our ear is able to hear sounds from a distance . We also cannot hear very soft sound like our heartbeat . The limitations of hearing can be overcome by using hearing aids .
1- MICROPHONE A microphone is an acoustic-to-eletric translucer or sensor that converts sound into an electrical signal . Microphones are used in many applications such as telephones , tape recorders , karaoke systems , hearing aids , motion picture production , live and recorded audio and engineering , FRS radios , megaphones , in radio and television broadcasting and in computers for recording voice , speech recognition , VolP and for non-acoustic purposes such as ultrasonic checking or knock sensors .
2- HEARING AIDS A hearing aid is an electroacoustic device which typically fits in or behind the wearers ear and is designed to amplify and modulate sound for the wearer . Similar devices include the bone anchored hearing aid and cochlear implant .
3- STETHOSCOPE The stethoscope is an acoustic medical device for auscultation or listening to the internal sounds of an animal or human body . It is often used to listen to lung and heart sounds .
4- LOUDSPEAKER A loudspeaker (or speaker ) is an electroacoustic transducer that produces sound in response to an electrical audio signal input . Non-electrical loudspeakers were developed as accessories to telephone systems , but electronic amplification by vacuum tube made loudspeakers more generally useful .
5- EARPHONE/ HEADPHONE
Headphones are a pair of small loudspeakers that are designed to be held in place close to a users ears . Headphones either have wires for connection to a signal source such as an audio amplifier , radio , CD player , portable media player or mobile phone , or have a wireless receiver , which is used to pick up signal without using a cable .
CONCLUSION
All humans have sight and hearing limitations . So , there are technology devices to overcome all the limitations . Thank you ....
