Type: article
Abstract: Every day, you probably hear a lot of sounds: people chatting, instruments making music, bells ringing, and more. These sounds reach your ears through the air. However, when you talk, an important part of the sound is heard through your bones. This might surprise you, but in this article, we will tell you how to run an experiment that will hopefully convince you that this is true. So, be prepared to become a young scientist! You will also read about the structure of the ear and how you perceive voices and noise around you. This knowledge is important, as it can help scientists and doctors understand how to help people who have hearing problems.
