“Noise-cancelling headphones reduce unwanted ambient sounds (i.e., acoustic noise) by means of active noise control (ANC). Essentially, this involves using a microphone, placed near the ear, and electronic circuitry which generates an “antinoise” sound wave with the opposite polarity of the sound wave arriving at the microphone. This results in destructive interference, which cancels out the noise within the enclosed volume of the headphone.”
I can’t wear them. The thought of strange anti-noise frequencies makes my throat close. At first I thought I they would be kinda fancy but now that I know how they work they make me nauseous.
Actually everything about the ear terrifies me. The malleus, the stapes, and the incus. Gross. Oh and the cochlea! That one is definitely the scariest.
Also…I’m pretty sure all my hair cells are dying from an overdose of concert going.
Ears are so shivs!
