THE PRINCIPLE OF HEARING RIGHT

What you hear, whom you hear, where you hear, determine where you will be heard- and what you will be heard saying.”
The principle of hearing right is classified aright by the bible. “Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing the word of God”, we read. From here, we can deduce:
-Faith in the word of God comes by hearing the word of God
-Faith in the word of man comes by hearing the word of man
-Faith comes by hearing faith-filled/faith-driven/faith-driving words
-Fear comes by hearing fear-driven/fear-driving words
Actually, the ears listen to what we read. If you cannot pronounce a word i.e your ears cannot process it, it doesn’t make much sense, even if you can read it!
Hearing affects our attitudes, and I sincerely wonder how the deaf function attitudinally. We shall get to that some other day.
The human ear has 3 parts:
Ø  The outer ear- consists of the pinna and external auditory meatus
Ø  The middle ear- made up of the ear ossicles: malleus, incus and stapes
Ø  The inner ear
THE OUTER EAR


Anatomically, the pinna is the part of the ear we can see. Yes, that big fan-shaped structure which varies in size and shape from person to person.
Functionally, this part of the ear:
Ø  Collects sound
Ø  Directs sound waves into middle ear
Let us assume this part of the ear is cut off, i.e to the average person, this individual has lost an ear…what happens?
This is what happens: the individual loses the ability to locate the source of sound.
In relation to our series, it can thus be stated that the outer ear is what helps locate the source of our hearing input. Without its hearing being appropriate, the information needed cannot be collected and thus, is non-conveyable to the heart.
The  Phenomenal Earpiece

Earpieces are plugged into the external auditory meatus- i.e the passage way to the eardrum, which is the inner part of the outer ear…the one you can look into.
When we put on earpieces, this is the sequence of events which results, typically:
Wearing earpiece→ concentration of sound from a particular source→ blockage of sound from other sources→ concentrated transduction of sound waves to middle, inner ears
Actually, the usage of earpieces is a way of controlling what we hear.
And we can focus on making that positively inclined.
MED FACT: Medically, it’s been discovered that a correlation exist between an earlobe crease and Coronary Artery Disease/ other cardiovascular diseases!
Thus, physically, the outer ear could serve as a marker for heart diseases.
However, this is not only limited to the physical: the outer ear is always functioning in collecting and funneling sound- so be watchful as to the sources and characteristics of the sound it funnels. HEAR RIGHT!
More on the middle ear’s function comes up next.
Thanks for reading!

LABOURING: IN THE PROCESS OF DREAM BIRTHING (2)

Labour/ birthing of dreams has three main phases, to view the 1st Stage and what it is correlated with, please check LABOURING: IN THE PROCESS OF DREAM BIRTHING . Thank you.

WANNABE INTERN

Week 2 Message to the Pre-Intern: don’t lose hope! Week 2, for me, was 2 months post-induction. This was when the wait began to sink in. You mean I’ve been home for two whole months? By now, I was literally chewing on my fingernails. Don’t get me wrong, I wasn’t scared of getting a space, but I certainly wasn’t confident about any place anymore. That is when I began to write this book. Today is the 12th of September and I sit at the dining table in my parents’ house, typing at 11:27pm (because well, I have an editing job to finish up, but mostly because I don’t have to go anywhere tomorrow morning). If I don’t want to, I don’t even have to take a bath tomorrow morning because well, I can stay indoors all day! (I most likely will stay indoors, except for those few minutes when I step out to buy hot akara for my akamu). I am spent. You know, I have applied to a couple of places now. Let me start with the first: LS Health Service Commission At the State Health servic...

SALIENT LESSONS FROM THE CORONARY ARTERIES The coronary arteries provide blood supply to the heart, the blood pump. Some of its duties are outlined and deductions are saliently made from them. 1.       REPLENISHMENT: The first lesson to take from the coronary artery is that it replenishes the heart. While performing the work of pumping blood to other tissues, the cardiac muscle is replenished by means of its 2 coronary arteries. 2.       DIRECTLY SOURCED: The coronary arteries, unsurprisingly, take origin from the aorta, the main artery leaving the left ventricle, carrying oxygenated blood to all branch arteries of the human body. Thus, it originates from the principal source of maximally oxygenated blood; this points to the fact that it reveres impartation and not opinions. 3.       PERFUSION: The coronary arteries ensure that blood gets to every part of the heart by means of its several branches. Branc...
