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!

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...

#MONDAY’S PROSE THIS CHILD; ON THE ROAD

Through my myopic eyes, a fleeting image of a little boy is formed on my retina A little boy in a little suit, Treading the familiar bushy routes before him The boy had neither escort nor directives And surely, he needed none For a 4 yr old on the road possesses more maturity than a 10 year old in ‘comfort’ Swiftly, she navigated through cars held in traffic An adventurous smile tugging at her split lips Providing snacks for impatient car-owners And though panting from car-chasing, She had a visible life of passionate content She probably planned to get off the street, Forsake her hypothetical ‘street-urchin boyfriend’, Give up this demeaning way of living, But I feared she wouldn’t! She hadn’t been wired to get off the street And sadly, she was too content to stage a forced exit. Children on the road and teenagers of the road, Not choosing to be this vulnerable Yet hooded and shrouded in the cold, Filled with shreds of hope that the fut...

DOKITA

 EPISODE 3 ‘Oya sorry now, we’re almost there.’ Felix kept saying as he partially carried his dear friend.  She wouldn’t hear the last of this episode once it was over, that much he knew! ‘Awww…you don’t know how painful awww… this is’ ‘Sorry, sorry’ ; he kept saying So they eventually got to the ER and after pulling out her card, used ‘medical student connection’ to see the resident that was on call in Internal Medicine unit. ‘Hello dear’ , Dr. Brown said, looking keenly at the girl that was almost doubled over in pain ‘I think you should lie down on that couch’ ‘What exactly is the problem?’ ‘She just started complaining about her abdomen about half an hour ago’ ‘Oh’. ‘Can you point to where exactly the pain started?’ he asked ‘Here’ . Linda pointed to the area around her umbilicus. ‘Have you had any episode of vomiting?’ ‘No sir’ Felix answered spontaneously. ‘You must be her boyfriend, right?’ Dr.Brown asked, with a mischievious grin ...
