Hearing Aids and Different Languages
These days lots of people speak more than one language. Globalisation means that multilingual employees may be more sought after, and valued, extended generations of immigrant families now speak in two, or more, native tongues and other foreign languages as well. A funny question to ask is do some languages sound more beautiful than others? If you, or your loved ones, are losing your hearing then you may not be able to judge so well. You certainly won’t be able to communicate as well if you don’t get hearing care from a good, professional audiologist, like Clarisound.
Sexy Voices
Most of us have a favourite singer or movie star. For singers it’s usually the voice that hooks but if it’s Whitney Houston then looks can be as important as for actors like Brad Pitt. Then there are national accents like Sam Heugen in Outlander or Sean Connery before him who’s unmistakable Scottish voices have world-wide appeal. Sexy voices are a very attractive asset for you and your loved ones whether it’s in a romantic relationship or in a professional capacity. If you, or your loved ones, are losing your hearing then your ability to hear your own voice will be diminished. The best solution is to start wearing a suitable hearing that will restore your hearing and your quality of life, it will also restore your ability to hear your own voice.
Love Languages
A recent study in PNAS, a psychological and science journal, found that while some types of human voices may be attractive, languages are uniform in terms of their aesthetic appeal. Italian has long been labelled the language of love. Other European languages such as German are not so smooth. Some people are well spoken, others have good pronunciation. Researchers found a strong preference for languages perceived as familiar, even when they were misidentified, a variety of cultural-geographical biases, and a preference for breathy female voices. Whether you speak Tamil or Hokkien the speaker and the listener have their own personal, subjective interpretation of the attractiveness of languages. The speaker’s voice quality, and perceived resemblance to other languages culturally branded as beautiful or ugly were found to be the key determinants of appeal. So if you, or your loved one, are going on a date, or speaking in a professional situation, it is your own voice that is most important. Don’t worry about cross cultural language differences too much but if you are losing your hearing then you must get your hearing checked by a good, professional audiologist, like Clarisound.
