change in hearing

we found an interesting article about the change in hearing after having your ears pointed:

Dr. Lajos Nagy claims that his cosmetic surgery technique of pointing ears can actually "improve the experience of listening to music.

Why are pointed ears more sensitive? 

One of its reasons is rather simple: pointed ears focus sounds in a better way, which, in the case of animals, is supplemented by the fact that they can orientate themselves towards the source of sounds without turning their heads, by moving only their ears.

The other reason is the own frequency of the pinnae, as being solid objects themselves, which changes together with their shape. Pointed ears resonate with sounds at the frequency of around 8 kHz, thus they amplify sharp sounds instead of the intermediate frequencies. This is the reason why, amongst other things, dogs are sensitive to ultrasonic sounds, which are imperceptible for human ears.

Although turning the pinnae still remains impossible for human beings according to its anatomic features, the advantages of pointed ears can be enjoyed once again with the help of a simple, routine operation.



We are not sure if this is a noticeable effect. After the first ear pointing we didn't recognized much. After the second ear pointing at least Niha had problems with really high tone. At the moment we don't recognize it anymore. Maybe because we get used to it.
