Why Using Noise Reduction Headphones With an MP3 Player Is Better Than Earbuds
by: Lee Blue
MP3 players and portable CD players usually come with the standard ?earbud? headphones. Earbuds fit into the ear like a hearing aid and are lightweight and portable. Their advantages, however, stop there. When it comes to the quality of the music you are listening to, that quality can be greatly diminished due to the inability of earbud headphones to filter out the noises that you are not interested in listening to; such as the voices, car engines, train noises, and barking dogs that may be all around you when you are out in public.
One of the great advantages of MP3 players, such as iPods, and portable CD players is that you can take them with you wherever you go. Sometimes the very reason for bringing them along on an outing is so that you can entertain yourself while you are engaged in other activities, such as jogging, riding on the subway, or waiting in line at the Department of Motor Vehicles. Soothing music being piped into your ear can go a long way in easing tension when you are running errands; and upbeat, rhythmic music can help tremendously when you are exercising and need incentive to go that extra mile.
Fortunately, there is an excellent alternative to earbud headphones. Noise reduction headphones can enhance the quality of the music you are listening to by making sure that you get nothing but the music, in exactly the way you should be hearing it. While earbuds sit inside your ear, possibly causing irritation and discomfort, headphones are styled to fit around your ear like earmuffs, guaranteeing that they will not only reduce outside noise, but will feel comfortable as well. While, with earbuds you usually have to increase the volume to be able to hear the music that you are trying to listen to, noise reduction headphones can keep the volume at a comfortable level and allowing you to enjoy your music in the top-quality manner that it is intended to be heard.
The portability of MP3 players encourages prolonged use, especially by teenagers. Unfortunately, the combination of increased volume and longer listening time may cause hearing damage which can lead to hearing loss. The use of noise reduction headphones can help protect hearing by delivering music without the increased decibel level. This also allows listener to enjoy their music longer without suffering hearing damage.
Noise reduction headphones work not only by surrounding your ears, therefore helping to block out outside noises, but also by using noise-cancellation technology, which further enhances your ?music only? experience. Not only do noise reduction headphones help to filter out all noises except what your MP3 player is outputting, they also contain your music thus not disturbing those around you. The noise reduction works both ways ? you hear your music like you are supposed to, and others don?t have to listen along with you.
A good set of noise reduction headphones does not have to be cumbersome, either. Taking into consideration what portable music device users need, the makers of noise reduction headphones are making their product light, foldable, and easily portable.
When you purchase your MP3 player or portable CD player, one of the best things you can do after that is to put aside the earbud headphones that come with it and buy a good set of noise reduction headphones. You won?t be sorry.

Coping With Hearing Loss: A Writer's Story
by: Connie Briscoe
Oddly enough, I've come to think that losing my hearing was one of the best things to ever happened to me, as it led to the publication of my first novel.
I believe that no matter how tough things get, you can make them better. I have my parents to thank for that. They never allowed me to think that I couldn't accomplish something because of my hearing loss. One of my mother's favorite sayings when I expressed doubt that I could do something was, "Yes, you can."
I was born with a mild hearing loss but began to lose more of my hearing when I was a senior in college. One day while sitting in my college dormitory room reading, I noticed my roommate get up from her bed, go to the princess telephone in our room, pick it up and start talking.
None of that would have seemed strange, except for one thing: I never heard the telephone ring! I wondered why I couldn't hear a phone...

Learning to Listen
by: Jason Mills
In recent years, there have been great advances in the technology of hearing aids.
Cochlear implants have become commonplace in many parts of the world, and digital hearing aids have eclipsed their analogue counterparts in common usage.
Hearing aids have certainly come a long way, from the days of ear trumpets.
The following is a timeline of key developments in the advance of hearing aid technology.
? 1550 ? The theory of bone conduction through teeth was developed by Girolamo Cardano.
? 1558 ? Giovanni Batista Porta described some of the earliest hearing aids in his book Natural Magick.
They are shaped like the ears of animals known for their acute hearing abilities.
? 1724 ? A postmaster from Versailles, hoping to cure his own deafness, discovered Eustachian Tube Catheterization.
? 1878 ? Emil Berthold first described the surgical repair of a perforated...

Please Tell Me NO - A Sales Training Success Tip from Ike Krieger
by: Ike Krieger
I said, "No."
What is it about ?no? that you don?t understand?
Generations of salespeople have been told that when a prospect tells you ?no?? it?s really a request for more information.
You may have heard that the ?sale? doesn?t really begin until your prospect tells you ?no.?
I say, ?Baloney.?
Sometimes a ?no? means ?no.?
Try this on. When your prospects tell you ?no?, it?s a good thing? especially when you control the ?no.?
You've heard of "Getting to Yes."
I believe in getting to "No."
Let me make an educated guess.
You don't like hearing the word "no."
Ever since you were very young you've done your best to avoid being told "No." The word "no" seems so negative.
A "no" in the world of selling is looked upon as a negative.
If your sales process results in a "no", it's usually viewed as a...

Over the last decade, VoIP has increasingly made its way into business and is now making its way into more and more homes, as people find better, more affordable ways to communicate with convenience.
