The cranial nerves are 12 pairs of nerves that can be seen on the ventral (bottom) surface of the brain. Some of these nerves bring information from the sense organs to the brain; other cranial nerves control muscles; other cranial nerves are connected to glands or internal organs such as the heart and lungs. The channel authority makes this video for the professionals who can easily know about cranial nerves.

Hearing is simply the act of perceiving sound by the ear. If you are not hearing-impaired, hearing simply happens. Listening, however, is something you consciously choose to do. Listening requires concentration so that your brain processes meaning from words and sentences. The channel authority makes this video for the professionals who can easily know about the listening, listening vs. hearing and types of listening.

Children vary in their development of speech and language. There is, however, a natural progression or "timetable" for mastery of these skills for each language. The milestones below are identifiable skills that can serve as a guide to normal development. Typically, simple skills need to be reached before the more complex skills can be learned. There is a general age and time when most children pass through these periods. These milestones help doctors and other health professionals determine when a child may need extra help to learn to speak or to use language. The channel authority makes this video for the professionals who can easily know about the speech and language developmental milestones.

Vocal hygiene is a term used to describe habits, which support a healthy and strong voice throughout your life. Just as good oral hygiene can help protect your teeth as you AGE, vocal hygiene can help you preserve a resonant voice into your 60s, 70s, and beyond. Good voice habits are also used by speech therapists to help rehabilitate a damaged voice. The channel authority makes this video for the professionals who can easily know about the Vocal Hygiene.

The speech chain describes the stages in speech communication whereby a message moves between the mind of the speaker and the mind of the listener. Through the idea of the speech chain we see that information which is communicated linguistically to achieve some goal is encoded by the speaker into a sequence of articulatory gestures which generate sound, that sound is communicated to the listener, processed by the hearing mechanism into a neural signal that is interpreted to extract the meaning of the utterance and the intention of the communicative act. The channel authority makes this video for the professionals who can easily know about the speech chain.

Consonants are sounds that are produced with the articulators more or less close. That is, they are produced with a close articulation, going from completely together to only approx imating . Consonantal sounds are classified according to three dimensions:
Voicing, Place of articulation and Manner of articulation.
Voicing refers to the activity of the vocal folds. When the voca l folds are wide apart, consonants are said to be voiceless, when they are closely together and vibrating, consonants are said to be voiced.
The place of articulation refers to that area in one of the resonating cavities (larynx, mouth) where the articulators are opposing some kind of stricture or obstacle to the passing of air.
The manner of articulation refers to the way the articulators are set so that the resonance effect is possible. The channel authority makes this video for the professionals who can easily know about the justification of consonants.

The human ear has three main sections, which consist of the outer ear, the middle ear, and the inner ear. Sound waves enter your outer ear and travel through your ear canal to the middle ear. The ear canal channels the waves to your eardrum, a thin, sensitive membrane stretched tightly over the entrance to your middle ear. The waves cause your eardrum to vibrate. It passes these vibrations on to the hammer, one of three tiny bones in your ear. The hammer vibrating causes the anvil, the small bone touching the hammer, to vibrate. The anvil passes these vibrations to the stirrup, another small bone which touches the anvil. From the stirrup, the vibrations pass into the inner ear. The stirrup touches a liquid filled sack and the vibrations travel into the cochlea, which is shaped like a shell. Inside the cochlea, there are hundreds of special cells attached to nerve fibers, which can transmit information to the brain. The brain processes the information from the ear and lets us distinguish between different types of sounds. The channel authority makes this video for the professionals who can easily know about anatomy and physiology of the human Ear.

Organs used for speech include the lips, teeth, alveolar ridge, hard palate, velum (soft palate), uvula, glottis and various parts of the tongue. They can be divided into two types: passive articulators and active articulators. The channel authority makes this video for the professionals who can easily know about the organs of speech.

Speech production is the process by which thoughts are translated into speech. Normally speech is created with pulmonary pressure provided by the lungs that generates sound by phonation through the glottis in the larynx that then is modified by the vocal tract into different vowels and consonants. The channel authority makes this video for the professionals who can easily know about the mechanism of speech production.

Audiology is a branch of science that studies hearing, balance, and related disorders. Audiologists treat those with hearing loss and proactively prevent related damage. By employing various testing strategies, audiologists aim to determine whether someone has normal sensitivity to sounds.
