Why do we close our eyes for a moment on hearing a big sound?

Thats very simple ,usualy when a big BANG ,a messege is  from your ears(due to the ample stimulus(change) in the surrounding) in a matter of micro the mesege is sent by sensory neuron cell to the Brain but because its to late to respond(like run away)the brain sends back a meesege via motor neurons to the effectors(your eyes)and we respond as a reflex action,you are not the one making the decision it your CNS(central neves system) and you close your eyes to protect yourself from danger like dust or ash or maybe it is just fear!

Actually, no it doesn't. The sound you hear is actually vibrations in your ear that your brain converts to noise. So if there are no living creatures with ears and brains around to 'hear' it, it does not make a noise...just some air vibrations going all over the place.

I know what you mean.  I have a hearing loss in my left ear.  I've had this since I was about 3.  There are many disadvantages, I agree: People having to repeat themselves, but you need to hear what is being said just in case it's important.  I can't stand the fact that I can't tell where a sound is coming from.  I do like that fact that I have an advantage of blocking out sound when sleeping or the fact that I can tune out some noises.  I'd rather have hearing, don't get me wrong.. but that part is nice at least.  Just live you life and love who you are.

Because your ears aren't sensitive enough\nbut actually if they are sensitive enough, u can hear it.

I totally do this very thing!  I guess turning down the music helps me to think more clearly - I can 'hear myself think'.

you hear a noise because someone is making noise for people to laugh. you answered your own question.

I have the same thing...it's not specific to one ear or another.  But there are times when I'll hear something that sounds like soft footsteps or tapping, and I've realized it's my heartbeat!\n\nI don't know anything specific to stop this, but in general, you can lower your heart rate with long, deep breathing.  That's helped me in the past.

heres the answer.. take some acid.. then you will see the sounds and hear the pictures.. then your ears will have three receptors and your eyes one.

Because when you open your mouth and the ear comes in as negative pressure; the ostacious tube which is a canal connecting middle ear to the pharynx is increase in pressure by air; then pushes the ear drum to out side (slightly) so the sensitivity to sound waves decreases, that is why sometimes we cant hear the sounds while we are yawning.

No. The enormous amount of heat produced by lightning expands air suddenly, causing the sound we refer to as thunder. The reason we don't always hear thunder (right away) is because light travels faster than sound. We don't always hear that sound because it might be very far away, but we still see the light.

IMHO, it's really great that you are self-aware enough to notice this. many people go to sleep at night with the television blaring and it's usually because they can't stand the noise (their own thoughts) in their head and so they can't sleep otherwise. this is not healthy.\n\nif you are terrified of silence, you should probably ask yourself why. what would be the worst thing that would happen? perhaps you might find that you don't like some of the decisions you have made in life. that would be good to know now instead of later in life when the cost of a bad decision will just snowball into a huge avalanche.\n\ni wouldn't recommend that you meditate so that you can be OK with the silence although that's not a bad idea. but it might be a good idea to go out to the beach or the woods or somewhere safe where you can look at everything around you and soak it in and don't bring your iPod. just listen to the sound of nature and see if you can't hear silence between your ears. most of the time my "inner voice" is saying lots of stuff and i have been able to sort out the good from the bad and most of it is bad (as in being too self-critical), but the good stuff can save your life or your personal happiness. the good stuff might be something like "this is the fifth time that person has canceled on me and i haven't done anything like that to them; i'm going to find someone else who won't waste my time." or "man, i really did a good job on that thing the other day. how can i use that in a good way to further build my career/relationship/whatever."\n\nif you can tune into to what's going on between your ears, then you have made a really huge step. some people can never do this because they are numb. they can't tell you how they are feeling and that's a shame. they should make more trips to the beach or wherever makes them happy and give themselves the opportunity to sort themselves out.\n\nif you can get to a point where there isn't any noise at all and you have no fear of silence and there is a smile on your face, then you have reached a particularly good level of enlightenment. enjoy it. anything worthwhile can be yours at that point.\n\ni hope this helps.

You may have developed what's known as hypersensitive hearing. Unless it really bothers you alot, don't worry, it will likely go away. Sometimes medications can cause it, or even some illnesses in various phases. I experience this once in awhile, actually when my medication is not working so well. It's annoying at times, but kind of neat at other times. I've learned to enjoy the cocophony of sounds that I can hear.

This can actually be related to a heart irrythmia/blood pressure issue....when the blood pressure changes dramtically it can effect your hearing.  You might hear something that sounds like a breeze or vibration and it is because of the arties near your ear drum.\nProzac is fairly benign for most people.  Although supposedly it can cause mania in undiagnosed bipolar patients which would be auditory hallucinations.  Do bring up any concerns with your doctor and if you feel that they are not hearing you out get a new one.  There are alot of crappy psychiatrists out there.  Get one that displays empathy.

This sensation can be caused by a broad range of conditions... anemia, low blood pressure, head trauma, etc. Sounds like yours is a lingering symptom of an inner ear infection or fluid on the ear drum. Do you hear a garbling of words when around LOUD noise?\nIf the light headed-off balance sensation is a chronic symptom, I would recommend contacting your physician and seeing if they can find & treat the cause. It may be as simple to alleviate as taking a series of antibiotics &/or decongestants to dry up the fluid that is impairing your equilibrium.

Some classical music have an extra ordinary effect on me. I have to stop what I'm doing and listen to it.  I feel it  filling up my body it's so beauty.  I don't know why music has that effect on humans.  There must be a scientific reason.
