MUSIC TO MY EAR: WILL BE ABLE TO RECOGNIZE THE MUSICAL NOTES BETTER WHEN USING ONLY THE LEFT EAR?
MUSIC TO MY EAR: WILL BE ABLE TO RECOGNIZE THE MUSICAL NOTES BETTER WHEN USING ONLY THE LEFT EAR?

Summary/Abstract: Tone deafness refers to a condition where a person is unable to distinguish between different musical notes. Afflicted persons are not able to recognize the difference when 2 different musical notes are played. This inability is not caused by a lack of musical knowledge or training but is instead caused by genetic inheritance or brain damage. Tone deafness is a disability that is shown in music only. People who are tone deaf do not have a problem in recognizing the different intonations in human speech. This disability is also associated with the inability to follow musical rhythms and recognize songs. In this paper, we propose the ability of participants to recognize and repeat the musical notes that they hear. Testing was done using only the left ear, only the right ear, and both ears.
