fluttering in ear when lying down
Hi, I have been experiencing a fluttering sensation in my ear when lying down. Can mathematics help explain this phenomenon?
Absolutely, physics along with mathematics can help explain such phenomenon. We can associate the fluttering sensation with wave propagation like sound waves. Knowing the frequencies of human ear receptive to (20 Hz to 20,000 Hz) and speed of sound, we can reflect on the nature of fluttering
Interesting! So how can I use these sound wave frequencies to better understand what's happening?
The fluttering sensation might be due to a rapid sequence of sounds. You may hear a sound as a flutter if its frequency is so fast that you can't individually distinguish. If you know the rate of flutters per second, you can calculate its frequency, using the formula frequency = 1/time.
Okay, but how do I measure the time or rate of the flutters?
Technically, you would need specialized equipment to measure this accurately. However, having an approximation of how many flutters you experience per second when you lie down can give us an estimated frequency. Remember, you should consult a medical professional as this might indicate a certain health condition.
