Hypothesis

I think when your eyes are closed you hear better, because when your not focussed on sight, you focus more on other senses such as hearing

Research

In challenging listening conditions, closing the eyes is a strategy with intuitive appeal to improve auditory attention and perception. On the neural level, closing the eyes increases the power of alpha oscillations (∼10 Hz), which are a prime signature of auditory attention.-ttps://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/

 

Variables

i am changing the volume of the sound until they cant hear it anymore with there eyes closed or opened.

Procedure

I asked them to say "I don't hear it anymore" when they don't hear it anymore. They were ment to go a meter away from the computer. I put on the sounds with their eyes closed, and I recorded down when they stopped hearing it. Then proceding to do the same with their eyes open.

Observations

The average Hertz the participants herd with their eyes closed is 17,509.3 Hertz. The average Hertz the participants heard with their eyes opened is 17,613.4 Hertz. So in conclusion when your eyes are closed you hear better.

Analysis

The average Hertz the participants herd with their eyes closed is 17,509.3 Hertz. The average Hertz the participants heard with their eyes opened is 17,613.4 Hertz. So in conclusion when your eyes are closed you hear better.

Conclusion

The average Hertz the participants herd with their eyes closed is 17,509.3 Hertz. The average Hertz the participants heard with their eyes opened is 17,613.4 Hertz. So in conclusion when your eyes are closed you hear better.

Application

  1. Have them closer to the computer
  2. Have their hair out of the way
  3. Move to a quieter room
  4. Use the same computer
  5. Ensure that they tell the truth

Sources Of Error

  • The computer’s changed
  • Their hair could have been blocking their ears
  • They could have been lying
