It seems to me they have taken into consideration what first came to your mind about this technology as the sound travels through the bones in the ear
It is thought that each person's hair cells produce a slightly different noise, but as the sound travels through the bones in the ear, the ear drum and along the ear canal, which are subtly different in each person, the noise is changed further to make it unique. Dr Beeby said: "Otoacoustic emissions have been used by the medical profession for many years and anecdotally clinicians could tell different people's traces apart. "When we looked at it we found that otoacoustic emissions really are unique from person to person. As the sound produced will change with the signal put in, we can use standardised signals that produce traces that can be compared. "It could be surreptitious as you don't necessarily know when your emissions are being captured. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/science-news/5219233/Ear-noise-can... Just because someone pretends to make something unsuitable for such use because of a so called license deal, does not mean they don't continue using it behind our backs Sometimes license deals are not always what they seem on the surface I do agree securing privacy does seem awfully low on their priority list Invading privacy seems more higher on their moden day priority list in my opinion Glad you found the link of some interest On Apr 24, 9:32 pm, Trev <[email protected]> wrote: > Interesting link, Dee - > Two things come to mind- Firstly this method of checking individuals > will need regular recalibration as ear conditions vary from time to > time. > Personally, I think there is already more than enough intrusion into > our lives on security grounds. > 'Securing' privacy seems to be low on the list of modern day > priorities! > > Secondly, this could be very helpful in investigating Hum in people > who get it ( or even don't) as even if it is an individual response to > external stimulations(s) it will still validate the cause and effect > mechanism(s). > > Maybe, it will suddenly be found unsuitable for such use- probably > under some 'licence' deal. > You heard it here first, folks... > > On Apr 25, 1:59 am, dboots <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Researchers have discovered that they can identify individuals from > > the faint sounds made deep inside the human ear and are now developing > > security devices using the technology. > > >http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/science-news/5219233/Ear-noise-can... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Hum Sufferers" group.
