Hello, this is 6 Minute English from BBC Learning English.
2
I'm Neil.
3
And I'm Georgie.
4
As we get older, many of us notice our sense of hearing getting worse.
5
Maybe we need to concentrate harder or ask people to speak more loudly.
6
Has that happened to you, Neil?
7
Not really.
8
A while ago I thought maybe my ears were getting worse,
9
but I had a check-up and everything was fine, thankfully.
10
That's great.
11
In the UK alone, hearing loss affects 18 million people and that number is increasing.
12
In this programme, we'll discover why we lose hearing with age and,
13
as usual, learn some useful new vocabulary.
14
And you can also find a transcript of this episode on our website, bbclearningenglish.com.
15
But now listen up, Georgie,
16
because I have a question for you.
17
Did you know that the three smallest bones in the human body,
18
the hammer, the anvil and the stirrup,
19
are all located in the ear,
20
but which one of those is the smallest?
21
Is it A, the hammer,
22
B, the anvil, or C, the stirrup bone?
23
That one's a difficult one.
24
I'm going to say the anvil bone.
25
OK, well we'll find out the answer later on.
26
To understand why our hearing gets worse with age,
27
it's useful to know a little about how the ear works in the first place.
28
Here's Mr Nish Mehta, an ear,
29
nose and throat surgeon at the Royal National ENT Hospital in London,
30
giving a beginner's class to BBC Radio 4 programme Inside Health.
31
Hearing is an amazing sense.
32
It's a special sense.
33
And the ear is really the hearing organ.
34
So the ear is split up into three main parts.
35
It's the outer ear, the middle ear and the inner ear.
36
The outer ear is the bit that you see.
37
It's on the side of your head.
38
We call that the pinna.
39
Think of that as the satellite dish.
40
It collects the sounds and it funnels them in towards the sense organ.
41
That then gets transmitted to the middle ear.
42
The middle ear's main job is to amplify those sounds.
43
That's done by having an eardrum which catches it and then vibrates sympathetically to the vibration of the noise that you heard.
44
And then that's passed on to the three smallest bones in the body,
45
the hammer, the anvil and the stirrup.
46
The ear is made up of outer, middle and inner parts.
47
It's one of our sense organs,
48
specific parts of the body,
49
your ears, eyes, tongue, nose and skin,
50
which allow you to experience the outside world.
51
The visible part, the outer ear or pinna,
52
acts like a satellite dish,
53
collecting sounds which it funnels into the middle ear.
54
The verb funnel means to move or direct something through a narrow space.
55
Once in the middle ear,
56
the eardrum amplifies the sounds,
57
before transmitting them to tiny hairs in the inner ear,
58
which then sends electrical signals to the brain.
59
It's an incredible system, but unfortunately one that can go wrong at any stage.
60
Here, James Gallagher, presenter of BBC Radio 4's Inside Health,
61
asks Nish Mehta when problems tend to start.
62
We're going to spend a lot of today,
63
Nish, thinking about age-related hearing loss.
64
When does that start?
65
Wear and tear of your hearing starts from around the age of eight.
66
Okay, so we're doomed already.
67
We're already on a downward spiral.
68
But we've got a lot of redundancy on the system.
69
And the speed at which our hearing declines is partly based on the genetics that you're born with,
70
and then partly based on the environment that you're exposed to.
71
So someone who has really strong genetics to protect them from hearing,
72
but spends their life on a pneumatic drill,
73
may have a much faster decline than someone on the other side.
74
You can imagine that your brain is doing
75
so much computation behind the scenes just to listen to someone speaking and understand the words that are saying.
76
So whilst hearing is going,
77
the brain tends to increase its listening effort.
78
And so often it's a very slow process for you to realise that you're struggling with hearing.
79
Wear and tear of our hearing starts as young as eight.
80
and tear means the damage that comes from ordinary, everyday use.
81
When Nish says this, James exclaims,
82
we're doomed – an informal way of saying we're destined to fail.
83
From the age of 8,
84
our hearing is on a downward spiral – a situation which gets worse and worse.
85
But don't worry just yet – human hearing has evolved with redundancy in the system,
86
a technical phrase meaning that there are many ways to achieve the same outcome,
87
so that but a backup system can take over if other systems fail.
88
Here, for example, the brain works harder to compensate for a weaker sound signal reaching the inner ear.
89
And there are other ways hearing loss can be helped as well,
90
including hearing aids, surgery or even just removing extra earwax – not a job I would like very much.
91
After that fascinating journey into the world of hearing,
92
I think it's time to reveal the answer to your question, Neil.
93
I asked you which is the smallest bone in the body and they are all in the ear.
94
Is it a the hammer,
95
b the anvil or c the stirrup bone?
96
I said the anvil, didn't I?
97
You did, but I'm afraid you obviously weren't listening in biology class
98
because you are wrong – it is in fact the stirrup bone.
99
OK, let's recap the vocabulary we've learned,
100
starting with sense organs – specific parts of the body like your ears and eyes which allow you to experience the world.
101
To funnel means to move or direct something through a narrow space.
102
And a funnel – the noun – is a cone-shaped tool which does this.
103
and tear refers to the damage that comes from using something every day.
104
If you say, we're doomed,
105
you mean we're going to be defeated or fail.
106
And a downward spiral is a situation which continuously gets worse and worse.
107
And finally, redundancy in the system refers to having more than one way to achieve an objective
108
so that a backup can take over if other methods fail.
109
You'll be sad to hear that once again our six minutes are up,
110
but why not head over to our website bbclearningenglish.com to try the quiz and worksheet for this episode.
111
Goodbye for now.
112
Goodbye.

상황 및 배경
이번 영상에서는 BBC Learning English의 '6 Minute English' 시리즈에서 청력 손실의 원인에 대해 다루고 있습니다. 영어를 배울 때, 다루는 주제를 통해 언어 습득의 맥락을 이해하는 것이 중요합니다. 청각에 대한 내용을 듣고, 관련된 어휘를 배우는 것은 영어 회화 연습에 큰 도움이 됩니다. 이 영상에서는 연령이 증가함에 따라 청력이 어떻게 감소하는지, 그리고 귀의 구조에 대해 설명합니다.
일상 대화를 위한 5가지 주요 표현
- Hearing loss: 청력 손실 - 나이가 들며 많이 사용되는 표현입니다.
- Sense organ: 감각 기관 - 귀를 언급할 때 자주 나오는 단어입니다.
- Vibrate: 진동하다 - 귀와 관련된 기능을 설명할 때 유용합니다.
- Amplify: 증폭하다 - 소리를 키우는 과정을 설명하는 데 자주 사용됩니다.
- Outer ear: 외이 - 귀의 구조를 설명할 때 중요한 용어입니다.
단계별 섀도우잉 가이드
이번 영상을 활용하여 shadowspeak 또는 shadow speech 연습을 하는 것은 영어 실력을 향상시키는 데 매우 효과적입니다. 다음 단계를 따라 해보세요:
- 영상의 내용이 이해되도록 먼저 전체를 한 번 듣습니다.
- 일상 대화에서 자주 쓰이는 표현들을 중점적으로 노트합니다.
- 각 표현을 반복해서 발음하며 따라 해보세요. 이때 shadow speak 기법을 활용해보면 좋습니다.
- 조금씩 어휘를 더해가며 짧은 문장을 만들어 보세요. 예를 들어, '나의 청력이 줄어들고 있다'라는 문장을 만들어 보세요.
- 마지막으로, 자신이 만드는 문장을 소리내어 읽어보며 자연스럽게 말할 수 있도록 연습합니다.
이렇게 연습하면 유튜브 영어 공부를 통해 얻은 지식을 더욱 잘 활용할 수 있을 것입니다. 연습을 거듭하며 자연스럽게 영어 회화 능력을 키워보세요!
쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법
쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
