Demonstrate:

a. sound source at fl oor level

b. sound source at learner’s waist level

c. sound source at learner’s head level

d. sound source above learner’s head level

2. Repeat condition one and allow the learner to

identify the height location of the sound after
hearing each sound.

Instructor: “How high is the sound?”

3. Repeat previous conditions by varying volume, tone,

and rate.

Activity Three: Locating the sound source in
relation to the body

1. Assume initial position: Sound source is placed at

head height at a distance of 4 to 10 feet from the
learner. Place the sound source as follows:

a. in front of learner

b. behind learner

c. left of learner

d. right of learner

Body relationships should be understood by the learner
prior to the demonstration.

Instructor: “The sound you hear will be in front of you.”

2. Repeat all conditions and allow the learner to identify

the body relationship after hearing the sound.

Instructor: “Where is the sound?”

3. Repeat the conditions, varying the volume, tone, rate,

and height position in relation to the body.

Activity Four: Determining relative distance
of sound source

1. Assume initial position: Sound source is placed

directly in front of the learner at head height in a
near position. Near is defi ned as the space around
the learner within reaching/touching distance;
approximately one to three feet.

Instructor: “Is the sound near you?” Provide feedback to the
learner by allowing him to touch the sound source.

2. Take subsequent position: Sound source is placed

directly in front of the learner at head height in a far
position. Far is defi ned as space around the learner
beyond touching distance; approximately four feet
and beyond.

The sound characteristic used in condition one should be
the same for this condition.
