The speech banana is called such due to its shape. When the sounds of speech or phonemes of all the world s languages are charted in a diagram with one axis containing decibel levels dB and the other axis containing the frequency Hertz or Hz , the shape is that of a banana. Generally, the graph known as an audiogram is charted with frequency levels Hz on the X axis and the decibel levels dB on the Y axis. However, normal human hearing can occur with sounds outside of the Speech Banana. These sounds include ambient natural sounds such as a rustling of leaves in the wind or birds chirping. Man made sounds outside of the Speech Banana can include music and mechanical noises i.e., automobiles, lawn mowers . Audiologist s are primarily concerned with hearing loss that occurs within the Speech Banana because it can slow the development of a child s language and speech abilities which, in turn, can profoundly interfere with learning. Hearing loss within the Speech Banana can also hinder communication capabilities in adults. Hearing loss in elderly people is known as Presbyacusis .

Unreferenced date December 2009 The Banana Islands lie south west of the Freetown Peninsula in Sierra Leone . The two main islands, Dublin Island and Ricketts Island , are linked by a causeway . Dublin Island is known for its beaches while Ricketts Island is best known for its forests. Mes Meheux is the uninhabited third island of the Banana Islands. Dublin and Ricketts Islands have a combined population of about 900 people. The two Islands are connected by a spit of sand that is underwater at high tide. A stone bridge connects the path between the two islands villages of Dublin and Ricketts, located on the coast facing the Western Peninsula. The islands were visited in the 17th century and perhaps earlier by Portuguese sailors and were settled in the late 18th and 19th centuries by freed slaves whose descendants make up most of the population of the islands today. Tourist infrastructure exists only in the northern part of the island. Daltons Banana Guest House or the Banana Island Chalets can arrange transportation to the islands from Kent.
