-Ludwig Van Beethoven overcame deafness by biting a metal rod attached to his piano to hear his work." [[https://www.ksat.com/health/chew-on-this-hearing-device-for-the-mouth|source]]</blockquote>+we found several different methods of recording chewing soundslisted below
  
 +<blockquote>A two component system was devised for recording and analyzing chewing sounds
 +conducted through the bone. A specially designed 0.0005 in. thick stainless steel needle
 +mounted on a phonograph cartridge (Figure 1) was found to be most reliable for
 +picking up vibrations from bony surfaces while a subject chewed a standard portion
 +of a test food for 10 strokes. The signal was fed through an amplifier and recorded
 +on a in. magnetic tape in a tape recorder* run at a speed of 3¾ inch per sec. The sounds
 +were also monitored with earphones by the investigator. \\
 +[...]\\
 +Three bony areas (center of the forehead, mastoid process and lower border of the mandible towards its angle) were
 +chosen to establish, if possible, a single satisfactory and reliable landmark for picking
 +up chewing sounds. The pick-up needle was gently pushed through the skin to rest
 +on the bony surface at a point that was free of muscle attachment and had a relatively
 +thin tissue cover. This point was established by palpating the area while the subject
 +was asked to clench his teeth and relax. The pick-up device was held in place with a
 +rubber cuff. The sounds were recorded separately from each of the three sites while
 +the subject chewed a 3 g portion of peanuts.

The output from the mixer was then fed through one of three attenuators (Advance Instruments step-attenuator, model A64A, Bethel Park, PA) situated outside the booth, and subsequently through one of three 1/3 octave graphic equalizers (Phonic, model PEQ3300, Tampa, FL) before being fed back to the participant in the booth, via a pair of headphones (Ross RCB200) powered by the output from the mixer. The amplification level was set so that the loudest sounds were presented to the participants at approximately 75 dB(A), which corresponds to a “comfortable” listening level. +Participants were seated comfortably in a small sound-attenuated booth [...] A microphone (Sennheiser ME66/K6 supercardioid, Wedemark, Germany), powered by a [...] mixer, was placed such that when participants were seated in the booth, the microphone was positioned directly in front of their mouths.

-Food sounds normally consist of both air- and bone-conducted components, with the relative contribution of the former being greater when the +
-mouth is open rather than closed (Lee et al. 1990; Dacremont et al. 1991). +
- +
-Given that the only sounds that were modified in the present study were those picked up by the microphone situated outside the mouth, all of the effects +
-reported here should be attributed to the modification of the airborne component of the biting sound (Lee et al. 1990). Nevertheless, it is worth noting that previous research has shown that air-conducted sounds are actually more important than bone conducted sounds for the determination of the crispness of foods (Dacremont 1995).+
