Hearing loss in twins alters mothers speech patterns
A study presented at the Acoustical Society of America meeting found that hearing loss in one infant twin changes a mother’s speech to both babies. Researchers recorded 15.8, 11.8, and 14.8 month twin sets, noting lower pitch and more variable intonation for normal hearing twins, with faster speech and longer sentences, potentially shaping language development for all twins.

Music Training May Boost Kids Brain Focus and Emotions
A University of Vermont study analyzed MRI scans from 232 children aged 6 to 18 to assess how learning violin or piano affects cortical development. Findings show music training alters motor and behavior regulation regions, relates to inhibitory control and emotion processing, and may complement or outperform medication in treating some psychological disorders.

Beethovens rhythm may mirror heart rhythm study says
University of Michigan and University of Washington researchers argue Beethoven’s deafness and possible cardiac arrhythmia shaped his music. They cite rhythmic shifts in Opus 130 Cavatina and Les Adieux as echoes of irregular heartbeats, calling some works musical electrocardiograms.
