hearing aid, discovered its ability to decompose complex sounds into simple tones. Arts. synthesis of complex sounds G. provedthat the timbre of sound is determined by the presence of overtones and relates them. by force, that its cause lies in the characteristics of those vibrations that affect the organ of hearing. He also studied the structure and functions of the organ of hearing and substantiated the theory of resonance (the Helmholtz resonator is known - a device used in the analysis of sounds). G. investigated the treble of the violin. strings and for the first time solved the problem of the sound of an organ string.
