    Hyperthermia is an elevation of body temperature over the temperature set point, due to either too much heat production or not enough heat loss. [1] [7] Hyperthermia is thus not considered fever. [7]: 103 [40] Hyperthermia should not be confused with hyperpyrexia (which is a very high fever). [7]: 102

    The temperature reading depends on which part of the body is being measured. The typical daytime temperatures among healthy adults are as follows: Temperature in the rectum (rectal), vagina, or in the ear (tympanic) is about 37.5 °C (99.5 °F) [20] [medical citation needed] Temperature in the mouth (oral) is about 36.8 °C (98.2 °F) [12]

    The first symptom of NIHL may be difficulty hearing a conversation against a noisy background. [7] The effect of hearing loss on speech perception has two components. The first component is the loss of audibility, which may be perceived as an overall decrease in volume. Modern hearing aids compensate this loss with amplification.

    [63] [64] These include at least one species in about 90% of extant avian families (218 out of 236 families recognised by the Howard and Moore Checklist). [65] Being able to sequence and compare whole genomes gives researchers many types of information, about genes, the DNA that regulates the genes, and their evolutionary history.
