| | Hearing (sense) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Hearing, or audition, is one of the traditional five senses, and refers to the ability to detect sound. | | | In human beings, hearing is performed by the ears, which also perform the function of balance, a sense in itself but not one of the traditional list (due to Aristotle). | | | Dogs are able to hear ultrasound, which is the principle of 'silent' dog whistles. |

| | In sensorineural hearing loss, air conduction is greater than bone conduction in both ears (as in normal hearing), however, hearing is decreased in the affected ear. | | | In conductive hearing loss, the tone is louder on the affected side. | | | In conductive hearing loss, bone conduction is greater than air conduction, because bone conduction bypasses problems in the external or middle ear. |

| | Riddle of Humanity: Lecture Seven |
| | Hearing is bound up with the organs of hearing, at least principally so, but it needs more besides — hearing involves much more of the organism than just the ear, which is what is normally thought of as the region of hearing. | | | The physiologists are finally recognising and distinguishing the senses of life, of movement and of balance from one another, and they have begun to treat the senses of warmth and touch separately. | | | The sense of movement makes you aware of all these inner movements that entail changes in the position of separate parts of the organism. |

| | Hearing—Information about Hearing, Communication, and Understanding |
| | Research into hearing and communication is providing a scientific foundation for understanding the anatomy, physiology, and genetics of the hearing pathway, as well as the social and cultural aspects of human communication. | | | Students may believe that because each sense is specialized for a particular type of sensation, senses function by themselves and do not interact with one another or with the rest of the body. | | | Students may believe that because our senses function without any conscious input, always being “on,” their function and health are not influenced by what we do. |

| | Even under quiet conditions, then, the best that the sense of hearing can do is to provide an unreliable warning of a vehicle's presence, and an inaccurate idea of its position. | | | Bicyclists learn very quickly not to trust their sense hearing to warn them before turning or changing lane position. | | | Under noisy urban conditions, the sense of hearing can not often provide an early warning, though often it does provide information about nearby vehicles. |

| | What we do have are relative comparisons relative to a person's previous or other hearing aids, to various adjustments on the one being tried, or to internalized predictions by the audiologist on what performance this person should obtain. | | | Otherwise, there is the possibility that unconscious bias, either on the part of the experimenter or the subject, will influence the results. | | | What is necessary is clinical research in which the various strategies are tested on people who display a range of hearing losses. |

| | The incredible Sense of Hearing |
| | In fact, if the inner ear were as protuberant as the eyes are it is likely that subjects would be more impressed and appreciative of what they can hear in the same manner that they are impressed with what they can see. | | | When the extreme sensitivity of the auditory system is analyzed, one has only but to wonder about its functions. | | | Auditory function is the process by which the stimulation of receptors in the inner ear is followed by transduction of the mechanical stimulus into neural energy which upon reaching the brain gives us the sensation of hearing. |
