You will be able to touch each part in turn to recreate the series of activities that carry sound to our brain. We rely upon our sense of hearing constantly in daily existence. Even during sleep the ear continues to function and the brain to react but on an unconscious level. We take our delicate sense of hearing for granted and often do not appreciate the degree to which we are able to discriminate among different sounds. The human ear is much more sensitive to different frequencies of sound than is the eye to variations in colour.
Hearing makes our lives easier.
Our ears deliver sounds like words, music, sirens and screams to our brain. Our ears help us gather information from the world around us. A sound is made. The pinna directs the sound waves into the ear canal. Energy from the sound waves make the eardrum vibrate just like a drum.
