Hearing Disability Assessment

These hair cells vibrate when sounds pass into the cochlea, and thereby send electrical signals to the brain which are perceived as sound. Excessive noise selectively damages some of these hair cells, c ...

Ear
The ear is the organ that detects sound. It not only receives sound, but also aids in balance and body position. The ear is part of the auditory system.Often the entire organ is considered the ear, though it may also be considered just the visible portion. In most mammals, the visible ear is a flap of tissue that is also called the pinna (or auricle in humans) and is the first of many steps in hearing. Vertebrates have a pair of ears placed somewhat symmetrically on opposite sides of the head. This arrangement aids in the ability to localize sound sources.
