The ear serves two functions: hearing and balance.. The organs for these functions are the cochlea for hearing and the semicircular canals for balance.. The three parts of the ear are the inner, outer, and middle ear. The outer and middle ear are involved with hearing. The inner ear functions in both hearing and equilibrium. Receptors for hearing and balance: . Like light, sound travels in waves and like vision, in order to hear, we first need to receive the sensory input of the waves and then convert them into neural impulses sent to, and processed by, the brain. SECTION 1: SENSATION. WHAT IS SENSATION?. Def. : what occurs when a stimulus activates a receptor. Stimulus. : an aspect of or change in the environment to which an organism responds. SENSATION CONTINUED. The ear is a sensitive organ of the human body. It is mainly concerned with detecting, transmitting and transducing sound. Maintaining a sense of balance is another important function performed by the human ear.. University College London. www.lesicalab.com. THE STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION OF THE AUDITORY SYSTEM. HEARING.

Since that time, auditory perception as a field of study has undergone a radical metamorphosis. Technical and methodological innovations, as well as a considerable increase in attention to the various aspects of auditory experience, have changed the picture profoundly. This book is an attempt to account for this development by giving a comprehensive survey of the present state of the art as a whole.
