The Hearing Process

3D Model

Ears are extraordinary organs. Unlike eyes, they never sleep, and you cannot close them or give them a break. They work around the clock, picking up sound waves and converting them to information that the brain can interpret. Knowing how natural hearing works can help you better understand hearing loss and how it affects you or your child.

Hearing is the perception of sound. A sound is a pressure wave that can either vibrate slowly for deep sounds or quickly for high-pitched sounds.
