hearing

 Hearing is very important
Our daily life and our quality of life can be affected by hearing loss.

Hearing gives us fundamental information on a constant basis and makes us experience emotions and memories. Hearing is very important:
At work:

    Participate in group meetings
    Talking on phone
    Follow conversations in a noisy office

On social occasions

    When talking with friends
    While talking during a dinner in a restaurant
    When interacting with their grandchildren
    When talking on the phone
    When watching television with other people

For your own safety:

    When walking near a busy road
    To hear sounds that warn of danger such as sirens and other traffic signals
    To be able to hear a request for help

When we learn:

    We can concentrate with little effort
    We can communicate with teachers
    We record the information correctly

Probably the music would not be lost, the laughter of the children or the words whispered by a beloved person. Nor the most pleasant sounds of nature: the song of a blackbird, the wind between the leaves in autumn, the waves on the beach or the crackling of a bonfire.
How hearing works

To hear we use two ears and a brain. And there is a reason.

Natural hearing
A healthy auditory system can recognize bass sounds (a contrabass or traffic) and highs (a violin or birdsong). In technical terms, it refers to frequencies between 20 and 20,000 Hertz. In addition, it can process very mild sounds (such as a mosquito buzz) and very high (the engine of a reactor). This is equivalent to a volume between 0 and more than 120 decibels.

The understanding of speech
Our brain has a tendency to understand speech and can process it in different facets and in any situation. When we are in a cafeteria, talking on the phone or at a conference, the brain filters out many irrelevant sounds to focus on what it has to hear. Thanks to this ability, we can concentrate on a single instrument of an orchestra or participate in an intimate conversation in the middle of a noisy environment.

Spacial hearing
Our brain receives sound in 360 degrees: from any point around the head. It is able to differentiate between front and back, up and down. This allows us to know where a sound comes from, the size of a room or if there is a traffic jam in the area.
