Biology Department 1. 2  The ear is the organ of hearing and, in mammals, balance.  In mammals, the ear is usually described as having three parts:

When a sound is made, the air around the sound vibrates. Hearing starts when some of the sound waves go into the ear.

Hearing The Nature of Sound

Sound Sound, like light, comes in waves Sound is vibration Features of sound include: – Pitch – Hertz – decibels

Elements of Sound Pitch – A sound’s highness or lowness, which depends on the frequency of the sound wave. – Is measured as hertz (Hz) Hertz – A measure of the number of sound wave peaks per second; measures “frequency” – Determines the pitch of the sound – Human hearing goes from 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz

Elements of Sound Decibel – A measure of the height of the sound wave – Determines the loudness of the sound – Sometimes called amplitude

The Structure of the Auditory System Parts of the Ear- Auditory Canal – The opening through which sound waves travel as they move into the ear for processing – Ends at the tympanic membrane (eardrum) Tympanic membrane (eardrum) – The tissue barrier that transfers sound vibration from the air to the tine bones of the middle ear – Can be damaged by objects in the ear or exceptionally loud noises

The Structure of the Auditory System

Occicles – Three tiny bones that transfer sound waves from the eardrum to the cochlea – The bones are called the hammer, the anvil and the stirrup Cochlea – The major organ of hearing; – a snail shaped bony body tube fluid-filled in the inner ear where sound waves are changed to neural impulses.

The Structure of the Auditory System

Oval Window – The point on the surface of the cochlea which receives the sound vibration from the ossicles – As the oval window vibrates, the fluid in the cochlea vibrates. Hair Cells The receptor cells for hearing; located in the cochlea and are responsible for changing sound vibrations into neural impulses. Similar to the rods and cones within the eye

Parts of the Ear Auditory Nerve – The nerve that carries sound information from the ears to the temporal lobes of the brain Semicircular Canals – Organs in the inner ear used in sensing body orientation and balance (vestibular sense) – Relies on fluid in the canals – Spinning in circles disrupts the fluid.

Parts of the Ear

Divisions of the ear Ear’s structure can be divided into: – The outer ear – The middle ear – The inner ear

Divisions of the Ear

Localization of Sound Locating where sound is originating from Done through two cues: – Which ear hears the sound first? – Which ear hears the louder sound?
