Ears – Hearing or Audioception
• Ears are the auditory sense organs of our body.
• They help us to perceive sounds.
• Our auditory system detects vibrations in the air and this is how we
hear sounds. This is known as hearing or audioception.
• The ears are divided into 3 sections, namely, outer ear, inner ear,
and the middle ear.
• All sounds are basically vibrations, so the outer ear transfers these
vibrations into the ear canal, where these vibrations are
transformed by the brain into meaningful sound.
• Apart from hearing, this sense is also important for balancing our
body or equilibrium.
