The Other Senses: Hearing
The properties of sound and the basics of the ear.

Listening Exercise
• Put your books, pens, pencils, phones, and all other items down.
• Close your eyes.
• Listen!
• What is it that you’re hearing?

Life Without Hearing
• What are some of the things that we would miss out on if we couldn’t hear?
• What are some of the things that we would miss out on if we couldn’t see?
• Which would you rather lose, hearing or vision? Why?

Is Hearing Physical or Perceptual?• Physical Definition of Sound: A
change in pressure of the air or other physical medium.
• Perceptual Definition of Sound: An experience of “sound waves” by the ear or other perceptual medium.
• Sound Properties– Sound Wave: A sudden change in
MOLECULE pressure– Boat Example

More Properties of Sound• Amplitude: The
concentration of the air pressure. Determines the “loudness” of the sound.– Decibel =
20log(p/po) (po= pressure medium for air, it = 20)

More Properties of Sound• Frequency: The rate
of sound wave occurrences. Determines the “pitch” of the sound.– Sound frequency
is measured byHertz (Hz). 1 Hz =1 cycle per second.

The Equal Loudness Curve and Audibility
Curve
What’s the loudness button on your stereo doing?

The Ear, Our Sound Wave Detector
![Page 10: The Other Senses: Hearing](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081520/56816802550346895ddd8371/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The Benefits of the Pinna Listening Task1. Form a circle2. Each of you will participate in this at least once.3. Participating individuals need to…
1. Stand in the center of the group and close their eyes2. Locate an object based on its orientation (front, back
right, left), distance (close, far), and properties (high, low)
1. Covering one ear2. Covering your ears3. Cupping your ears

Auditory Localization

How it works…• Level/clarity differences• Spectral cues– Hoffman’s pinnae mold experiment– Surround sound implications
![Page 13: The Other Senses: Hearing](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081520/56816802550346895ddd8371/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Another Cue…• Visual Capture – our vision’s tendency to
dominate our mind’s interpretation of sound location.

Moving on…
• In our next section, we’ll examine the topic of touch… come to class awake and clean… this will make better sense when we get going.
