Question

Describe how the process of hearing works. Include the following topics.
• The characteristics of sound
• The overall function of the outer, middle, and inner ear
• Place theory and frequency theory
• The auditory cortex
PLEASE DETAILED ANSWER I WILL GIVE MANY POINTS AND BRAINLIEST ANSWER/LIKES

Answer 1

(In order of the given bullet points)

• Five qualities of a sound wave may be used to define it: wavelength, amplitude, time period, frequency, and velocity or speed. The wavelength of a sound wave is the shortest distance at which it repeats itself.

• The ear canal is a tiny opening that connects to the eardrum. The eardrum is reached by sound waves passing via the ear canal, a small opening. Sound waves are "caught" by the outer ear (pinna) and sent to the middle ear, which is shielded, through the ear canal. The eardrum vibrates as a result of these entering sound waves.
• The majority of psychologists concur that the location principle applies to hearing sound stimuli at high frequencies, whereas those at low frequencies are explained by the frequency theory. Mid-frequency sound stimuli are thought to be properly accounted for by both hearing theories.
• In humans and many other species, the auditory cortex is the area of the temporal lobe that deals with auditory information. It is a component of the auditory system that performs both fundamental and advanced hearing processes, including those that may be related to language switching.
