Hearing
• Hearing is a mechanical sense
• A compression wave in air is changed to a vibration of a solid then a wave in a fluid, a displacement of a membrane, a bending of a hair cell and the generation of an action potential
• humans hear sounds 16 to 20000 cycles/second (Hz)

Sound System
Source– Any vibrating object
Medium– Any gas, liquid or solid
Receiver– anything designed to
detect the vibrations within the medium originating from the source

Condensation and Rarefaction
Bands of compression and rarefaction emanating from a sound source
Important Physical Characteristics of Sound
Frequency
• Rate of pressure change as a function of time
• Measured as cycles/sec or Hertz
• The primary determiner of pitch
Intensity
• Magnitude of the pressure change
• Measured as decibel (dB)
• The primary determiner of loudness

Frequency and Intensity
Sounds a and c share the same frequency and sounds b and c share the same intensity
How to quantify loudness: What is a
decibel?
• 20 lg (p1/p0) dB Sound Pressure Level (SPL)
• (p1: sound of interest, p0: threshold of human hearing at 2 kHz)
• hearing protection: longer exposure of levels above 85 dB
• p0= hearing threshold (2 x 10-5 Pa)

Loudness and Intensity
Here are some common sounds and their decibel equivalents
Pure (basic) ton: it could be characterized by a single frequency
Sound (musical) tone: a basic pitch tone and and its integral
multiples the harmonics
Noise: it contains several frequencies of the hearable frequency range
(white noise)

Path of Sound
(air conduction, bone conduction)
AIR CONDUCTION:
• External canal
• Vibrates eardrum
• Vibration moves though ossicles
– Malleus, incus, stapes
• Stapes vibrates oval window of cochlea
• Creates pressure wave in the fluid inside

The Outer Ear
Major Landmarks:
Pinna
External Auditory Meatus
Tympanic Membrane
Function of the Outer Ear
• Collect and funnel sound to the eardrum
• Protection
• Resonance
• (more esthetic than functional role in
human)

The Middle Ear
Major Landmarks:
• Eustachian tube
• Oval and round windows
• Ossicles
• Middle ear space
• Middle ear muscles
Muscles of the middle ear
• Stapedius muscle (facial nerve) and Tensor
tympani (trigeminal nerv) may influence of
the movement of the ossicles.
• These muscles contract in response to loud
sounds, thereby reducing the transmission of
sound to the inner ear. This is called Tympanic
reflex.

BONE CONDUCTION
- Bypasses the outer and the middle ear
- The bones of the scull conduct the vibrations
directly to the inner ear
- Its function in recognition of own woice
•CONDUCTIVE HEARING LOSS
•SENSORY HEARING LOSS
•NEURAL HEARING LOSS
•MIXED HEARING LOSS
