The Physics of SoundFrequency: The number
of cycles a sound wave completes in a given period of time
Amplitude: the Strength of a wave

From Sound Wave to Perception1. Pinna Tympanic Membrane (eardrum)
bones of inner ear (hammer, anvil, stirrup) COCHLEA (primary hearing organ)
2. Cochlea is filled w/ fluid, which further transmits vibrations to thin membrane- Basilar Membrane
3. BM = Transduction; tiny hairs on BM tickle the sensory nerves
4. Neural message is sent to Temporal Lobe

3 Psychological Sensations of Sound
1.Pitch- the way we sense frequency
2.Loudness- the way we sense amplitude
3.Timbre- the way we sense the complex mix of tone

2 Hearing Theories1. Place Theory: different places on
the BM are responsible for different pitches- explains high pitches
2. Frequency Theory: BM fires off neural messages at different rates- rate of firing accounts for differences in neural transmissions, which result in us hearing low frequencies

Conduction Deafness • An inability to hear resulting from damage to
structures of the middle or inner ear
• Conductive hearing loss is often only mild and is never worse than a moderate impairment.
• Generally, with pure conductive hearing loss, the quality of hearing (speech discrimination) is good, as long as the sound is amplified loud enough to be easily heard.
• Possible Causes• Ear wax build up• Fluid inside the inner ear, like from an inner ear
infection.• If the bones of the ear get a buildup of calcium

Sensorineural Deafness… or Nerve Deafness
• An inability to hear, linked to a deficit in the body’s ability to transmit impulses from the cochlea to the brain, usually involving the auditory nerve or higher auditory processing centers

• It can be mild, moderate, severe, or profound, to the point of total deafness.
• Possible Causes• Long-term exposure to environmental noise
• Genetic• Disease or illness
• Medications• Physical trauma

Pre-Lingual Deafness
• These are people that are born deaf
