The most visible part of the ear is called the outer ear wich sticks out where other people can see it.

What is peripheral hearing loss?
Peripheral Hearing loss has to do with hearing loss in the peripheral auditory mechanism...that is, in the External Ear, Middle Ear, Cochlea, and VIIIth nerve.
Does listening to an orchestra produce vibrations?
No, the act of listening does not produce vibrations, unless you mean that being exposed to sound causes vibrations in your tympanic membrane. That is a part of the mechanism of hearing. Hearing and listening are two different things.
Explain the Mechanism by which hearing damage occurs?
Hearing damage can occur due to exposure to loud noises over time or a sudden loud noise. The mechanisms include damage to the delicate hair cells in the inner ear, which are responsible for sending sound signals to the brain. This damage can result in hearing loss or tinnitus (ringing in the ears).
What is the mechanism of sound sensation?
Sound waves impinge on the eardrum much like ocean waves pound the shoreline on the beach. This produces sensations that are communicated from the eardrum to the brain via the nervous system. There are various other parts of the ear that contribute to hearing, but this is the basic mechanism of the sensation.
How do tortoises hear?
They hear through a small opening on each side of the head that leads to the eardrum. The don't have external ears like we do - but the rest of the hearing 'mechanism' is there inside the skull.
What is the actual site of hearing?
The eardrum vibrates the sound. The sound is carried to the cochlea where little "hairs" bend and the sound is then carried to the auditory nerve to the brain. There are other bones and things that are part of the hearing mechanism but I have described how the ear takes in sound and sends it to the brain in the simplest terms possible.
What is the restoring mechanism of the innar ear?
The restoring mechanism of the inner ear is primarily carried out by hair cells. These specialized cells in the cochlea convert sound vibrations into electrical signals that are then transmitted to the brain. If hair cells are damaged or destroyed, they are not able to regenerate, leading to permanent hearing loss.
What is Labyrinthectomy?
The surgeon removes the entire labyrinth of the inner ear. Both vestibular nerve sectioning and labyrinthectomy have a 95-98% success rate in controlling vertigo, but the patient's hearing may be impaired
Reason of head tilting in unilateral hearing loss?
Head tilting in unilateral hearing loss is often a compensatory mechanism used to enhance sound localization and perception. When one ear has diminished hearing ability, individuals may tilt their head towards the better-hearing side to improve the auditory input and help the brain better interpret spatial cues. This adjustment can also assist in reducing the effects of sound shadowing and improve overall auditory clarity.
What are some hearing disorders?
Some of the hearing disorders areConductive hearing lossSensorineural hearing lossNoise induced hearing loss
How do bats hearing compare to human hearing?

What do you call someone who isn't deaf?
If it's someone who has full hearing they are called hearing. If they have little hearing or are lossing their hearing they are called hard of hearing.
