The part of the brain that controls hearing and speech is primarily the left hemisphere, and more specifically, two key areas within it: the auditory cortex and Broca's area.

Auditory Cortex: This region, located in the temporal lobe of the brain, is responsible for processing auditory information, including the sounds we hear. It helps in deciphering various aspects of sound, like pitch, volume, and tone.

Broca's Area: While not directly linked to hearing, Broca's area plays a crucial role in speech production. It's located in the frontal lobe of the left hemisphere and is responsible for the formation of speech and language. Damage to this area can result in expressive language difficulties, known as Broca's aphasia.

So, in a nutshell, when you hear something, your auditory cortex processes the sound, and when you want to speak or understand speech, your left hemisphere, including Broca's area, is actively involved in language processing. It's quite fascinating how different areas of the brain work together to make hearing and speech possible!

Where are the 4 lobes in the cerebrum?

Frontal Lobe (controls thought processes, behavior, personality, emotions) Temporal Lobe ( controls hearing, understanding, speech, language) Occipital Lobe ( controls vision) Parietal Lobe ( controls body sensations, visual and spatial perception)


What parts of the brain controls hearing and speech?

The left frontal lobe, or more specifically, the Broca's area, named after Paul Broca who is mainly credited for the discovery (Though a Marc Dax put forth the theory 25 years before). The Broca's area is a small portion of the bottom of the left frontal lobe.

Which part of the brain is responsible for hearing and memory?

The temporal lobe is primarily responsible for hearing, while memory processes are influenced by several brain regions, including the hippocampus, amygdala, and prefrontal cortex. Memory formation and storage occur through complex interactions among these regions.


What do you think th ear controls?

Hearing and balance. The ear doesnt control anything, it is a sensory organ only. It does though sense sound and gravitational pull, the senses of hearing and balance. The information is receives is relayed to the brain which controls movements to adjust balance.

What is brain can you explain brain parts?

The parts of the brain are the cerebrum, cerebellum and the brain stem. The cerebrum makes up 90% of the brain and controls speech, memory, thoughts and all conscious actions. The cerebellum controls balance and co-ordinates complex muscle movements. The brain stem controls all unconscious thoughts such as ; heat rate and breathing
