The sense of hearing, or audition, functions by detecting sound waves through the ear, which then convert these vibrations into neural signals. The outer ear collects sound waves, directing them to the eardrum, which vibrates in response. These vibrations are transmitted through the middle ear bones to the cochlea in the inner ear, where they are transformed into electrical impulses that are sent to the brain for interpretation. This sense enables communication, environmental awareness, and the appreciation of music and sounds.
