Audition is the process of perceiving sound waves. It is a complex process involving the ear, the brain, and the nervous system. The end result of audition is the perception of sound, which can include the ability to recognize speech, music, and other environmental sounds.
The Ear
The ear is responsible for converting sound waves into electrical signals that can be interpreted by the brain. The ear is divided into three main parts: the outer ear, the middle ear, and the inner ear.
