Auditory means of or relating to the process of hearing:
*
Auditory system
The auditory system is the sensory system for the sense of hearing. It includes both the sensory organs (the ears) and the auditory parts of the sensory system.
System overview
The outer ear funnels sound vibrations to the eardrum, increasin ...
, the neurological structures and pathways of sound perception
**
Auditory bulla, part of auditory system found in mammals other than primates
**
Auditory nerve
The cochlear nerve (also auditory nerve or acoustic nerve) is one of two parts of the vestibulocochlear nerve, a cranial nerve present in amniotes, the other part being the vestibular nerve. The cochlear nerve carries auditory sensory information ...
, also known as the cochlear nerve is one of two parts of a cranial nerve
**
Auditory ossicles, three bones in the middle ear that transmit sounds
*
Hearing (sense)
Hearing, or auditory perception, is the ability to perceive sounds through an organ, such as an ear, by detecting vibrations as periodic changes in the pressure of a surrounding medium. The academic field concerned with hearing is audit ...
, the auditory sense, the sense by which sound is perceived
*
Ear, the auditory end organ
*
Cochlea
The cochlea is the part of the inner ear involved in hearing. It is a spiral-shaped cavity in the bony labyrinth, in humans making 2.75 turns around its axis, the modiolus. A core component of the cochlea is the Organ of Corti, the sensory o ...
, the auditory branch of the inner ear
*
Sound
In physics, sound is a vibration that propagates as an acoustic wave, through a transmission medium such as a gas, liquid or solid.
In human physiology and psychology, sound is the ''reception'' of such waves and their ''perception'' by ...
, the physical signal perceived by the auditory system
* External auditory meatus, the
ear canal
The ear canal (external acoustic meatus, external auditory meatus, EAM) is a pathway running from the outer ear to the middle ear. The adult human ear canal extends from the pinna (anatomy), pinna to the eardrum and is about in length and in di ...
*
Primary auditory cortex
The auditory cortex is the part of the temporal lobe that processes auditory information in humans and many other vertebrates. It is a part of the auditory system, performing basic and higher functions in hearing, such as possible relations ...
, the part of the higher-level of the brain that serves hearing
*
Auditory agnosia
*
Auditory exclusion Auditory exclusion is a form of temporary loss of hearing occurring under high stress. As such it is related to tunnel vision and "the slowing of time in the mind".
Auditory exclusion happens as a result of the physiological effects of the acute ...
, a form of temporary hearing loss under high stress
*
Auditory feedback
Auditory feedback (AF) is an aid used by humans to control speech production and singing by helping the individual verify whether the current production of speech or singing is in accordance with his acoustic-auditory intention. This process is pos ...
, an aid to control speech production and singing
*
Auditory hallucination
An auditory hallucination, or paracusia, is a form of hallucination that involves perceiving sounds without auditory stimulus. While experiencing an auditory hallucination, the affected person would hear a sound or sounds which did not come from ...
, perceiving sounds without auditory stimulus
*
Auditory illusion
Auditory illusions are false perceptions of a real sound or outside stimulus. These false perceptions are the equivalent of an optical illusion: the listener hears either sounds which are not present in the stimulus, or sounds that should not be p ...
, sound trick analogous to an optical illusion
*
Auditory imagery
Auditory imagery is a form of mental imagery that is used to organize and analyze sounds when there is no external auditory stimulus present. This form of imagery is broken up into a couple of auditory modalities such as verbal imagery or musical i ...
, hearing in head in the absence of sound
*
Auditory learning
Auditory learning is a learning style in which a person learns through listening.
An auditory learner depends on listening and speaking as a main way of learning.Kostelnik, M.J., Soderman, A.K., Whiren, AP. (2004). Developmentally Appropriate C ...
, learning by listening
*
Auditory phonetics, the science of the sounds of language
*
Auditory scene analysis
In perception and psychophysics, auditory scene analysis (ASA) is a proposed model for the basis of auditory perception. This is understood as the process by which the human auditory system organizes sound into perceptually meaningful elements. Th ...
, the process by which a scene containing many sounds is perceived
*
Auditory science, concerning the perception of sound
