Hearing is one of the five senses. It helps us understand the world around us. Learn more about how we hear. Your ears are fully developed at birth. In fact, you can respond to sounds before you are born. As a baby, you can hear soft and loud sounds right away.
So, how do you hear?
Your ear has three parts that lead to your brain. These parts are the outer ear, the middle ear, and the inner ear.
The hearing process is a complex sequence of events that transforms sound waves in the air into electrical signals your brain interprets as sound. It is divided into four main stages.
Some babies are born with hearing loss. One or more parts of their ear may not function properly. Some children lose their hearing as they get older. And some adults lose their hearing because of loud noises, illness, or age. If you think you might have a hearing loss, see an audiologist for testing.
