Our Sense of Hearing

Have you ever thought about why we hear?

What's our hearing for? We take you on an incredible journey into what is possibly our most important sense to discover just how amazing the human ear is. And what we find, may just surprise you…

Our hearing is incredible. It can save our life, improve our memory, lift us out of the doldrums, connect us to people, and even change our destiny. But what's the real purpose of our hearing, and could we do with out it?

In this article you'll discover the difference between simply hearing speech and understanding speech, and why more people have problems understanding speech than they do simply hearing it.

In this article you will discover why it's good to have sticky-out ears; how the smallest bones in our body pack a punch above their weight; and how creating waves in the bath gives us a glimpse of how our ears work.
