Question
Hearing is very easy to take for granted until it’s gone. The ability to hear evolved in animals as a warning system against predators. Hearing is now much more than that for humans. People use hearing to communicate, learn, and connect with the world.
Hearing aids are a recent scientific advancement that help people with hearing loss regain their ability to hear. Just like light and movement, sound is energy. Only the ears can interpret that energy. Sound comes from vibrations in the air. Air molecules move around and crash into other air molecules. The energy from that crash travels until it reaches a person’s ears. The ear’s big outer flaps, called the pinnae, gather all sounds from various directions. Then they send the sounds through the ear canal and into the inner ear. The eardrum then vibrates with the sound and sends electrical signals to the brain, which interprets the sound for a person to understand.
A complicated hearing system means there are different ways someone can lose the ability to hear. Most hearing loss occurs when the hairs in the cochlea become damaged. The cochlea is the organ that sends electrical signals to the brain. With fewer cochlea hairs, less sound is produced. Hearing aids can counteract this type of hearing loss.
