Abstract
We hear with our brain! Of course, our sensory organ for audition, the ear, plays an important role in the transduction of sound to a neural signal. There is also a considerable processing of the main properties of sound (intensity, frequency, and temporal cues) before the neural signal reaches the central auditory nervous system (CANS). However, auditory processing essential for meaningful hearing and everyday communication takes place along the pathways and within the centers of the auditory brainstem and cortex. Examples of auditory processes include auditory discrimination, auditory pattern recognition, temporal (timing) aspects of audition, temporal ordering, auditory performance in competing acoustic signals (e.g., noise), and auditory performance with degraded acoustic signals.
