Abstract:
Hearing is a crucial component of human communication. Rarely its
significance it is recognised until it is damaged or lost. The development of speech
and language is impacted by hearing loss. The outer, middle, and inner ear are the
three separate anatomical compartments that make up the human ear. The pinna,
located on the outer ear, absorbs sound waves, and directs them into the ear canal,
where they vibrate the ear drum. The three middle ear ossicles transport the vibrations
as mechanical waves, which are then sent to the oval window of the inner ear where
they are transformed into nerve impulses. The auditory nerve carries these impulses to
the brain, where they are converted to sounds. Hearing impairment or hearing loss is a
more accurate term for the inability to hear sounds
