ABSTRACT
There is a great deal of ignorance about hearing, probably more than there is regarding vision. Many people are aware of how the eye works, at least in general terms. They know that light from an object is focused by the lens onto the retina. How many people know what happens to sounds in the ear? Very few, on the basis of my experience. Even if you believe that vision is the most important sense and that this should be reflected in teaching practices, I hope you will agree that we should not neglect hearing. If you are approaching this subject for the first time, I would like to convince you that auditory science is not only important but also fascinating.
