The document discusses the anatomy and function of the human ear. It describes the ear as consisting of three main parts: the outer ear, middle ear, and inner ear. Sounds are captured by the outer ear and vibrations are transmitted through the middle ear to the inner ear, where they are translated and the brain interprets the sounds. The ear helps with both hearing and balance. It also discusses different types of sounds like environmental sounds, found sounds, sound abstracts, melodies, and noise.

2. The human ear

- The ear is the organ that detects sound. It not only receives
sound,
but also aids in balance and body position. The ear is part of
the
auditory system.
Often the entire organ is considered the ear, though it may
also be
considered just the visible portion. In most mammals, the
visible ear
is a flap of tissue that is also called the pinna (or auricle in
humans) and is the first of many steps in hearing. Vertebrates
have a
pair of ears placed somewhat symmetrically on opposite
sides of the
head. This arrangement aids in the ability to localize sound
sources.

3. The sound

Latin sonitus, a sound is a feeling that is
generated in the ear from the vibrations of
things. These vibrations are transmitted
through the air or other elastic medium.

4. As the sense of hearing works

The sense of hearing is essential for human development
and the individual in society , one of the main directions of
our species.

Listening to the voice, the music and sounds of all
kinds, helps us relate to our neighbors and to develop word
and speech.

This does not mean that it is vital to our existence and, of
course , many people lack this sense for one reason or
another .

Much of the understanding of the physical, biological and
social universe is obtained through the audition , and sounds
continuously informed about the activities of the
environment, even in areas beyond visual range or during
sleep .

5. Operation of the Ear

The ear consists of three sections:
 - The outer ear ,
 - Middle ear , and
 - The inner ear.
These parts work together , to hear and process
sounds 24 hours a day . The first step of the hearing
process is the capture of a sound, this is processed
and traslated , but the interpretation of sounds, takes
place in the brain and this process allows you to
identify if the sound is the sound of your a person , a
barking dog, a musical instrument, etc. .

6. types of sound
Environmental Sound:
In electroacoustic music, an ambient sound
that is taken from the environment-in the
broadest sense, or one that is perceived as
such.

7. 
Found Sound
Derivative objet trouvé (found object) of
Dadaism, a Sound Found is one that is
removed from its original context and re
contextualized within a musical context. This is
particularly easy to achieve within the genre of
electro acoustic music.

8. 
Sound Abstract:
An Abstract Sound can perceptually privileging
some qualities or sound parameters on which
the musicians have focused their attention on
the study. This could be in terms of the
techniques used in creating the sound
contribution to the overall musical discourse.

9. Melody


A melody is a sequence of sounds is perceived as
a single entity. It unfolds in a linear sequence, ie
over time, and has an own identity and meaning
within a particular soundscape.
In its most literal sense, a melody is a combination
of height and pace, while more figuratively, the
term has occasionally been extended to include
successions of other musical elements such as
timbre. It can be considered that the melody is the
foreground the background accompaniment. But a
melodic line or voice need not necessarily be a
foreground melody.

10. Noise



Noise is generally unpleasant hearing sensation inarticulate .
The environment is defined as all annoying to the ear. From
this point of view , the most sublime music can be classified
as noise by a person who at one time you do not want to hear
it.
In the field of acoustic communication is defined as unwanted
noise all interferes in communication between people or their
activities sound.
When the term is used synonymously with acoustic noise
pollution , it is referring to a noise (sound) with high intensity (
or a sum of intensities) , which may even be harmful to
human health. Against excessive noise earplugs and
earmuffs ( ear headphones , which contain electronics that
reduces the outside noise , decreasing them or making their
hearing more enjoyable ) are used to prevent hearing loss (
that , if left unchecked , can cause hearing loss).
