| 5337850631 | Audition | the sense or act of hearing | 0 | |
| 5337850632 | Frequency | the number of complete wavelengths that pass a point in a given time (for example, per second) | 1 | |
| 5337850633 | Pitch | a tone's experienced highness or lowness; depends on frequency | 2 | |
| 5337850634 | Middle Ear | the chamber between the eardrum and cochlea containing three tiny bones (hammer, anvil, and stirrup) that concentrate the vibrations of the eardrum on the cochlea's oval window | 3 | |
| 5337850635 | Cochlea | a coiled, bony, fluid-filled tube in the inner ear; sound waves traveling through the cochlear fluid trigger nerve impulses | 4 | |
| 5337850636 | Inner Ear | the innermost part of the ear, containing the cochlea, semicircular canals, and vestibular sacs | 5 | |
| 5337850637 | Sensorineural Hearing Loss | hearing loss caused by damage to the cochlea's receptor cells or to the auditory nerves. (Also called nerve deafness.) | 6 | |
| 5337850638 | Conduction Hearing Loss | hearing loss caused by damage to the mechanical system that conducts sound waves to the cochlea. | 7 | |
| 5337850639 | Cochlear Implant | a device for converting sounds into electrical signals and stimulating the auditory nerve through electrodes threaded into the cochlea | 8 | |
| 5337850640 | Place Theory | in hearing, the theory that links the pitch we hear with the place where the cochlea's membrane is stimulated | 9 | |
| 5337850641 | Frequency Theory | in hearing, the theory that the rate of nerve impulses traveling up the auditory nerve matches the frequency of a tone, thus enabling us to sense its pitch | 10 | |
| 5337858441 | Volley principle | Alternating frequencies combine to form pitch | 11 |
