| Summary: | <p>The main difference between the two ears is that they are not in the same place [1]. Use of both the ears to perceive the world of sound around us is defined as Binaural hearing. Just as we use two eyes to see in three dimensions, we use two ears for "dimensional hearing". Binaural hearing is literally opposite of monaural hearing. It allows us to (a) 'map' the sound in space, (b) pick out soft sounds, (c) pick out distant sound or speech and (d) separate a single voice from surrounding background noise. Among the mammals, human is considered to be the one gifted with most developed communication skill.</p> |
