Everything that humans hear is in the form of waves (波).Just as the eye sees light wares in the form of
colors, the ear and the eye Curs these different waves into signals that the
brain (大腦) can make sense of.
The ears and brain have an Amazing amities to
recognize（識別）particular sounds. For example, a mother
often can tell when her baby is crying even if there are other crying babies in
the same room. This is because the sound of her baby’s cry has special meaning
to her and the brain has recorded is importance.
The ability to recognize sounds improves with
experiences. As the brain receives information about sounds from day to day, it
stores the information in its memory. When the brain hears new sounds, it gives
meaning to them based on the information already in the memory. This is why
certain words or songs can make a person happy. Often it is not the words or
songs themselves that cause this feeling. The sounds are connected to happy
memories for that person.
After hearing process controlled by the brain is to
decide where a sound is coming from. One ear is usually closer to the source (來源) of a sound than the other ear is. Sound waves are
stronger when they reach the ear that is closer. They also reach the closer ear
first. The brain recognizes these differences and uses them to decide the
location of the source of the sound.
