The Ear

This is the sense organ used to hear. The ear detects vibration of sound around us and then analyzes it.

The ear also helps us maintain balance.

Some people are born without the ability to hear; these people are deaf and learn sign language to communicate with others.

Listening to loud music constantly, ear infections or head injuries can cause hearing loss, this is when one or both ears can hear little or no sound.

The ear is divided into 3 parts which help deliver sound to the brain to interpret.
