Hearing is one of the five traditional senses and refers to the ability to perceive sound through the detection of vibrations or pressure waves in the air (or in other media like water). The process of hearing involves several key components: 1. **Sound Waves**: Sound is created by vibrations that travel through air (or other media) as waves. These waves have properties such as frequency (pitch) and amplitude (loudness).
