    Kikazaru (聞かざる), "does not hear", covering his ears; Iwazaru (言わざる), "does not speak", covering his mouth. [2] Lafcadio Hearn refers to them as the three mystic apes.

    This physical phenomenon, which can be measured by instruments other than our ears, exists regardless of human perception (seeing or hearing) of it. Putting these lines of thought together, we can say that although the tree falling on the island sends off air waves, it does not produce sound if no human is within the distance where the air ...

  4. Diplacusis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diplacusis

    If one ear has normal thresholds while the other has sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL), diplacusis may be present, as much as 15–20% (for example 200 Hz one ear => 240 Hz in the other). [citation needed] The pitch may be difficult to match because the SNHL ear hears the sound "fuzzy". Bilateral SNHL gives less diplacusis, but pitch ...

  7. Rinne test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rinne_test

    The Rinne test (/ ˈ r ɪ n ə / RIN-ə) is used primarily to evaluate loss of hearing in one ear. [1] It compares perception of sounds transmitted by air conduction to those transmitted by bone conduction through the mastoid. Thus, one can quickly screen for the presence of conductive hearing loss. [2]

  9. Echoic memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echoic_memory

    Auditory stimuli are received by the ear one at a time before they can be processed and understood. It can be said that the echoic memory is conceptually like a "holding tank", where a sound is unprocessed (or held back) until the following sound is heard, and only then can it be made meaningful.
