auditory coding

Auditory coding refers to how our brain interprets sound information received from our ears. When sound waves reach the ear, they are transformed into electrical signals by the inner ear’s hair cells. These signals then travel to the brain via the auditory nerve. The brain processes various features like pitch, loudness, and direction, allowing us to recognize and understand sounds such as speech, music, or environmental noises. This complex process enables us to make sense of the sounds around us quickly and accurately, supporting our communication and awareness of our environment.
