Anatomy & Physiology of Hearing
- Anatomy & Physiology of Hearing
Develop a clear understanding of how sound enters the human body, how the auditory system processes it, and how vibration can be perceived through both hearing and bodily sensation. This module provides the anatomical and physiological foundation needed to understand the use of singing bowls, gongs and vibration in sound-healing practice.
✅ Anatomy & Physiology of the Ear – structure and functions of the outer, middle and inner ear
✅ How We Hear & Process Sound – from sound waves entering the ear to neural signals reaching the brain
✅ Air Conduction & Bone Conduction – understanding the two important pathways through which sound reaches the inner ear
✅ Auditory Pathways & Sound Perception – how the nervous system receives, transmits and interprets auditory information
✅ Sound vs. Vibration Perception – understanding the difference between hearing sound and physically sensing vibration through the body
✅ Sound Transmission & Intensity – how sound travels through different media and how frequency, intensity and sensitivity influence our perception
✅ Hearing Safety in Sound Healing – safe sound exposure, appropriate intensity and responsible use of singing bowls and gongs during individual and group sessions
