Hearing is one of the five classical senses, the others being sight, smell, touch and taste. Each sense modality is a means for our brain to detect light and sound waves, as well as molecules floating in air, fluid or hard objects, in order to enable the brain to understand where we stand in our world.
In popular imagination, sight is often rated above hearing in order of importance, but as many people can attest to, having one or both ears not hearing pro- perly can be a real pain.
