  2. Saccular acoustic sensitivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saccular_Acoustic_Sensitivity

    Saccular acoustic sensitivity is a measurement of the ear's affectability to sound. The saccule's normal function is to keep the body balanced, but it is believed to have some hearing function for special frequencies and tones. Saccular acoustic sensitivity is considered to be simply an extension of the sense of hearing through the use of the ...

    HAE studies the (presumably ancestral) monitoring functions of the human auditory system. These monitory auditory functions are used by human auditory system to build a perceptual representation of the close environment, orient and navigate, assess resources (food, water, shelter) and danger (e.g., flooding, predators), opportunities for action, and the general health of the environment.

    Aural Diversity describes the plurality of the sense of hearing, encompassing the whole of human and animal nature and extending to machine listening. [1] The Aural Diversity Infographic shows its scope, including: the many changes in so-called “normal” hearing that occur over a lifetime; the universal variations that affect everybody's hearing; the medically identifiable hearing ...
