AB HUMAN  EXPERIENCE  IS  ENRICHED  by  the  ability  to  distinguish  a  remarkable  range  of  sounds—from  the  intimacy  of  a  whisper  to  the  warmth  of  a  conversation,  from  the  complexity  of  a  symphony  to  the  roar  of  a  stadium.  Hearing  begins  when  the  sensory  cells  of  the  cochlea,  the  receptor  organ  of  the  inner  ear,  transduce  sound  energy  into  electrical  signals  and  forward  them  to  the  brain.  Our  ability  to  recognize  small  differences  in  sounds  stems  from  the  cochlea’s  capacity  to  distinguish  among  frequency  components,  their  amplitudes,  and  their  relative  timing.
