Hearing (or audition; adjectival form: "auditory" or "aural") is one of the traditional five senses. It is the ability to perceive sound by detecting vibrations via an organ such as the ear. The inability to hear is called deafness.

In humans and other vertebrates, hearing is performed primarily by the auditory system: vibrations are detected by the ear and transduced into nerve impulses that are perceived by the brain (primarily in the temporal lobe). Like touch, audition requires sensitivity to the movement of molecules in the world outside the organism. Both hearing and touch are types of mechanosensation.

Hearing tests

Main article: Hearing test

Hearing can be measured by behavioral tests using an audiometer. Electrophysiological tests of hearing can provide accurate measurements of hearing thresholds even in unconscious subjects. Such tests include auditory brainstem evoked potentials (ABR), otoacoustic emissions (OAE) and electrocochleography (EchoG). Technical advances in these tests have allowed hearing screening for infants to become widespread.

What modern day guitarists are good for listening to?
Q. What modern day guitarists are good for listening to? I'm starting to learn how to improvise on my guitar, but I need some influences. I like stuff like what Matthew from Muse does, and Tom Morello, but unfortunately, these are only two I know. I find it hard to listen to the old stuff, what guitarists in the last 15 years or so is good for listening to?

A. I think Jerry Cantrell out of Alice in chains and solo is awesome, also Slash of Velvet revolver, the new guy in Metallica is cool. I tend to prefer older rock and metal better from 80's and 90's. Zakk Wylde is not bad and also try looking up some Dimebag Darrel on youtube. It just mainly depends on the style/type of music you're into. I tend to play more rock/grunge type music on guitar but that's just what I'm into. My all time favorite guitarist is Randy Rhoads from Ozzy's band in the 80's. I never get tired of listening to him play. He passed away like 27 years ago.

A. I am going to guess the difference between listening and hearing what the person is saying, and sometimes more importantly what they are not saying in a situation. The tone of voice and the speed of talk might factor in. Perception could be a persons anxiety in a situation.
