KembaraXtra-Psychology - auditory adaptation
Auditory adaptation is a temporary reduction in sensitivity to tones of particular frequencies after prolonged exposure to an unchanging sound. When the inducing sound is very loud and the resulting sensitivity loss is more than brief, the effect is usually called auditory fatigue.

KembaraXtra-Psychology - auditory beat
An auditory beat is a rhythmic waxing and waning in loudness produced when two tones with slightly different frequencies are played together, due to wave interference that alternately reinforces and cancels amplitude; for instance, 256 Hz played with 260 Hz produces a 4 Hz beat, and piano tuners use beat counting. Beats can also occur when the tones are presented separately to each ear (binaural beats).

KembaraXtra-Psychology - auditory canal
Auditory canal may refer to either the external canal leading from the outer ear to the tympanic membrane (external meatus) or the internal canal in the temporal bone containing the vestibulocochlear nerve (internal meatus). If unspecified, it usually means the external canal, but careful usage avoids that ambiguity; it is compared with the Eustachian tube.

KembaraXtra-Psychology - auditory cortex
Auditory cortex includes primary auditory cortex and auditory association cortex, responsible for processing sound information. In each hemisphere, primary auditory cortex is located in Heschl’s gyrus (a transverse gyrus across the superior temporal gyrus/temporal operculum) and contains frequency-specific bands arranged tonotopically, representing inputs from both ears. In the usually left hemisphere, it includes Wernicke’s area, and auditory association cortex lies adjacent in the superior temporal gyrus. It connects with structures such as the inferior colliculus and medial geniculate nucleus.

KembaraXtra-Psychology - auditory egocentre (auditory egocenter)
The auditory egocentre is the perceived point near the center of the skull where auditory sensations seem to converge; US spelling is auditory egocenter, and it relates to the broader concept of an egocentre.
