Abstract
This chapter begins a new aspect of the science of acoustics, the study of the human listener. We continue to proceed in an analytical way by studying the physiology of hearing. The physiology begins with anatomy—the science of where things are in the body, what they look like, how they are connected, and how these facts give clues about physiological function.
