| Middle ear | The chamber between the eardrum and cochlea containing three tiny bones that concentrate the vibrations of the eardrum on the cochlea’s oval window |
| Cochlea | A coiled, bony, fluid-filled tube in the inner ear; sound waves travel through the cochlear fluid trigger nerve impulses |
| Inner ear | The innermost part of the ear, containing the cochlea, semicircular canals, and vestibular sacs |

| Conduction hearing loss | A less common form of hearing loss, caused by damage to the mechanical system that conducts sound waves to the cochlea |
| Cochlear implant | A device for converting sounds into electrical signals and stimulating the auditory nerve though electrodes threaded into the cochlea |
| Place theory | In hearing, the theory that links the pitch we hear with the place where the cochlea’s membrane is stimulated |
| Frequency theory | In hearing, the theory that the rate of nerve impulses traveling up the auditory nerve matches the frequency of a tone, thus enabling us to sense its pitch |
| Touch | Our tactical sense, vital and right from the start aids our development |
| Pain | One of the four vital skin senses |
| Gate-control theory of pain | The theory that the spinal cord contains a neurological “gate” that blocks pain signals or allows them to pass on to the brain |

| Kinesthesia | Our movement sense, our system for sensing the position and movement of individual body arts |
| Vestibular sense | Our sense of body movement and position that enables our sense of balance |
