Interpret Loudness
The process of perceiving and understanding the intensity or volume of sound.
Hair Cell's Response
The reaction of specialized sensory cells in the inner ear that convert sound vibrations into neural signals which are then interpreted by the brain.
Activated Hair Cells
In the inner ear, these are sensory cells activated by sound vibrations which play a key role in transforming sound waves into electrical signals for the brain to interpret.
