The first sense
The hearing is the first of the five senses to develop and its aim is to transform the acoustic stimuli into auditory sensation (sounds), taking sound signals from the external environment and to transform them to send them to the brain, where they are encoded and recognized.
The complex system of this mechanism is the auditory apparatus, which let us to decode an acoustic wave and hear a definite sound, with precise intensity, power and volume features.
The ear is divided into three parts: the outer ear, which corresponds to the auricle, which collects the sound waves and protect the inner parts the middle ear, consisting of a membrane called the eardrum and the tympanic case; the inner ear, whose heart is the cochlea, is where the auditory energy is processed and transformed into electrical impulses and then sent to the brain.

The fourth issue of IDEA Tourism is special because it includes both July and August issues.

IDEA Tourism wish you a great and pleasant summer. See you in September with the Magazine and many news!
