Have you ever noticed that a family member or friend hears a sound that we can't perceive? Our hearing ability can vary depending on tiny nanopores located in the ear. Depending on the size of these auditory agents, each person is able to perceive sound differently.
According to a study by MIIT, scientists have analyzed and demonstrated that the ear's hearing capacity is closely related to the fluidity of the tectorial membrane. This is a surface on which tiny nanopores are located, and, depending on their size, they provide a person with greater or lesser auditory selectivity.
In addition to the structure of the ear itself, there are other factors that influence our hearing ability, such as age:
Guess who can hear up to 80 kHz?
Animals, indeed!

What other factors influence why we don't all hear the same thing?
In addition to the structure of the ear itself, there are other factors that influence our hearing ability, such as age:
- Children are able to hear from 16Hz to 25kHz
- The elderly can hear up to 12 kHz
Guess who can hear up to 80 kHz?
Animals, indeed!
