Reception of Sound
Habituation — 85% of all primary auditory neurons become less sensitive to sounds if they persist unchanged. Musicians use changes in key and vibrato to counteract this phenomenon
Pitch — Most adults can detect pitches between 20 and 20,000 Hz, but pitches above 16,000 Hz are perceived as hiss.
Relationship to age — As age increases, range of hearing decreases.
