HEARING (in Physiology,) audition ; Lat. 

 auditus; Fr. I' audit ion, sens de 1'ouie; Germ. 

 das Gehor, Gehorsinn. Of all the senses, that 

 of hearing is the most valuable to man in his 

 social condition, for without it all interchange 

 of ideas through the medium of a spoken 

 language would be impossible. To it indeed, 

 as a distinguished metaphysician has remarked, 

 we are indirectly indebted for the use of verbal 

 language. By the sense of hearing men and 

 animals take cognizance of sounds and distin- 

 guish their varieties, the almost innumerable 

 multitude of which may well excite our admi- 

 ration of the sense. " Who," says the excel- 

 lent Derham, " who but an intelligent Being, 

 what less than an omnipotent and infinitely 

 wise God, could contrive and make such a fine 

 body, such a medium, so susceptible of every 

 impression that the sense of hearing hath occasion
