Abstract

The paper presents a brief description of developmental stages of the human hearing organ. Attention was brought to the mechanism of receiving and processing auditory information in a child in the womb. Bekesy’s travelling wave theory does not provide a sufficient explanation of these processes. There are no descriptions of auditory mechanisms on a molecular level. Further in the study, attention is drawn to the beneficial effect of early stimulation of the child’s auditory receptor from the second half of pregnancy and after childbirth.
