multiple choice question
what is binaural hearing?

the ability to compare the pitch of sounds
the ability to localize sounds in space
the ability to compare the amplitude of sounds

need help? review these concept resources.

Explanation:

Binaural hearing refers to the use of both ears to hear. One of its key functions is sound localization. When sound reaches both ears, the slight differences in time (inter - aural time difference) and intensity (inter - aural intensity difference) between the sounds received by each ear are processed by the brain to determine the source of the sound in space. Pitch comparison is mainly related to the perception of frequency by the cochlea, and amplitude comparison is more about the loudness perception, but binaural hearing's most characteristic function among the options is sound localization.

Answer:

the ability to localize sounds in space
