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.
