Bien qu\u2019on y pense tr\u00e8s peu, vos oreilles seront bien utiles pendant cette sortie. Elles permettront notamment d\u2019\u00e9couter les sons qui vous entourent, mais aussi de d\u00e9terminer de quel endroit ils proviennent. En r\u00e9alit\u00e9, les oreilles font une partie du travail, mais le cerveau en fait une grande part aussi.<\/p>\n<h3>\u00c0 quoi \u00e7a sert d\u2019avoir deux oreilles?<\/h3>\n<p>Pour le cerveau <a href=\"https:\/\/becausesoundmatters.ca\/fr\/a-map-of-your-hearing\/\">Mais repartons de la base :<\/a>Pour bien faire tout son travail, le syst\u00e8me auditif a besoin de recevoir de l\u2019information provenant des deux oreilles. Cette information est parfois pareille, mais la plupart du temps, elle est tr\u00e8s l\u00e9g\u00e8rement diff\u00e9rente. Ce sont ces tr\u00e8s l\u00e9g\u00e8res diff\u00e9rences qui permettent au cerveau de faire plusieurs t\u00e2ches, mais plus particuli\u00e8rement de s\u00e9parer la parole du bruit et de d\u00e9terminer la provenance d\u2019un son (localisation). De plus, recevoir l\u2019information des deux oreilles permet une l\u00e9g\u00e8re augmentation du volume, ce qui facilite habituellement l\u2019\u00e9coute.<\/p>\n<h2>Localiser un son<\/h2>\n<p>C\u2019est le m\u00eame principe quand vient le temps de trouver d\u2019o\u00f9 vient un son. Il arrive aux deux oreilles avec une force diff\u00e9rente selon sa provenance. Le cerveau analyse la diff\u00e9rence entre les deux et d\u00e9cide selon les d\u00e9calages de quel endroit il provient. Le son est arriv\u00e9 en premier et plus fort \u00e0 droite? Il provient surement de la droite. Le son est arriv\u00e9 en m\u00eame temps et avec la m\u00eame force aux deux oreilles? Il vient probablement d\u2019en avant ou d\u2019en arri\u00e8re.<\/p>\n<p>Si les deux oreilles n\u2019entendent pas au m\u00eame niveau, les indices sur lesquelles se fie habituellement le cerveau ne sont plus les bons puisque la diff\u00e9rence entre ce qui est entendu \u00e0 droite et ce qui est entendu \u00e0 gauche n\u2019est plus l\u00e9g\u00e8re. Le cerveau ne peut donc plus se fier sur ces indices pour d\u00e9terminer d\u2019o\u00f9 provient le son. Il devient donc plus difficile de choisir ce qui est la conversation et ce qui est le bruit.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5467\" src=\"https:\/\/becausesoundmatters.ca\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Two_ears_one_brain_1-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"615\" srcset=\"https:\/\/becausesoundmatters.ca\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Two_ears_one_brain_1-1.png 640w, https:\/\/becausesoundmatters.ca\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Two_ears_one_brain_1-1-300x288.png 300w, https:\/\/becausesoundmatters.ca\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Two_ears_one_brain_1-1-600x577.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Parole dans le bruit<\/h2>\n<p>Lorsqu\u2019on est au restaurant avec des amis et qu\u2019on a une conversation dans le bruit, on se placera le plus souvent face \u00e0 face. Ce n\u2019est pas simplement par politesse, c\u2019est qu\u2019en fait c\u2019est le meilleur angle pour que notre cerveau analyse la situation. En effet, en plus des informations visuelles du visage de nos amis, le cerveau peut diff\u00e9rencier l\u2019information importante (la conversation) de celle qui ne l\u2019est pas (le bruit). Contrairement au fait d'entendre avec seulement une oreille, utiliser l'information des deux oreilles permet au cerveau de remplir les trous dans les situations d'\u00e9coute difficile. Par exemple, si vous \u00eates au bar avec vos amis et qu'il y a un groupe bruyant \u00e0 votre droite, l'information arrivant \u00e0 l'oreille droite ne sera pas tr\u00e8s claire compar\u00e9 \u00e0 celle arrivant de la gauche. En utilisant les informations des deux oreilles, le cerveau est capable de d\u00e9tecter la parole et de se concentrer sur ce qui nous int\u00e9resse dans cet environnement bruyant. Dans cette m\u00eame situation, si vous n'entendiez que d'une seule oreille (surdit\u00e9 unilat\u00e9rale), disons la droite, vous auriez beaucoup de difficult\u00e9 \u00e0 bien comprendre ce qui se dit puisque votre \"bonne oreille\" serait face au bruit. N'ayant l'information que d'une seule oreille, le cerveau aurait alors beaucoup plus de difficult\u00e9s \u00e0 s\u00e9parer la voix de vos amis de celle du groupe bruyant.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5465\" src=\"https:\/\/becausesoundmatters.ca\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Two_ears_one_brain_2-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/becausesoundmatters.ca\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Two_ears_one_brain_2-1.png 640w, https:\/\/becausesoundmatters.ca\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Two_ears_one_brain_2-1-288x300.png 288w, https:\/\/becausesoundmatters.ca\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Two_ears_one_brain_2-1-600x625.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Travailler fort<\/h2>\n<p>Les gens ayant une audition asym\u00e9trique doivent donc travailler plus fort, surtout dans les environnements difficiles.

There are a number of perceptual benefits to binaural hearing (both ears) that help us function better in our daily interactions and experiences. Volume Boost! For the brain to make sense of the sounds in the environment, the auditory system needs to analyze the input coming from both ears. Input from both ears provides the auditory system with a slight boost in volume (binaural summation) which, in general, makes things easier to hear. Localization Another interesting concept is how our brain uses the information from both ears to determine where a sound is coming from. This is called localization. Here, the input signals from both ears are compared against each other to determine slight timing and volume differences between the left and right input signals. A sound will be louder and will reach the ear faster on the side where the sound came from. For example, if you hear a loud crash, for safety reasons it is important to understand where it came from. Your brain will quickly analyze the signals coming from both ears to determine whether the crash occurred on your right or left. If the input from the left ear was slightly louder and arrived quicker, the brain can deduce that the crash came from the left. When an individual has a unilateral or asymmetrical hearing loss, these timing and volume cues from both ears become distorted and often the brain is unable to make proper use of them. Speech in Noise When we are in a noisy environment, let\u2019s say a loud restaurant, we typically want to be face-to-face with our friends. Not only is this polite, the visual cues from the talker\u2019s lips and facial expressions help us to fill in the blanks that are missed or misheard due to the noisy environment. In addition to the visual cues, the brain uses the information from both ears in noisy situations to help differentiate what is important (speech) and what is not (background noise). Using the signals from both ears allows the brain to fill in the blanks in complex listening environments compared to listening with just one ear. For example, imagine you are at a bar talking with a friend and there is a large, noisy party sitting to the right of you. The information from the right ear may be messy\/distorted from the noisy party while the information from the left ear will be clearer. Using the information from both ears the brain is better able to detect and focus on the speech you want to hear in the noisy environment. If you were in the exact same situation but had left unilateral hearing loss (you can only hear from your right ear) you would have a very difficult time communicating with your friend as the \u201cgood ear\u201d would be facing the direction of the noisy party. The brain would have a much harder time segregating your friend\u2019s voice from the background party noise when listening with only one ear. Increased Listening Effort After reading about some of the binaural cues that improve our perception and understanding of what we are hearing it would make sense that is it generally EASIER to hear and listen when both ears are working properly. And this is absolutely the case! Binaural listening decreases the effort required to listen and understand. People with unilateral hearing loss must work harder to hear and comprehend their environments, especially in noise. For many, a quiet environment does not create a hearing challenge because there is no competing sound for the brain to distinguish from but as soon as background noise is present, individuals with unilateral hearing loss are at an extra disadvantage and must work harder to hear their friends and family. Take Home Message In summary, having two ears allows us to make better sense of our environments, hear speech more clearly, distinguish between speech and noise in complex environments, and make it easier to hear and communicate with the people around us. Understanding the perceptual and functional benefits of binaural hearing is important for individuals with unilateral hearing loss to understand that they, maybe unknowingly, are working much harder to communicate and interact with the world around them.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":5461,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[77],"tags":[94,95,91,93,148,97,92,193,96],"class_list":["post-5458","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-audiology","tag-binaural","tag-binaural-hearing","tag-ears","tag-hearing","tag-hearing-in-noise","tag-listening-effort","tag-localization","tag-resources","tag-speech-in-noise"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Two Ears, One Brain - because sound matters<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/becausesoundmatters.ca\/fr\/two-ears-one-brain\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"fr_FR\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Two Ears, One Brain - because sound matters\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Having two ears is better than one when it comes to listening and communicating with the world around us.

Understanding the perceptual and functional benefits of binaural hearing is important for individuals with unilateral hearing loss to understand that they, maybe unknowingly, are working much harder to communicate and interact with the world around them.","og_url":"https:\/\/becausesoundmatters.ca\/fr\/two-ears-one-brain","og_site_name":"because sound matters","article_published_time":"2020-08-18T18:49:39+00:00","article_modified_time":"2020-11-27T18:23:14+00:00","og_image":[{"width":1200,"height":1200,"url":"https:\/\/becausesoundmatters.ca\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Picture-for-BH-whitepaper3_TIF1.jpg","type":"image\/jpeg"}],"author":"The Audiology Team","twitter_card":"summary_large_image","twitter_misc":{"\u00c9crit par":"The Audiology Team","Dur\u00e9e de lecture estim\u00e9e":"4 minutes"},"schema":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https:\/\/becausesoundmatters.ca\/fr\/two-ears-one-brain","url":"https:\/\/becausesoundmatters.ca\/fr\/two-ears-one-brain","name":"Two Ears, One Brain - because sound matters","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/becausesoundmatters.ca\/#website"},"primaryImageOfPage":{"@id":"https:\/\/becausesoundmatters.ca\/fr\/two-ears-one-brain#primaryimage"},"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/becausesoundmatters.ca\/fr\/two-ears-one-brain#primaryimage"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/becausesoundmatters.ca\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Picture-for-BH-whitepaper3_TIF1.jpg","datePublished":"2020-08-18T18:49:39+00:00","dateModified":"2020-11-27T18:23:14+00:00","author":{"@id":"https:\/\/becausesoundmatters.ca\/#\/schema\/person\/73567234a51148d3c6bec25ea238edc5"},"breadcrumb":{"@id":"https:\/\/becausesoundmatters.ca\/fr\/two-ears-one-brain#breadcrumb"},"inLanguage":"fr-FR","potentialAction":[{"@type":"ReadAction","target":["https:\/\/becausesoundmatters.ca\/fr\/two-ears-one-brain"]}]},{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"fr-FR","@id":"https:\/\/becausesoundmatters.ca\/fr\/two-ears-one-brain#primaryimage","url":"https:\/\/becausesoundmatters.ca\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Picture-for-BH-whitepaper3_TIF1.jpg","contentUrl":"https:\/\/becausesoundmatters.ca\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Picture-for-BH-whitepaper3_TIF1.jpg","width":1200,"height":1200},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/becausesoundmatters.ca\/fr\/two-ears-one-brain#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https:\/\/becausesoundmatters.ca\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Two Ears, One Brain"}]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https:\/\/becausesoundmatters.ca\/#website","url":"https:\/\/becausesoundmatters.ca\/","name":"because sound matters","description":"Juste un autre site WordPress","potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https:\/\/becausesoundmatters.ca\/?s={search_term_string}"},"query-input":{"@type":"PropertyValueSpecification","valueRequired":true,"valueName":"search_term_string"}}],"inLanguage":"fr-FR"},{"@type":"Person","@id":"https:\/\/becausesoundmatters.ca\/#\/schema\/person\/73567234a51148d3c6bec25ea238edc5","name":"L'\u00e9quipe d'audiologie","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"fr-FR","@id":"https:\/\/becausesoundmatters.ca\/#\/schema\/person\/image\/","url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/09748ed75aa427cc75aa6555f270a187?s=96&d=mm&r=g","contentUrl":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/09748ed75aa427cc75aa6555f270a187?s=96&d=mm&r=g","caption":"The Audiology Team"},"url":"https:\/\/becausesoundmatters.ca\/fr\/author\/admin"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/becausesoundmatters.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5458","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/becausesoundmatters.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/becausesoundmatters.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/becausesoundmatters.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/becausesoundmatters.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5458"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/becausesoundmatters.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5458\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6168,"href":"https:\/\/becausesoundmatters.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5458\/revisions\/6168"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/becausesoundmatters.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5461"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/becausesoundmatters.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5458"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/becausesoundmatters.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5458"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/becausesoundmatters.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5458"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
