Hearing Phonemic

Phonemic hearing is a special type of hearing that allows us to distinguish speech sounds even in environmental conditions when other signals may overlap each other. This type of hearing is very important for our communication. The process of speech perception occurs automatically and does not require attention from our consciousness, just as we see or smell.

Phonemic awareness is closely related to our general hearing and is based on the ability to recognize and correctly identify the sounds that make up speech. This type of hearing includes both speech intelligibility and the ability to hear key words, as well as recognize intonation.

The process of speech recognition begins with the perception of sounds and their change to simpler elements such as linear, pitch, duration, intensity
