Hearing perception, conceptual artwork C013 / 9458
Hearing perception. Conceptual artwork of a piano key (right) blurring into two. This represents the phenomenon where a single auditory stimulus is heard as two separate sounds or tones, which may differ over time or in pitch. This is known as diplacusis binauralis or interaural pitch difference (IPD)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Hearing Perception" by Stephen Wood from Science Photo Library showcases a thought-provoking conceptual artwork. The image features a piano key on the right side, gradually blurring into two distinct keys. This artistic representation symbolizes the fascinating phenomenon known as diplacusis binauralis or interaural pitch difference (IPD). Diplacusis is an auditory condition where a single sound or tone is perceived as two separate sounds, which can vary in pitch over time. This intriguing concept reflects the complexities of our hearing perception and highlights the intricate workings of our auditory system. The blurred piano key serves as a visual metaphor for individuals experiencing this condition, portraying their struggle to differentiate between tones accurately. Through this artwork, we gain insight into the challenges faced by those with hearing disorders and how it affects their ability to perceive music and other sounds clearly. Wood's illustration beautifully combines elements of biology, physiology, and music to depict this indistinctness in perception. It invites viewers to contemplate the delicate balance between physiological processes and our interpretation of sensory stimuli. Overall, this striking artwork not only captivates us visually but also encourages us to delve deeper into understanding hearing loss conditions such as diplacusis binauralis while appreciating the beauty found within scientific concepts.
