It serves to transmit sound as nerve impulses to the brain. During the first few months in the womb, sound is first conducted through the body fluids and muscle and bone mass in the form of tactile sensations. By the 5th month of pregnancy, <strong>the auditory system is sufficiently developed<\/strong> to perceive sounds through the ears, but also through the bones, muscles and body fluids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-medium-font-size\" style=\"color:#00b2de\">The womb is the child&#8217;s first place of sound. The child hears through its whole body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#5c5c5c\">Between the 26th and 28th week, fetal hearing begins. A child perceives sounds from the mother&#8217;s heartbeat, digestive and circulatory systems. This is the first music a child hears. The sound level is about 30 decibels, similar to a whisper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#5c5c5c\">At around 5 or 6 months, a foetus now hears sounds from outside, such as voices, music and street noise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-color wp-block-heading\" id=\"ce-que-le-foetus-percoit-le-mieux\" style=\"color:#3c7a95;font-size:24px\">What a fetus perceives best<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#5c5c5c\">A foetus distinguishes between the human voice and other sounds. A foetus is also very sensitive to <strong>variations in rhythm<\/strong> and <strong>intonation<\/strong>, and is better at distinguishing low frequencies (father&#8217;s voice) or bass sounds and less so at high frequencies and high pitches. A foetus also hears its own heartbeat, which is amplified by the amniotic fluid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#5c5c5c\">A foetus hears its mother&#8217;s voice from both inside and outside. As high-pitched sounds are very difficult to hear, the mother&#8217;s voice changes. A fetus is <strong>very sensitive to the sounds and intonations of his\/her mother tongue<\/strong>, which facilitates rapid adaptation to its environment and learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#5c5c5c\">In words spoken aloud by the mother, well isolated and well articulated, a fetus recognises vowels at 60%. What a foetus perceives most, is the general pace of speech, <strong>the prosody (melody and rhythm)<\/strong> which reaches it unchanged. In short, what a foetus hears best is the music of the language. This is why <em>music<\/em> plays a fundamental role in the toddler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#5c5c5c\">The sung voice is better perceived, because singing contains harmonics that enhance the quality of the sounds. The infant seems to &#8220;remember&#8221; songs and stories that it heard during its time in the womb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-medium-font-size\" style=\"color:#00b2de\">During pregnancy, it is important that you talk to your baby, sing nursery rhymes, or tell simple stories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-color wp-block-heading\" id=\"attention-aux-bruits\" style=\"color:#3c7a95;font-size:24px\">!! Beware of noises<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#5c5c5c\">Although the frequent sounds heard during pregnancy are appropriate for the harmonious development of the child, it is important to be careful with noisy environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-medium-font-size\" style=\"color:#00b2de\">In particular, sound stimulation created by placing headphones on the mother&#8217;s stomach should be avoided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-background\" style=\"background-color:#00b2de\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group container grid-science\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group grid-gauche\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"has-white-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\" id=\"l-enfant-l-ouie-et-les-sons\"><strong>The child, hearing and sound<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:16px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background has-white-background-color has-white-color separation-petit-page-bleu\"\/>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background separation-petit-page-bleu\" style=\"background-color:#00b2de;color:#00b2de\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color\">At birth, the auditory system is the<strong> most developed<\/strong> of the five senses. During the first six months of life, it develops very rapidly. Immediately after birth, the outer and middle parts of the ear are gradually emptied of amniotic fluid and gradually adapted to the surrounding air. However, fluid still remains in the inner ear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color\">Thus, for about ten days, a newborn is between fluid and air. When the inner ear empties, babies temporarily loses high-pitched sounds. They must gradually get used to <strong>the new sounds transmitted exclusively by air<\/strong>. This learning process takes place gradually over several weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color\"><strong>The organs of sight and hearing<\/strong> are connected. As soon as children hear a noise, they turn their head towards the source of the noise. The joint work of the auditory and visual senses is an adaptation mechanism that aims at an optimal perception of the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color\">At birth, children hear and discriminate sounds and all the music in the world. They have a musical ear.<br>However, by the end of the first year, children lose the universality of their hearing and become specialists in their sound environment.<br>From the age of 6 months, they can only hear the vowels of their mother tongue and the consonants of languages other than that of their environment.<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-white-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\" id=\"l-enfant-l-ouie-et-les-sons\"><strong>The different stages of hearing<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image heightauto\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/5senses4kids.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/confused-baby-boy-hand-touch-ear-2021-08-30-05-58-54-utc-1024x718.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1282\" width=\"1140\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-white-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\" id=\"entre-0-a-3-mois-une-ecoute-receptive\">Between 0 and 3 months : receptive listening<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"has-white-color has-text-color wp-block-list\"><li>Infants recognise their mother&#8217;s voice.<\/li><li>They instinctively turn their head in the direction of a familiar voice.<\/li><li>They discover the vocal exchange around 2 months.
