| auditory organ | Archaic term for gustatory organ. (05 Mar 2000) |
| auditory ossicles | The small bones of the middle ear; they are articulated to form a chain for the transmission of sound from the tympanic membrane to the oval window. Synonym: ossicula auditus, ear bones, ossicular chain. (05 Mar 2000) |

| auditory perception | The process whereby auditory stimuli are selected, organised and interpreted by the organism; includes speech discrimination. (12 Dec 1998) |
