The word "hearing", when used alone, has several possible meanings in the English language. Among these are the following:
- Hearing is the sense by which sound is perceived.
- In law, a hearing is a proceeding before a court or other decisionmaking body or officer. (See also due process, trial, evidence.)

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Hearing is one of the traditional five senses, and refers to the ability to detect sound.In human beings, hearing is performed by the ears, which also perform the function of balance, a sense in itself but not one of the traditional list (due to Aristotle). This is in common with most mammals. Many other organisms also have some form of hearing, either by some sort of ear, or by other structures, or by a combination.
Normal human ears are said to be sensitive in the range of frequency of 30Hz to 12KHz. Some individuals are able to hear up to 22KHz, and high-quality sound reproduction equipment often goes up to 16KHz or even beyond. Frequencies capable of human hearing are called audio. Frequencies higher than audio are called ultrasonic, while frequencies below audio are called infrasonic.
Some organisms are able to hear ultrasound and/or infrasound. Some batss use ultrasound for echo location while in flight. Dogs are able to hear ultrasound, which is the principle of 'silent' dog whistles. Snakes sense infrasound through their bellies, and there is evidence that whales and elephants may use it for communication. See sound for hearing ranges of various organisms.
There is some evidence of human ability to unconsiously detect ultrasound and infrasound. Infrasound has been found to affect the emotions, see infrasound. Some organ pipes sound up to 22KHz.

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Within some criminal justice systemss, a preliminary hearing (evidentiary hearing) is a meeting to determine whether, and to what extent, criminal charges and civil cause of actions will be heard (by a court), what evidence will be admitted, and what else must be done (before a case can proceed). At such a hearing, the defendant may be assisted by counsel. In the US (and some other locations), a person may be charged, instead, by a grand jury; where counsel is not permitted. Should court decide in the affirmative, a formal indictment will be made; and a trial date set. If the defendant feels that evidence against them is "strong", then they may request a plea bargain.Some important questions, generally addressed in such a hearing, are:
See also: grand jury
- Did the alleged crime occur within the court's jurisdiction?
- Is there probable cause, to believe that the defendant committed the crime?
