Abstract:
A general review of the bibliography concerning the embryonic development of the auditory receptor provides a better knowledge of this topic, and anatomical basis of prenatal hearing, the existence of which has recently been demonstrated. The auditory receptor appears to be functional from the second trimester of pregnancy, but hearing seems mainly possible after 35 weeks.
