The '''temporal lobes''' are two areas of the [[brain]] located above the [[ears]], near the temples (hence the name). Auditory information travels directly to the temporal lobes, making them the primary site where [[hearing]] is registered. Thus, damage to the temporal lobes can lead to severe auditory inhibition.
About.com declares concerning the temporal lobes: "The temporal lobes are one of the four main lobes or regions of the cerebral cortex. Structures of the limbic system, including the olfactory cortex, amygdala, and the hippocampus are located within the temporal lobes. The temporal lobes play an important role in organizing sensory input, auditory perception, language and speech production, as well as memory association and formation."<ref>http://biology.about.com/od/anatomy/p/temporal-lobes.htm</ref>
