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. | The temporal lobes are two areas of the [[brain]] located above the [[ears]], near the temples (hence the name).
