Many aspects of speechcommunication and hearing are notcompletely understood. Speechscientists conduct basic research inspeech production and perception and
machines that recognise verbalmessages of individual speakers.
Scientists are currently studying theperipheral ear, the neural pathway to
the brain, and higher order processingof acoustic information. Physicists andaudiologists frequently study in thesefields.

Sound is an extremely valuable tool,not only for military applications(detection and evasion) but also forcommercial use.
Acoustic signals are used to detect thelocation of fish stocks, to map the seafloor to determine the safest routes forocean vessels and to exploregeological formations or search for oil
within the earths crust or beneath theocean floor.
