Most of us take our senses for granted. We tend not to realise how important they are for us until one of our senses fails us. Hearing loss, for example, has a considerable impact on social life. In the future, some people who are not helped by ordinary hearing aids could benefit from an optical cochlear implant. But not all hearing is the same – people in different cultures perceive music differently. And there are also senses that humans do not possess: mole-rats, for example, use the earth’s magnetic field to orient themselves in their dark burrows.
