== Effects ==
{{Stub|section=1|reason=Other mechanical interactions need testing - baby giggling, insults, television,  ritual participation (inc [but not only] drum ritual and its recreation effects) etc}}
Hearing has a number of unique interactions with other mechanics, beyond the traditional effects on [[stats]].

Pawns with {{Bad|0%}} Hearing do not get the [[mood]] bonus from musical instruments{{RoyaltyIcon}}, or the mood penalties from disturbed sleep or crying [[babies]]{{BiotechIcon}}. They also have no {{Bad|-25}} opinion towards pawns with [[Annoying voice]] or [[Creepy breathing]].

Animals also have a Hearing capacity, but it's not clear if it affects any of their stats.

== Affected stats ==
{{#ask: [[Hearing Importance::+]]
| ?Health Type = Type
| ?Hearing Importance# = Weight

== Factors ==
The following factors affect Hearing:
=== Base factors ===
* Ear efficiency.  100% importance, no allowed defect, no max.
** The game assigns 75% weight to the stronger ear and 25% weight to the weaker, so entirely losing a single ear reduces hearing by 25% rather than 50%.
** [[Hearing loss]]: part efficiency offset {{--|20%}}. Due to weighting, this is only a loss of {{--|12.5%}} if it affects a single ear
** [[Cochlear implant]]: 65% part efficiency.
** [[Bionic ear]]: 125% part efficiency.

{{Hearing Part Efficiency Table}}

=== Offsets ===
The following offsets affect Hearing:
* [[Dementia]]: {{--|25%}}
** Note, that as dementia also inflicts a -15% Consciousness penalty, this is effectively a {{--|40%}} to Hearing.
* [[Sensory mechanites]]: {{+|50%}}

== Version history ==
* [[Version/1.2.2719|1.2.2719]] - Humans with 0% hearing no longer get thoughts from listening to instruments.
