aural

aural, auricular, audible mean heard or perceived by the ear but they are not often interchangeable.

Aural is applicable to any sensation or impression which affects the auditory sense rather than other senses

{

insensitiveness to aural stimuli

}

{

prefer the aural to the visual method in learning a language

}

Auricular is applicable not only to what is heard as distinguished from what is read but also especially to something communicated privately and addressed to the ear of a particular person; thus, auricular confession is used of the private confession of sins to a priest as distinguished from open confession before a congregation

{

you shall . . . by an auricular assurance have your satisfaction— [Shak

}

Audible is applicable only to sounds, voices, or conversations which are heard as distinguished from those which are not heard because too faint, too low, or uttered in a whisper

{

his voice being distinctly audible in the street— Hardy
