Thinking about noticing, sentence 2

You have two ears, one on each side; a sound from your left reaches your left ear a tiny moment sooner and a little louder, and your brain uses that difference to tell where the sound is.

Who acts: You, sound, brain · What happens: have, reach, use, tell, be · To what, where: two ears, left ear, difference · Speech: someone speaks here
