The temporal lobes are about the second biggest lobes in the brain.
The temporal lobes are on the bottom middle of the brain cortex, basically at the sides of your head near your temples.
They are in front of the occipital lobes, behind the frontal lobe,and under the parietal lobes.
Without temporal lobes you wouldn't be able to understand anybody. The temporal lobe helps sense of sound and selective hearing. Selective Hearing: When a person only hears the things they would like to hear and will ignore the rest of what a person has to say.
There are two temporal lobes, one on the right and one on the left side of the brain. With damage to your temporal lobes it will affect your language.
This part of the temporal lobe is the Broca's area. With damage to the Broca's area you will have trouble pronouncing just about everything. The Broca's area is named after a french neurosurgeon Paul Broca.
Another part of the temporal lobe(left temporal lobe) that has to do with language is the Wernicke's area. With damage to this area you will be able to speak but your sentences will not make sense. The Wernicke's area is named after a German neurologist
