What is the medical term for hearing loss resulting from damage to the inner ear or auditory nerve?
The medical term for hearing loss resulting from damage to the inner ear or auditory nerve is sensorineural hearing loss.
Damage to cochlea brain auditory nerve can cause what?
sensorineural hearing loss.
What Can cause irreversible damage to the auditory branch of the eight cranial nerve?
cephalosporins
What are auditory evoked potential studies used for?
Auditory evoked potentials are used to diagnose hearing losses. They can distinguish damage to the acoustic nerve (which carries signals from the ear to the brain stem) from damage to the auditory pathways within the brainstem.
How do auditory pathways carry nerve impulses to auditory cortices?
the auditory nerve pathways carry impulses to the auditory cortices in the ?
Why would damage to the och-lea or auditory nerve result in hearing loss?
Damage to the cochlea or auditory nerve can result in hearing loss because the cochlea is responsible for converting sound vibrations into electrical signals, which are then transmitted to the brain via the auditory nerve. If the cochlea is damaged, it may fail to process sound correctly, leading to a loss of auditory perception. Similarly, if the auditory nerve is compromised, the brain may not receive the signals needed for sound interpretation, resulting in diminished or lost hearing. Both structures are crucial for normal auditory function, and their impairment directly impacts the ability to hear.
What nerves carries messages of sound to the brain?
The auditory nerve, also known as the vestibulocochlear nerve, carries messages of sound from the inner ear to the brainstem and then to the brain where sound is processed and interpreted.
What nerves combine to form the auditory nerve?
The auditory nerve is formed by the cochlear nerve and the vestibular nerve. The cochlear nerve is responsible for transmitting auditory information from the cochlea to the brain, while the vestibular nerve is responsible for transmitting information related to balance and spatial orientation.
What carries the nerve impulses to the auditory cortex of the brain where they will be perceived sound?
The Auditory Nerve does this.
Which part of the human ear contains the auditory nerve?
The cochlea is the part of the human that contains the auditory nerve
Which nerve is used for hearing?
Vestibulocochlear (CN 8). Damage to this nerve can cause tinnitus (deafness).
What cranial nerve controls the ears?
auditory nerve
