What is adhesive otitis media?
Adhesive otitis media, also known as tympanosclerosis, is a condition where scar tissue forms on the middle ear structures, typically the eardrum and the tiny bones in the middle ear. This scar tissue can cause conductive hearing loss and may require treatment if it affects hearing significantly.
What is the medical term meaning hearing loss because the middle ear does not conduct sound vibrations to the inner ear normally?
In conductive hearing loss, sound is not conducted to the middle ear. Otosclerosis is one cause of conductive hearing loss; tympanic membrane rupture is another.
How can some conductive hearing loss be prevented?
Prompt treatment and attentive follow-up of middle ear infections in children will prevent this cause of conductive hearing loss.
Where is the nasal conchea?
They are bones in the nasal cavity (or parts of other bones in the nasal cavity) that cause turbulence in the air moving through the nasal cavity. This will warm and moisten the air to help protect the lungs. There are three conchae in the nasal cavity, a superior, middle and inferior conchae (aka turbinates).
Why does a change in pressure cause hearing impairments?
Driving down out of the mountains, riding to a lower floor in an elevator, flying into a destination on decent all cause the pressure in your ear to change such that you feel a popping sensation. What makes this happen necessitates a quick anatomy lesson. The ear canal is a closed tube at one end (at the eardrum). The eardrum is the lateral (outside) wall of the middle ear cavity (which houses the middle ear bones). The Eustachian tube runs from the middle ear cavity (actually the anterior wall) to the lateral wall of the nasopharynx (back of the nose toward the throat). The function of the Eustachian tube is two-fold: to open and close in order to aerate the middle ear space (so no fluid builds up) and to drain the middle ear (mucus discharge). Four muscles control the movement of the Eustachian tube that are innervated by the vagus nerve and the mandibular nerve. Normally the Eustachian tube is closed but it will open periodically as previously stated. If the Eustachian tube is disordered by infection or otherwise (such as patent during which case it does not close), then fluid will build up and cause conductive hearing loss (like trying to hear when you are under water).
Can Syphillis cause hearing loss?
No, chlamydia does not cause hearing loss.
What causes a distended endometrial cavity?
Pregnancy can cause a distended endometrial cavity.
What makes buggers?
Mucus is produced to line the nasal cavity in order to trap foreign objects and protect the body's respiratory system. Dried mucus, commonly referred to as boogers, can build up in the nasal cavity and cause discomfort.
How can a puncture in the thoracic cavity be dangerous?
It can rupture the pleural cavity and cause a collapsed lung.

What is OSC court hearing?
An OSC court hearing stands for "Order to Show Cause" court hearing. It is a legal proceeding where one party requests the court to take a specific action against another party, and the second party must show cause or provide reasons why that action should not be taken.OSC hearings are usually scheduled when there is an urgent matter that needs to be addressed promptly by the court.
Will water from the shower beating in ears cause hearing loss?
This probably won't cause hearing loss. If you are worried, you should talk to our doctor or have your hearing tested.
