What is the difference conductive deafness and sensorineural deafness?
Conductive Loss - Normal hearing for bone conduction scores ([ & ]), and showing a hearing loss for Air Conduction scores (X &O) Sensorineural Loss- Hearing loss (equally) for both air and bone conduction
What is peripheral hearing loss?
Peripheral Hearing loss has to do with hearing loss in the peripheral auditory mechanism...that is, in the External Ear, Middle Ear, Cochlea, and VIIIth nerve.
What is the scientific name for deafness?
The scientific term for deafness is "hearing loss" or "hearing impairment." It can be categorized based on the severity and type, such as conductive hearing loss, sensorineural hearing loss, or mixed hearing loss.
What are the three basic types of hearing loss?
sensorineural, conductive, and mixed
Which type of hearing loss develops when the auditory nerve or hair cells in the inner ear are damaged?
sensorineural hearing loss
A sensorineural hearing loss is most often associated with loss of hearing sensitivity in which of the frequency ranges?
high frequency sounds
Is presbycusis a gradual loss of sensorineural hearing that occurs as the body ages?
Yes it is!
Damage to cochlea brain auditory nerve can cause what?
sensorineural hearing loss.
Loss of hearing resulting from prolonged exposure to high-intensity sounds?
Sensorineural deafness
What distinguishes the types of hearing loss?
Two tests that are commonly used to distinguish conductive hearing loss from sensorineural are Rinne's test and Weber's test.
What is the most common cause of sensorineural deafness?
The great majority of human sensorineural hearing loss is caused by abnormalities in the hair cells of the organ of Corti in the cochlea.
What are the different types of hearing impairments?
There are three basic types of hearing loss. They are as follows: 1. Conductive 2. Sensorineural 3. Mixed
