What is one of the possible causes of conduction deafness?
A conductive hearing loss occurs when the outer or middle ear does not efficiently transfer sound to the inner ear. In the outer ear common causes include ear wax and foreign objects in the ear canal.conductive hearing loss is caused by damage to the bones of the ear,or to the tymanic membrane(eardrum),or to the outer ear. Nerve damage is the only other kind of hearing loss you can have and that is caused by damage to the nerves in the cochlea..I was born without eardrums and have a conductive loss
Why deafness occurs in different age groups?
because people are older and their ear drum have developt more
What is postlingual deafness?
Post lingual deafness is a deafness when hearing loss is adventitious and develops due to disease or after the acquisition of speech and normally occurs after the age of six.Post Lingual is more common than Prelingual deafness.
Where does nerve conduction deafness occur?
Nerve conduction deafness is one of the two types of deafness that can happen. It occurs when there is a break in communication between the nerve cells and the inner ear.
What is condictive deafness?
Conductive hearing loss occurs when there is a problem conducting sound waves anywhere along the route through the outer ear, tympanic membrane (eardrum), or middle ear (ossicles). This type of hearing loss may occur in conjunction with sensorineural hearing loss or alone.
What is sensorineural deafness?
Sensorineural deafness is decreased hearing or hearing loss that occurs from damage to the inner ear, the nerve that runs from the ear to the brain (auditory nerve), or the brain. Sensorineural deafness can be present at birth (congenital), or it can develop later in life (acquired) as a result of: Disease of the blood vessels (vascular disease) Immune disease Infections Injury Meniere's disease Multiple sclerosis Use of certain medicines Tumor In some cases, the cause is unknown.
How does deafness occur?
It occurs when there is a problem in the ear drum which makes the drum unable to vibrate.
What happens if your bone in your ear is bent back to the other bone?
If the bones of the middle ear are damaged in any way, then a loss of hearing, called conduction deafness, occurs. Any type of damage will destroy the ossicles ability to amplify and transmit sound vibrations.
When an earthquake occurs where would be damage more?
If the earthquake occurs on land - the highest damage occurs at the epicentre (the point at which the quake starts). If the quake begins at sea - most damage is caused at coastal regions from tidal waves.
What is sensorineural?
Sensorineural deafness is decreased hearing or hearing loss that occurs from damage to the inner ear, the nerve that runs from the ear to the brain (auditory nerve), or the brain. Sensorineural deafness can be present at birth (congenital), or it can develop later in life (acquired) as a result of: Disease of the blood vessels (vascular disease) Immune disease Infections Injury Meniere's disease Multiple sclerosis Use of certain medicines Tumor In some cases, the cause is unknown.
Who named it a tsunami?
The word is Japanese. It originally meant "harbor wave" because that was where the most damage occurs during a tsunami.
How is conductive hearing loss different from sensory hearing loss?
Conductive hearing loss occurs in the outer or middle ear. (Something stuck in hear canal, perforated ear drum, breakdown in the ossicular chain)Sensorineural loss occurs in the inner ear inside cochlea where the tinny hair cells have become damaged.
