how do sound waves reach the cochlea when conduction of deafness is present? when something interferes with the conduction of sound vibration to the fluids of the inner ear.something as simple as a buildup of earwax may be cause.

How do sound vibrations reach the cochlea when conduction deafness is present?

Sound is conducted to the receptors of the ear through vibrations of the skull bones. This is because in conduction deafness the ossicles are fused such as the stapes foot plate which can fuse to the oval window, and ossicles can fuse to oneanother from overgrowth of bony tissue. Vibrations arent specific this way and detailed so vibrations are picked up by larger surrounding bones which becomes distorted sound.


What is the difference between conduction deafness and perceptive deafness?

Conductive deafness is when the sound waves are prevented from reaching the inner ear. It can be because of wax in the outer canal, fluid inside it, or the tiny bones in the ear have seized up. With perceptive deafness, sound waves can reach the inner ear, though it is a disease of the nerves leading to the brain or a condition affecting the function of the inner ear. Most cases of deafness fall into the category of conductive and perceptive deafness, though other cases of deafness are as simple as the result of old age.

Why the sun's heat not reach the earth by conduction or conviction?

The sun's heat reaches the Earth through radiation, not conduction or convection. Radiation is the transfer of heat energy in the form of electromagnetic waves, such as light and infrared radiation, which can travel through the vacuum of space to reach us. Conduction and convection require a material medium, which is not present in the vacuum of space.


What attaches the stirrup to the cochlea?

The stirrup is attached to the cochlea via the oval window. When vibrations from sound waves reach the stirrup, they are transmitted through the oval window into the fluid-filled cochlea, stimulating the hair cells responsible for hearing.

Conduction of sound from the middle ear to the internal ear occurs via vibration of the?

Conduction of sound from the middle ear to the internal ear occurs via vibration of the oval window, which is connected to the stapes bone. When sound waves reach the oval window, they cause vibrations that travel through the fluid-filled cochlea in the inner ear, stimulating the hair cells responsible for converting sound waves into electrical signals.


What is the present participle of reach?

The present participle is reaching.


Why can't the suns heat reach us by conduction or convection?

because there is no medium, conduction and convection need medium to spread through, they cannot spread through vacuum.


Why heat cannot reach the earth from the sun by conduction or convection?

Heat from the sun cannot reach the earth through conduction or convection because space is a vacuum and does not contain matter to transfer heat. Heat from the sun reaches the earth through radiation, as electromagnetic waves travel through the vacuum of space.
