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
Why 8kilohertz bone conduction is not checked in pure tone audiometry?
8Khz may need an intensity higher for people to perceive it during air conduction especially in adults, during bone conduction, an increase in intensity may provoke a tactile response and not the response from audibility.
What causes all sounds?
sound comes from disturbances in the air, causing vibrations in the air molecules. Our ear has a bone (The stirrup, also known as the tiniest bone in the body ) that picks up these vibrations and sends a signal to the brain depending on how much the stirrup moved.
What is the part of the ear that responds to sound waves lika a microphones diaphragm?
The whole ear gathers sound. Deep inside there are bone tubes (called Inner Ear) with liquid and hair looking things inside (Hair cells). Sound makes the water and hairs move. The hairs send a signal to the brain. The brain puts it together so we can understand sounds and music.
Type of connective tissue that is classified as compact or spongy?
Bone tissue can be either spongey or compact. Compact bone is found on the walls of the shaft of bones while Spongey bone is found at the ends of the bone where joints are made.
Which one bone or air conducts sound more loudly?
Air conduction is more efficient than bone conduction, although conduction through bone may be "heard" more loudly because it is a direct conduction into the middle ear and there is a component of "feeling" the sound with bone conduction.
Why is it the air conduction is longer than the bone conduction?
Air conduction is slower than bone conduction because sound waves need to travel through the air, which is less dense compared to bone. In bone conduction, sound vibrations can directly stimulate the cochlea in the inner ear through the bones of the skull, bypassing the need to travel through the air.
Sound heard in one ear but not in the other during bone and air conduction?
conduction deafness
Do sound waves travel down the auditory canal by bone conduction?
No, sound waves travel down the auditory canal through air conduction. Bone conduction involves vibrations traveling through bones to the inner ear, bypassing the outer and middle ear.
Why bone conduction is better than air conduction in pure tone audiometry?
Because bone is a denser medium, sound travels faster and stronger through it than through air. Bone conduction never gives the body time to process sound properly because the sound never hits the middle ear process where it can be filtered and buffered. Instead, the signal goes into the bone, often around the mastoid bone or the skull area, and then travels directly to the nervous system and the brain without ever being filtered or buffered.
Why does your voice sound different to yourself?
When you hear your voice through external sources like recordings or phones, it includes vibrations through bone conduction that affect the way it sounds. This differs from the way you hear your voice internally which is mostly through air conduction, leading to the discrepancy in perceived sound.
What test is used for comparing bone and air conduction?
Audiometry is used to compare bone and air conduction. It measures the threshold at which a person can hear pure tones through bone and air conduction. The results help diagnose hearing loss and determine the type of hearing loss present.
What test is used for comparing bone and air-conduction hearing?
Audiometry test is used to compare bone and air-conduction hearing. This test measures a person's hearing ability by presenting tones of various pitches and volumes through headphones or bone-conduction devices. By comparing the results of bone conduction (testing the inner ear) and air conduction (testing the outer and middle ear), healthcare providers can assess the type and degree of hearing loss a person may have.
How can you hear other then Sound Waves?
You can perceive other sounds through vibrations in your surroundings. Additionally, you can also interpret sound through bone conduction or electrical signals.
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
If a hearing threshold were at 50 dB HL by air conduction and 5 dB HL by bone conduction what type of hearing loss exists?
Conductive, assuming the scores represent the same ear. The bone conduction is within normal limits while the air conduction score represents a mild to moderate loss.
Why 8kilohertz bone conduction is not checked in pure tone audiometry?
8Khz may need an intensity higher for people to perceive it during air conduction especially in adults, during bone conduction, an increase in intensity may provoke a tactile response and not the response from audibility.
