What is fusing together the bones of the middle ear resulting in a conductive hearing loss?
otorrhagia
Which term means fusing together of the bones of the middle ear resulting in a conductive hearing lost?
When there is Conductive Deafness due to the loss of movement in the ossicles this is called Auditory Ossicle Fixation or Fusion.
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.
What type of deafness is associated with hearing problems of the outer or middle ear?
Conductive.
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 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.
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
Jacob was diagnosed as suffering from conductive deafness chances are best that his problem has to do wiht?
Conductive deafness or conductive hearing loss is when the sound waves are not fully processed while in route to throughout the ear. Sound waves are lost somewhere in the outer ear, tympanic membrane, or middle 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.
Who are candidates for a stapedectomy?
Candidates for a stapedectomy are individuals with otosclerosis, a condition where abnormal bone growth in the middle ear causes hearing loss. They typically have conductive hearing loss, often unimproved by hearing aids, and show a good prognosis for surgery based on audiometric testing and medical evaluation. Additionally, they should have realistic expectations and be in overall good health for surgery.
Unfavorable ankylosis of the entire thoracolumbar spine?
Unfavorable ankylosis of the thoracolumbar spine means that your posture is in an unnatural position stemming from your middle, lower back. This could mean that you are stuck in a hunched or side leaning position.
