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.
Which section of the ear is the eardrum in?
The tympanic membrane (eardrum) is the division of the outer and middle ear. The middle ear is sometimes called the tympanic chamber, so the eardrum is officially designated to the middle ear.
What is the channel between the middle ear and the nasopharynx called?
Eustachian tube
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.
What are facts about the human ear?
the middle ear is the smallest bone in the body
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
Means ankylosis of the bones of the middle ear resulting in a conductive hearing loss?
OtosclerosisOtosclerosis is ankylosis (fusion) of the bones of the middle ear, resulting in conductive hearing loss.Otosclerosis
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.
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.
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.
What is fusing together the bones of the middle ear resulting in a conductive hearing loss?
otorrhagia
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.
Is the incus the laying down of new bone in the middle ear?
The incus is the middle three of the auditory ossicles (little bones) of the middle ear.The laying down of new bone in the middle ear causes fusion or fixation of the ossicles which leads to Conductive Deafness.
Explain the difference between conductive and nerve deafness?
Conductive deafness is caused by the bones in the middle ear to pass on sound vibrations to the inner ear. Nerve deafness may be caused by a disease or some other event that injures the cochlear nerve.
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.
How are sound waves converted to mechanical vibrations within the middle ear?
Sound waves are converted to mechanical vibrations within the middle ear with the impact of the cilia on the fluid chambers acting as conductive membranes. The brain then interprets this as specific sounds.
