The round window is an opening in the cochlea of the inner ear that releases excess pressure caused by sound waves. It helps to maintain the proper functioning of the cochlea by allowing for the dissipation of fluid pressure.


Why hearing loss occurs?

Hearing loss occurs when the inner ear is damaged by excessive, loud noise (acute or over a period of time), toxins are introduced to the ear, illness or disease of the ear or that affects or INFECTS the ear, or when a trauma occurs (ruptured ear drum from a foreign object inserted into the ear, for example) . Hearing loss can also occur in infancy, for known or unknown reasons.


Which type of hearing loss occurs when sound waves are prevented from passing from the air to the fluid-filled inner ear?

Conductive hearing loss occurs when sound waves are unable to pass from the air to the fluid-filled inner ear. This can be caused by issues such as earwax buildup, fluid in the middle ear, or problems with the ear canal or eardrum.

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.


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 occurs when sound waves don't pass through the outer to the inner ear?

You don't hear anything. They don't actually have to get there through the outer ear. If your ear is plugged, or if your 'tympanum' (ear drum) is broken, the vibrations can conduct through the bone that you feel behind your ear. But they do have to get to the inner ear somehow. If vibrations don't reach the cochlea in the inner ear, then you don't hear anything.
