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.
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?
Yes
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.
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.
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

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 use of tuning fork?
to asses persons hearing ability specially air conduction versus bone conduction A tuning fork used to be the standard method for checking the musical pitch of instruments. When struck it would vibrate at a definite frequency, which could be heard, and Musical Instruments could then be adjusted to match. Nowadays that is more usually done by electronic oscillators.
Does bone conduction cause hearing loss?
not they i have ever heard of. i guess it depends where it is
What does the Tomatis method involve?
The Tomatis method involves the client using special headphones with bone and air conduction to listen to electronically recorded music frequencies. These are believed to open the brain to greater frequencies of sound.
