Nerve deafness, also known as sensorineural hearing loss, is commonly caused by damage to the hair cells in the cochlea of the inner ear or to the auditory nerve pathways. This damage can result from aging, exposure to loud noises, genetic factors, infections, or certain medical conditions. Unlike conductive hearing loss, nerve deafness typically cannot be corrected with surgery or hearing aids, although some assistive devices may help. Early detection and intervention are crucial for managing its effects.
What else can I help you with?
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.
What is otosclerosis?
It is a disorder causing deafness due to the overgrowth of bone in the inner ear.
If a human is losing hearing what has happened?
The Human hearing limits decays with age naturally. By the time you are over 30 your hearing may drop to a maximum rage of 0-15kHz. This is known as Presbycusis. There are many factors which cause this but the most common is hearing loss is caused by disorders of the inner ear or auditory nerve.
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 does the myelin do in the eye?
Demyelination in the brain and its effects on the optic nerve can cause objects directly ahead to be blurred in one eye, and eventually lead to blindness in that eye.
What is a common cause of nerve deafness?
exposure to loud sounds
Where does nerve conduction deafness occur?
Nerve conduction deafness is one of the two types of deafness that can happen. It occurs when there is a break in communication between the nerve cells and the inner ear.
Can conduction deafness result from a lesion on the cochlear nerve?
Yes the result from a lesion on the cochlear nerve is sensorineural deafness. The result from the fusion of the ossicles is conduction deafness.
Which of these is an example of nerve deafness?
tinnitus
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.
Which nerve is used for hearing?
Vestibulocochlear (CN 8). Damage to this nerve can cause tinnitus (deafness).
Is total nerve deafness correctable with hearing aids?
No, only conduction deafness is correctable with hearing aids
What is the leading cause of deafness in infants?
