What is adhesive otitis media?
pathological changes in the middle ear cavity pus mince the mastoid cavity due to congenital anatomica variation in the skull bones angles [Eustachian tube] or as sequel of the chronic inflammatory changes in the cavity as results of chronic middle ear infection all lead to clinical sign and symptom of hearing impairment .
Why does a change in pressure cause hearing impairments?
Driving down out of the mountains, riding to a lower floor in an elevator, flying into a destination on decent all cause the pressure in your ear to change such that you feel a popping sensation. What makes this happen necessitates a quick anatomy lesson. The ear canal is a closed tube at one end (at the eardrum). The eardrum is the lateral (outside) wall of the middle ear cavity (which houses the middle ear bones). The Eustachian tube runs from the middle ear cavity (actually the anterior wall) to the lateral wall of the nasopharynx (back of the nose toward the throat). The function of the Eustachian tube is two-fold: to open and close in order to aerate the middle ear space (so no fluid builds up) and to drain the middle ear (mucus discharge). Four muscles control the movement of the Eustachian tube that are innervated by the vagus nerve and the mandibular nerve. Normally the Eustachian tube is closed but it will open periodically as previously stated. If the Eustachian tube is disordered by infection or otherwise (such as patent during which case it does not close), then fluid will build up and cause conductive hearing loss (like trying to hear when you are under water).
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 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.
Can Syphillis cause hearing loss?
No, chlamydia does not cause hearing loss.
What did Damage to middle ear called conductive?
Damage to the middle ear that affects sound conduction is called conductive hearing loss. This type of hearing loss occurs when sound waves cannot efficiently pass through the outer and middle ear to the inner ear for processing. Damage to the middle ear components, such as the ear drum or ossicles, can lead to conductive hearing loss. Treatment options vary depending on the underlying cause of the damage.
How can a puncture in the thoracic cavity be dangerous?
It can rupture the pleural cavity and cause a collapsed lung.
does taking pain meds cause hearing loss ?
do pain meds cause hearing loss
Can gentamicin cause hearing loss in patients?

The medication known to cause hearing loss is called aminoglycoside antibiotics.
Is middle ear infection dangerous?
No. It hurts a lot though. Inner Ear Infections don't hurt as much, however, they can cause permanent damage to your hearing.
