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
Why deafness occurs in different age groups?
because people are older and their ear drum have developt more
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.
What type of deafness is a torn ear drum?
A torn eardrum, or tympanic membrane perforation, typically results in conductive hearing loss. This type of deafness occurs when sound waves cannot efficiently travel through the outer and middle ear due to the disruption of the eardrum's normal function. While conductive hearing loss from a torn eardrum can often be temporary and may improve with healing or medical treatment, it can also lead to complications if not properly managed.
What is postlingual deafness?
Post lingual deafness is a deafness when hearing loss is adventitious and develops due to disease or after the acquisition of speech and normally occurs after the age of six.Post Lingual is more common than Prelingual deafness.
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.
What form of deafness is caused by disease to the three tiny bones of the inner ear?
Conductive hearing loss is caused by disease affecting the three tiny bones of the middle ear, known as the ossicles (malleus, incus, stapes). This type of hearing loss occurs when sound waves cannot travel efficiently through the outer and middle ear to the inner ear.
What is bone deafness?
Bone deafness, also known as conductive hearing loss, is a type of hearing impairment that occurs when sound waves cannot pass through the ear canal and reach the inner ear. This can be caused by issues with the ear canal, eardrum, or middle ear bones, resulting in decreased ability to hear sounds clearly. Treatment for bone deafness can include hearing aids or surgical interventions to improve hearing.
What type of deafness can result from the fusion of the ossicles?
Conduction deafness can be a direct result of the fusion of any or all of the three ossicles of the middle ear. If the ossicles cannot transmit sound vibrations properly, then they will not be received by the oval window to be transmitted to the inner ear.
What is condictive deafness?
Conductive hearing loss occurs when there is a problem conducting sound waves anywhere along the route through the outer ear, tympanic membrane (eardrum), or middle ear (ossicles). This type of hearing loss may occur in conjunction with sensorineural hearing loss or alone.
What is sensorineural deafness?
Sensorineural deafness is decreased hearing or hearing loss that occurs from damage to the inner ear, the nerve that runs from the ear to the brain (auditory nerve), or the brain. Sensorineural deafness can be present at birth (congenital), or it can develop later in life (acquired) as a result of: Disease of the blood vessels (vascular disease) Immune disease Infections Injury Meniere's disease Multiple sclerosis Use of certain medicines Tumor In some cases, the cause is unknown.
How does deafness occur?
It occurs when there is a problem in the ear drum which makes the drum unable to vibrate.
