Which nerve is used for hearing?
Vestibulocochlear (CN 8). Damage to this nerve can cause tinnitus (deafness).
How sounds are convertd into electrical signals going to the brain?
There are several (a lot) of tiny hair like structures inside the ear will vibrate in response to certain sound frequencies. When a hair vibrates, it stimulates a particular cell which sends a signal to the neurons next to it, to the brain. The brain takes all of the inputs and can interpret that as sounds and frequencies. Louder sounds will cause it to vibrate more, so the brain can interpret that as well.
Explain how sound waves stimulate the hair cells of the spiral organ of corti to cause hearing?
When the sound waves stimulate the hair cells of the spiral organ of corti to cause hearing, the impulses are usually sent to the brain.
How can cochlea be damaged by loud sounds?
Yes. Sound is measured by decibels. It is safe to only hear 65 decibels or less. If sound is higher than 65 decibels, it can 95.6% damage your eardrums. Listening to music through your headphones at highest volume from an mp3 or an iPhone is considered 82 decibels. Listening to a concert is considered 167 decibels. A blue whale is 300+. :)
Can soft sound damage your ear drum?
Soft sounds typically do not cause damage to the ear drum. However, prolonged exposure to any level of sound can still lead to hearing damage over time. It's important to protect your ears from excessive noise, regardless of its volume.
Can everyday loud sound cause brain damage in hyperacausis people or people with sound phobia?
Regardless of psychological condition, loud sounds can cause brain damage, due to vibrations in the skull. In people with "sound phobia", this effect can be increased by the normal stress reactions to loud sounds, however there is a slight lack of research supporting this.
Can sound make your brain explode?
No. The most it can do is ruin your hearing.
How can sound cause hearing loss?
It can damage the eardrum as sound contains vibrations.
What is the maximum level of sound intensity, measured in decibels, that can cause permanent hearing damage, such as 1100 dB sound?
The maximum level of sound intensity that can cause permanent hearing damage is around 120-130 decibels. Sound intensity of 1100 dB is extremely high and would cause immediate and severe damage to hearing.
Why do loud sounds damage?
Sound is a form of energy, energy can be used to cause damage.
A sound intensity above may cause permanent hearing damage?
A dangerous sound level is defined as above 85db to cause hearing damage. Long term exposure to 80 db can also damage hearing.
Cause of ringing of ear after a stroke?
This type of ringing is most likely due to damage in the part of the brain. This part of the brain is for interperting sound. It can also be caused by what is called cochlear stroke. This is a blood supply interruption to the inner ear region.
How does damage to cochlear hair cells lead to the development of tinnitus?
Damage to cochlear hair cells can lead to the development of tinnitus because these cells are responsible for converting sound vibrations into electrical signals that the brain interprets as sound. When these cells are damaged, they can send faulty signals to the brain, resulting in the perception of sound when there is no external sound present, leading to tinnitus.
Does loud sound cause damage?
Yes it does, any sound over 85 Decibels is considered too loud and will hurt your hearing. Hearing anything this loud will start to damage your ear. Prolonged exposure to sounds this loud will cause irreversible damage to your ears.
What is the maximum sound level in decibels that can cause permanent hearing damage, with 230 dB being the threshold?
The maximum sound level that can cause permanent hearing damage is around 130 decibels. Sound levels above 130 decibels can lead to hearing loss.
How can you protect your sense of hearing?
You can protect your sense of hearing, simply by avoiding yourself listening to harsh, loud sound. A sound above 85 decibels can cause hearing loss. 8hours exposure to a 90- decibel sound can cause damage to your eardrums. Any exposure to 140-decibel sound causes immediate damage and can cause actual pain.
Can sound destroy things?
Yes, sound can potentially cause damage to objects under certain conditions. This phenomenon is known as acoustic resonance, where sound waves match the natural frequency of an object, causing it to vibrate and possibly break. However, this usually requires specific frequencies and high intensity sound levels.
