The cochlea is the main hearing-related organ of the inner ear. When it is damaged, permanent hearing loss is the result. Tiny "hair cells" on the cochlea are responsible for sensing specific sounds, and cochlea damage is caused by the bending and/or breaking of these "hair cells."
What else can I help you with?
Which hearing problem is permanent a. the ear is blocked by wax b. the eardrum is damaged in an accident c. the cochlea can be damaged by a loud noise d. the middle ear can be clogged with mucus?
The permanent one is damage to the cochlea. Artificial implants are now available though.
Where in your body can you find the cochlea?
YOUR EARS : Sound comes into the inner ear as vibrations and enters the cochlea
What is the role of cochlea in ear?
The cochlea is the place where sound is actually sensed by nerves to create a signal that can travel to the brain. The rest of the ear serves only to collect sound and transmit it to the cochlea.
What is the fluid in the cochlea?
Endolymp
What is the specific nerve that innervates the cochlea?
The cochlea is innervated by the cochlear nerve, which is the auditory branch of the vestibulocochlear nerve (cranial nerve VIII). It carries sound information from the cochlea to the brainstem for processing.
Does damage to the cochlea cause hearing loss?
A common cause of hearing loss is damage to the hair cells within the cochlea
Damage to cochlea brain auditory nerve can cause what?
sensorineural hearing loss.
How does damage to the cochlea hair affect hearing?
Damage to the hair cells in the cochlea can lead to hearing loss because these cells are responsible for converting sound vibrations into electrical signals that the brain can interpret. When the hair cells are damaged, they are unable to properly transmit these signals, resulting in a decrease in the ability to hear sounds clearly.
Why a sound with a a larger amplitude is more llikely to damage your hearing than one with a small amplitude?
because of the vibrations in the cochlea. the stronger the vibrations the more likely it is to damage your ears
What does the cochlea contain?
the cochlea contains bone
What contains the cochlea?
the cochlea contains bone
Which hearing problem is permanent a. the ear is blocked by wax b. the eardrum is damaged in an accident c. the cochlea can be damaged by a loud noise d. the middle ear can be clogged with mucus?
The permanent one is damage to the cochlea. Artificial implants are now available though.
How does extended exposure to loud noises affect the hair cells inside the cochlea?
Extended exposure to loud noises can damage the hair cells inside the cochlea, leading to hearing loss. The hair cells can become overstimulated and eventually die off, reducing the ability to detect sound accurately. This can result in permanent hearing damage.
Loud sounds can cause damage to the?
Loud noises can damage the ear drum. Sometimes the cochlea can also be damaged which could cause permanant deafness. Wax in your ear canal can cause temporary deafness
The cochlea is to the as the is to the eye for transduction?
The cochlea is to the ear as the retina is to the eye for transduction. Both the cochlea and retina are sensory organs that convert external stimuli (sound for the cochlea, light for the retina) into neural signals that can be processed by the brain.
What is the central part of the inner ear called?
i think it is the cochlea
