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.
Can you go deaf by hitting a nerve in your ear?
Hitting a nerve in your ear can potentially lead to hearing loss, but it's not the nerve itself that causes deafness. Damage to the ear structures, such as the eardrum, ossicles, or inner ear, can result from trauma, which may affect hearing. In severe cases, trauma can also damage the auditory nerve, leading to permanent hearing loss. However, minor impacts are unlikely to cause deafness.
Is total nerve deafness correctable with hearing aids?
No, only conduction deafness is correctable with hearing aids
What is a common cause of nerve deafness?
exposure to loud sounds
Is sciatica considered a disability?
can you get disability for sciatic nerve pains
If Thomas is diagnosed with nerve deafness chances are good that his problem is what?
c. cochlea
Would a severe sciatic nerve problem be a plausible reason for a 24 year old woman to receive ssi disability benefits?
It might be, but that is not a question which can be answered for you on this site. Your best solution is to consult with an attorney who specializes in Social Security Disability practice.
What is the common cause of nerve deafness?
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.
Which nerve is used for hearing?
Vestibulocochlear (CN 8). Damage to this nerve can cause tinnitus (deafness).
