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.
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.
What is otosclerosis?
It is a disorder causing deafness due to the overgrowth of bone in the inner ear.
What elements are good at conducting heat and electricity?
super conductive elements, beena while since i looked at a periodic table but i believe it is broken into parts. being non conductive, partial conductive, conductive, and super conductive. i thinkt here may even be a 5th section somewhere. if memory serves the further right you go the more conductive it becomes.
Because copper is a metal then it is?
Because copper is a metal, then it is conductive.
What is the likely site of damage that leads to sensorineural deafness?
Sensorineural deafness is primarily caused by damage to the hair cells in the cochlea of the inner ear or to the auditory nerve pathways. This type of damage can result from factors such as exposure to loud noise, aging, genetic predispositions, or infections. Unlike conductive hearing loss, sensorineural deafness affects the ability to process sound signals, leading to difficulties in hearing even when sounds are amplified.
What is the scientific name for deafness?
The scientific term for deafness is "hearing loss" or "hearing impairment." It can be categorized based on the severity and type, such as conductive hearing loss, sensorineural hearing loss, or mixed hearing loss.
Is sensorineural deafness often improved by a hearing aid?
yes
Explain the difference between conductive and nerve deafness?

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.
What are the three basic types of hearing loss?
sensorineural, conductive, and mixed
Loss of hearing resulting from prolonged exposure to high-intensity sounds?
Sensorineural deafness
What type of deafness does damage cilia do?
Damage to the hair cells (cilia) in the cochlea can lead to sensorineural hearing loss. This type of deafness occurs when there is a problem with the inner ear or the auditory nerve pathways to the brain, resulting in difficulties in sound processing. Unlike conductive hearing loss, which involves issues in the outer or middle ear, sensorineural hearing loss is typically permanent and can be caused by factors such as aging, noise exposure, or certain medical conditions.
What is the most common cause of sensorineural deafness?
The most common cause of sensorineural deafness is damage to the hair cells in the inner ear, often due to aging, noise exposure, or genetic factors. This type of hearing loss is permanent and typically irreversible.
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.
What do you hear when you have conductive deafness?
muffled soounds or nothing
The death of hair cells by continued exposure of high amplitude sound of a single frequency such as a jet engine is?
sensorineural deafness
