Ototoxic drugs are drugs that may damage the cochlea, auditory nerve and/or the vestibular system of the ear. The damage caused is usually temporary and symptoms improve once the patient stops taking the drug. However, in some patients, the damage is permanent. Damage to the cochlea is the most common problem associated with these drugs. The reason that hearing loss results when the cochlea is damaged is: Select one: a. The bones in the ear do not amplify or increase the sound vibrations. b. The eardrum cannot transmit vibrations from sound waves to the malleus. c. The Eustachian tube remains open. d. Hair cells within the damaged cochlea do not bend preventing the transmission of an electrical signal to the auditory nerve

Communication

Communication is a method of transferring information between two persons or organisms. Communication is possible using mutually understood behaviors such as signs, symbols, or language. In the year 1980, S. F. Scudder proposed communication theory. According to his ideas, all living beings on the earth communicate, but the methods of communication differ. Communication skills are now part of soft skills.
