The type of deafness in case of Mohammed (6yrs), who has cold, with a feel of fullness in his ears and inability to hear properly.
Introduction:
Deafness is also known as hearing loss or hearing impairment. In simple words, it is defined as the partial or total inability to hear. Deafness may caused due to a number of factors like ageing, genetics, infections etc. Depending upon the cause, deafness is classified into two types, conduction deafness and sensorineural deafness.

- Jill is diagnosed with sensorineural deafness, a disorder in which sound waves are transmitted normally to the inner ear but they are not translated into neural signals that travel to the brain. Sometimes the cause is a problem with the auditory nerve, but in Jills case it has to do with a problem in the inner ear itself. Where in the inner ear is the disruption most likely to be located?arrow_forwardPeople with one ear, retain the ability to localize sound. Name the structure that makes localization possible and explain how it makes this possible.arrow_forwardA 33-year-old, right-handed roller derby skater comes to you complaining of periodic attacks of tinnitus ("ringing" or "buzzing") in her left ear and vertigo (the sensation that she and her surroundings are moving relative to one another, when she is standing or sitting still). She says these attacks have been becoming more frequent over the past year or so and that now, between attacks, she feels as though she can't hear as well with her left ear as she can with her right. Your examination reveals that the auditory threshold is indeed elevated in her left ear, whether you use air conduction or bone conduction. You also notice that touching either cornea with a wisp of cotton causes her right eye to blink briskly and her left eye to blink somewhat sluggishly. Then you notice that she seems to have a somewhat asymmetrical smile: The right side of her face moves more than the left. Which of the following best accounts for this patient's list of problems? Damage to the left…arrow_forward
- Wayne is a 75-year-old retired teacher who comes to the physician’s office feeling quite upset. He tells Rebecca, the licensed practical nurse, that he does not know what is happening to him. When people speak to him their speech seems garbled, and lately he is having difficulty reading. After an examination, the physician tells him he has a conductive hearing loss because of accumulated cerumen. What is cerumen?arrow_forwardLabyrinthitis is an inflammation of the inner ear. What symptoms would you expect in a patient with this disorder?arrow_forwardWhen Maddie’s physician examines her ear, he explains to her parents that she has a perforated eardrum. Which of the following statements is NOT true? Maddie is at higher risk for ear infections due to the perforation. Maddie’s eardrum will likely heal on its own and she will not need surgery. A perforated “eardrum” means that there is a tear or hole in Maddie’s tympanic membrane. Maddie has sensorineural hearing loss due to the perforated eardrum.arrow_forward

Explain the pathway of sound.arrow_forwardMilo and Garfield are two friends who have acquired hearing loss, but the cause of hearing loss in Milo is different from that in Garfield. Milo has a conductive hearing loss. He can hear, but not clearly and loudly. The doctor has told Milo that calcium has built up on the bones in his middle ear interfering with their movements. Garfield has neural hearing loss. The doctor has told Garfield that he cannot hear because the auditory nerve cannot transmit electrical impulses from receptors in his inner ear to his brain. By completing the following tasks, help Milo and Garfield understand how their ear works and why they have difficulty hearing sounds. E. Draw and label a diagram showing the position of the bones in the middle ear. F. Explain the function of the bonesinconducting sound. G. Draw and label a diagram showing the inner ear, the position of receptors and the auditory nerve.arrow_forwardWayne is a 75-year-old retired teacher who comes to the physician’s office feeling quite upset.
