- Figure 36.14 Cochlear implants can restore hearing in people who have a nonfunctional cochlea The implant consists of a microphone that picks up sound. A speech processor selects sounds in the range of human speech, and a transmitter converts these sounds to electrical impulses, which are then sent to the auditory nerve. Which of the following types of hearing loss would not be restored by a cochlear implant? Hearing loss resulting from absence or loss of hair cells in the organ of Corti. Hearing loss resulting from an abnormal auditory nerve. Hearing loss resulting from fracture of the cochlea. Hearing loss resulting from damage to bones of the middle ear.arrow_forwardOccupational Hearing Loss Frequent exposure to loud noise of a particular pitch can cause loss of hair cells in the part of the cochlea that responds to that pitch. People who work with or around noisy machinery are at risk for such frequency-specific hearing loss. Taking precautions such as using ear plugs to reduce sound exposure is important. Noise-induced hearing loss can be prevented, but once it occurs it is irreversible because dead or damaged hair cells are not replaced. FIGURE 33.24 shows the threshold decibel levels at which sounds of different frequencies can be detected by an average 25-year-old carpenter, a 50-year-old carpenter, and a 50-year-old who has not been exposed to on-the-job noise. Sound frequencies are given in hertz (cycles per second), The more cycles per second, the higher the pitch. FIGURE 33.24 Effects of age aria occupational noise exposure. The graph shows the threshold hearing capacities fin decibels) for sounds of different frequencies (given in hertz) in a 25-year-okj carpenter (blue). a 50-year-old carpenter (red), arid a 50-year-ofd who did not have any on-the-job noise exposure (brown). 1. Which sound frequency was most easily detected by all three people?arrow_forwardYou are experiencing some hearing loss. You don’t work with loud machinery or go to loud concerts. But, you do work in a busy smoothie bar, so have regular exposure to a loud blender. The ear doctor tells you that although blenders are only moderately loud, frequent exposure to sound levels greater than _______ (like the blender) has most likely caused damage to the cochlear hairs that produce those sounds. 75 dB 95 dB 125 dB 150 dB 175dBarrow_forward
- You have been infected by a virus that led to an inflammation of your cochlea and the destruction of inner ear hair cells. This situation would result in _____________________. Sensorineural hearing impairment Increased movement of stereocilia towards the kinocilium Central hearing impairment Conductive hearing impairment Loss of endolymph in the cochlear duct Please consider providing a detailed and elaborate explanation of both correct options and incorrect options.arrow_forwardVibrations of the stapes are transferred to the _________ window, waves displace the ___________ window at the base of the cochlea. Group of answer choices A. Tympanic, oval B. Round, oval C. Round, tympanic D. Oval, roundarrow_forwardA tuning fork is placed against the forehead of a patient. The sound is loudest in the left ear. What can you determine about the patient’s hearing? What is happening in the left ear and the right ear?

Physical examination shows difficulty locating sounds on the right whenthe sound is presented to both ears The most likelv cause is a cerebral infarction involving which of the following structures on the left?A) Inferior temporal gyrusB) Lateral geniculate nucleusC) Medial geniculate nucleusD) Middle temporal gyrusE) Pulvinararrow_forwardCochlear implants are devices that can be used to restore hearing in some individuals. The implant stimulates the cochlearnerve through electrical impulses. Why are cochlear implants not ideal for all types of hearing loss?arrow_forwardThe inner ear is responsible for both hearing and balance. One of the diseases affecting the inner ear is Meniere's disease. Affected individuals often experience vertigo, among other symptoms. Vertigo is a sensation that the surrounding is spinning or swaying in the absence of any body movement. Which of the following rows correctly identifies the affected structure and process in individuals experiencing vertigo? Select one: a. Structure Process Semicircular canals Rotational equilibrium b. Structure Process Semicircular canals Gravitational equilibrium c. Structure Process Organ of Corti Gravitational equilibrium d. Structure Process Organ of Corti Rotational equilibriumarrow_forward
