1.3.2 Conduction vs. Sensoneural Deafnness
Causes and Corrections
![Page 2: 1.3.2 Conduction vs. Sensoneural Deafnness Causes and Corrections](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649f115503460f94c2454e/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
• Conductive hearing problems are those that disrupt the conduction of sound through the outer and middle ear.
![Page 3: 1.3.2 Conduction vs. Sensoneural Deafnness Causes and Corrections](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649f115503460f94c2454e/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Conductive Hearing Loss
• Affects hearing before the sound reaches the cochlea and the nerve receptors of the inner ear.

The Good News
• Conduction deafness is often temporary or curable

Causes of Conduction Deafness
• Otitis Media• Middle ear infection• Chronic suppurative otitis media –
1.Peferation of the tympanic membrane
2. Bacterial infection

“Glue Ear” Collection of fluid in the middle ear - (otitis media with effusion)
• Thick, sticky fluid collects behind the eardrum. • The fluid blocks the middle part of the ear and
can cause impaired hearing.• It usually affects children.

Interventions for “Glue Ear”
• Antibiotics• Ear Tubes (grommet)

Cerumen
• Ear Wax
![Page 9: 1.3.2 Conduction vs. Sensoneural Deafnness Causes and Corrections](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649f115503460f94c2454e/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Blockage of the outer ear, usually by wax.

Otosclerosis
• Ossicles of the middle ear harden and become less able to vibrate.
![Page 12: 1.3.2 Conduction vs. Sensoneural Deafnness Causes and Corrections](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649f115503460f94c2454e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Otosclerosis
• Approximately one-third of all persons with impaired hearing have this condition.
• Hereditary• Damage to the ossicles, e.g. by serious infection or
head injury. • Perforated (pierced) eardrum, which can be caused
by an untreated ear infection (chronic suppurative otitis media), head injury or a blow to the ear, or from poking something in your ear.

Interventions
• Hearing aids -usually effective for conductive hearing loss.

Interventions
• Stapedectomy - top part of the stapes is removed. A laser beam is used to create a small hole in the footplate and a metal tube is inserted. A wire attached to the tube connects to the incus and transmits vibrations to the inner ear.

Sensorineural deafness
• Sensorineural deafness is decreased hearing or hearing loss that occurs from damage to the inner ear, the auditory nerve, or the brain.
![Page 17: 1.3.2 Conduction vs. Sensoneural Deafnness Causes and Corrections](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649f115503460f94c2454e/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
• Sensorineural hearing loss is most often due to a loss of hair cells (sensory receptors in the inner ear).
![Page 18: 1.3.2 Conduction vs. Sensoneural Deafnness Causes and Corrections](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649f115503460f94c2454e/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
• Sensorineural deafness can be present at birth (congenital), or it can develop later in life
• (SNHL) accounts for about 90% of all hearing loss
• Found in 23% of population older than 65 years of age
![Page 19: 1.3.2 Conduction vs. Sensoneural Deafnness Causes and Corrections](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649f115503460f94c2454e/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Causes of Sensorineural Deafness
• Presbycusis - hearing loss that gradually occurs in most individuals as they grow older
![Page 20: 1.3.2 Conduction vs. Sensoneural Deafnness Causes and Corrections](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649f115503460f94c2454e/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Presbycusis
• Aging
![Page 21: 1.3.2 Conduction vs. Sensoneural Deafnness Causes and Corrections](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649f115503460f94c2454e/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
• Loud noises (acoustic trauma)-

Duration
• The period of time the sound continues to exist.
• “Exposure to sound levels of 85 decibels, the equivalent of a lawn mower or food blender, may cause permanent hearing loss if endured for 8 hours per day for a prolonged period”

Healthy Cochlea
The cilia ( sensory hairs) appear normal
![Page 24: 1.3.2 Conduction vs. Sensoneural Deafnness Causes and Corrections](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649f115503460f94c2454e/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Damaged Cochlea
Loss of cilia as a result of Noise
![Page 25: 1.3.2 Conduction vs. Sensoneural Deafnness Causes and Corrections](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649f115503460f94c2454e/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Occupational Risk
• Some jobs carry a high risk for hearing loss, such as:
• Airline ground maintenance • Construction • Farming • Jobs involving loud music or machinery
![Page 26: 1.3.2 Conduction vs. Sensoneural Deafnness Causes and Corrections](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649f115503460f94c2454e/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Interventions:
• Hearing aid • Hearing aids will not restore normal hearing
or eliminate background noise. • Amplfies sound• Adjusting to a hearing aid is a gradual process
that involves learning to listen in a variety of environments and becoming accustomed to hearing different sounds.

Cochlear Implants
• Auditory understanding of the environment and helps in understanding speech.
• Does not reinstate or generate normal hearing.
• Compensates for damaged or non-working parts of the inner ear.
![Page 29: 1.3.2 Conduction vs. Sensoneural Deafnness Causes and Corrections](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649f115503460f94c2454e/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
• Surgically implanted under the skin behind the ear, this device is made of four basic parts:
• microphone picks up sound from the environment
• speech processor translates the sounds picked up by the microphone into signals
• transmitter and receiver/stimulator receive these signals and convert them into electric impulses
• electrodes send these impulses to the brain.

Cholesteatoma
• Benign skin growth in the middle ear, causing deafness and vertigo
![Page 31: 1.3.2 Conduction vs. Sensoneural Deafnness Causes and Corrections](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649f115503460f94c2454e/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Intervention
• surgical removal of the cyst.

Intervention

Tinnitus
• Ringing in the ears • Most tinnitus comes from damage to the
microscopic endings of the hearing nerve in the inner ear.
