Wernicke’s area
Interpreting speech, receptive aphasia, can’t understand the language, but can speak fine
Broca’s area

Parts of the external ear
- Auricle/pinna
- External auditory meatus
- Tragus
- Helix
- Lobule
- Tympanic membrane
Parts of the middle ear
- Malleus
- Incus
- Stapes
- Eustachian tube
Parts of the inner ear (aka labyrinth)
- Bony labyrinth
- Vestibule
- Semicircular canals
- Cochlea
How the ear works
- Sound waves enter the ear
- They strike the tympanic membrane
- Stapes vibrates the oval window
- Vibrations enter cochlea (which vibrates it’s basilar membrane)
- These vibrations bend hair cells and convert to electrical impulses which travel to the brain via cranial nerve 8
3 types of hearing loss
- Conductive (mechanical, otosclerosis)
- Sensorineural (nerve damage)
- Mixed
Otosclerosis
A hereditary disorder which cause progressive hearing loss due to overgrowth of bone in the inner ear

Ringing in ears
Vertigo
Spinning sensation
Otitis
Ear infection
Labyrinthitis
Inner ear infection
