25
condition in the middle or outer ear impair transmission of sound
conductive hearing loss
26
impairment of function of the crainal nerve
sensorineural hearing loss
27
combo of conductive and sensorineural
mixed hearing loss
28
inability to interpret sound due to problem in the brain
central and functional hearing loss
29
hearing loss associated with aging
presbycusis
30
* Infection of the middle ear * Most frequently seen in children
acute otitis media
31
Result of recurrent acute otitis media; damages the tympanic membrane and ossicle, and involves the mastoid
chronic otitis media
32
surgical incision into the eardrum, to relieve pressure or drain fluid
myringitomy
33
surgical incision into the eardrum, to relieve pressure or drain fluid.
tympanotomy
34
Reconstruction of the tympanic membrane
tympanoplasty
35
Reconstruction of the bones of the middle ear
ossiculoplasty
36
Removal of diseased bone and mastoid air cells to create a noninfected, healthy ear
mastoidectomy
37
* Most common cause of hearing loss in young adults * Spongy bone develops causing fixation of the footplate of the stapes in the oval window * Typically bilateral
otosclerosis
38
Characterized by symptoms caused by inner ear disease * Episodic vertigo, tinnitus, fluctuating sensorineural hearing loss, aural fullness * Results in excessive accumulation of endolymph in the membranous labyrinth, causing rupture * Hearing loss fluctuates * Eventually becomes permanent
meniere's disease
