Understanding the functions of the ear Pathway of hearing Process of hearing. ● Movement of the fluid in the inner ear, or cochlea, causes changes in tiny structures called hair cells. This movement of the hair cells sends electric signals from the inner ear up the auditory nerve to the brain. ● The brain then interprets these electrical signals as sound. 3. 04 Understand the functions and disorders of the sensory system 19

Disorders of the ear: Presbycusis What is the difference between conductive hearing loss and sensory hearing loss? • Conductive hearing loss occurs when there is a problem conducting sound waves anywhere along the route. • May occur with sensorineural hearing loss or alone. • Treatment is a hearing aid. 37

Disorders of the ear: Presbycusis What is the difference between conductive hearing loss and

Disorders of the ear: Presbycusis What is the difference between conductive hearing loss and sensory hearing loss? • Occurs when there is damage to the inner ear or to the nerve pathways from the inner ear to the brain. Most of the time SNHL cannot be medically or surgically corrected • This is the most common type of permanent hearing loss 38
