GRADED A+
◉ what is conductive hearing loss Answer: hearing loss that is due to
diminished sound reaching middle and inner ear.
◉ sensorineural hearing loss Answer: the most common form of hearing
loss, also called nerve deafness; caused by damage to the cochlea's
receptor cells or to the auditory nerves
◉ menieres disease Answer: tinnitus, vertigo, unilateral fluctuating
hearing loss. nausea vomiting or diaphoresis may occur. cause is
unknown. meds are used to control symptoms
◉ otosclerosis Answer: conductive hearing loss that occurs when osicles
become softened, spongy, highly vascular and partially or totally fixed.
TX=H
