There are several types of hearing loss that can occur depending on which part of the ear is affected. Conductive hearing loss occurs when sound cannot reach the inner ear, usually due to issues with the outer or middle ear like earwax buildup, infections, or problems with the eardrum or tiny bones that transmit sound. Sensorineural hearing loss affects the inner ear or auditory nerve, preventing sound from being interpreted by the brain, and can result from aging, noise exposure, viruses, or medications. Mixed hearing loss is a combination of both conductive and sensorineural hearing loss. Central auditory processing disorder affects the brain's ability to understand sound patterns.
This document discusses various causes and characteristics of conductive and sensorineural hearing loss. Conductive hearing loss can be acquired from wax, foreign bodies, ear canal atresia, tympanic membrane perforations, or middle ear problems. Sensorineural hearing loss can be acquired from noise exposure, medications, infections, genetic syndromes, or presbycusis. Characteristics of conductive hearing loss include better bone conduction, negative Rinne test, and gap between air and bone conduction thresholds. Characteristics of sensorineural hearing loss include poorer bone conduction, positive Rinne test, and greater than 60 dB loss with poor speech discrimination. Treatment options are discussed depending on the cause.
Hearing loss can be conductive, sensorineural, or mixed. Conductive hearing loss occurs when sound is not conducted efficiently through the outer ear canal or middle ear. Sensorineural hearing loss involves damage to the inner ear or auditory nerve. Hereditary and noise-induced hearing loss are common causes of sensorineural hearing loss. Other causes include traumatic injury, infection, ototoxic drugs, presbycusis, and idiopathic conditions. Hearing is evaluated through tests like tuning fork tests, pure tone audiometry, speech audiometry, and tympanometry.
This document summarizes various causes and types of sensori-neural hearing loss (SNHL). It notes that SNHL affects 278 million people worldwide according to the WHO, and is one of the top 20 global burdens of disease. Causes include genetic syndromic and non-syndromic conditions present at birth, as well as acquired causes like presbyacusis, noise-induced hearing loss, ototoxicity from certain drugs, trauma, and idiopathic sudden SNHL. Ototoxic drugs like aminoglycoside antibiotics and chemotherapy agents can cause permanent SNHL. Prevention, early detection, and treatment options vary depending on the underlying cause.

Sound is a longitudinal wave that travels faster in denser and more elastic materials and at higher temperatures. It travels fastest in solids like the ground, slower in liquids like water, and slowest in gases like air. The frequency of a sound wave determines its pitch, with higher frequencies corresponding to higher pitches. When a sound source moves towards a listener, the sound waves are compressed, increasing the observed frequency and pitch via the Doppler effect.
The document provides test-taking strategies and sample questions from a clerical skills test. It recommends getting adequate rest before the test, following all directions carefully, and answering all questions even if unsure of the answer. It explains that tests are used to objectively measure job-relevant skills and abilities. The sample questions assess skills such as basic math calculations, alphabetizing names, spelling, and comparing addresses.
This describes the ultrasound findings in various types of ectopic pregnancies. This also goes on to integrate Beta hCG into the diagnostic algorithm of ectopic pregnancy. The lecture also briefly introduces the use of progesterone levels in the diagnostic work-up of ectopic pregnancy.
The document discusses different types of waves including longitudinal waves, transverse waves, and compressional waves. It describes properties of sound waves like amplitude, frequency, wavelength, and wave velocity. It discusses how sound is perceived by humans in terms of pitch and loudness. It covers topics like ultrasound, infrasound, interference, the Doppler effect, and resonance. It provides an example of how a girl named Tilly recognized an incoming tsunami in Thailand and was able to save over 100 tourists by convincing them to quickly evacuate the beach.
Certain medications like aminoglycoside antibiotics and chemotherapy drugs can cause permanent hearing loss or damage to balance functions. Audiometric monitoring of high frequencies above 8 kHz is the most effective way to detect this ototoxicity early. High frequencies are affected first, which can later degrade speech understanding if the hearing loss spreads to lower frequencies that are important for speech. Early detection allows for potential intervention to minimize ototoxic impacts.
Otosclerosis is a primary disease of the bony labyrinth that causes one or more foci of irregularly laid spongy bone to replace the normally dense bone of the otic capsule. It most commonly involves the stapes region, leading to stapes fixation and conductive hearing loss. The exact cause is unknown but factors like heredity, race, age, and endocrine changes have been proposed. Stapedectomy or stapedotomy with prosthesis placement is the treatment of choice for symptomatic cases. Complications can include injury to surrounding structures like the facial nerve or chorda tympani during surgery.
This document discusses ototoxicity, or damage to the inner ear from chemicals. It defines ototoxicity and lists common ototoxic drugs like aminoglycosides, diuretics, antimalarials, and anticancer drugs.

This document discusses Meniere's disease, including its history, symptoms, pathophysiology, variants, and diagnostic criteria. Some key points:
- Meniere's disease causes episodes of vertigo, hearing loss, tinnitus, and a feeling of fullness in the ear. It is associated with endolymphatic hydrops (fluid buildup) in the inner ear.
- The cause is multifactorial but may involve abnormalities in endolymphatic fluid production, absorption, or circulation within the inner ear.
- Diagnosis requires recurrent episodes of vertigo, hearing loss, and tinnitus. Hearing loss must be sensorineural and involve low frequencies.
-
Meniere's disease is a disorder of the inner ear that causes episodes of vertigo, hearing loss, and tinnitus. It results from endolymphatic hydrops, or a distension of the endolymphatic system in the inner ear. It typically affects people between 35-60 years old and is more common in females. Treatment involves managing symptoms during attacks and preventing future attacks. Medical treatment focuses on symptom relief through lifestyle changes, medications, and intratympanic injections. Surgical options include endolymphatic sac surgery, vestibular nerve section, ultrasonic destruction of the vestibular labyrinth, and labyrinthectomy.
Meniere's disease is characterized by episodes of vertigo, tinnitus, and hearing loss caused by endolymphatic hydrops, or swelling of the inner ear fluid compartments. The exact cause is unknown but may involve defective fluid absorption, vasomotor disturbances, or sodium/water retention. Diagnosis is based on symptoms and ruling out other causes. Treatment focuses on managing vertigo attacks, reducing fluid pressure through diet/diuretics, and surgery such as endolymphatic sac decompression for severe cases. Prognosis varies but many patients experience stabilization over time.
The document summarizes the anatomy and embryology of the ear and related structures. It is divided into four main parts: outer, middle and inner ear, as well as pharynx. The outer ear collects and directs sound waves. The middle ear contains ossicles that amplify vibrations through the tympanic membrane. The inner ear converts these vibrations into neural signals via hair cells in the cochlea. The pharynx is divided into naso, oro, and hypopharynx and contains structures like the tonsils, epiglottis and vocal cords. Embryologically, the structures develop from pharyngeal arches which contribute muscles, nerves and skeletal components to the head
The ear is made up of three sections - the outer, middle, and inner ear. The outer ear collects sounds and funnels them through the ear canal. In the middle ear, the eardrum vibrates and these vibrations are transmitted by three small bones to the inner ear. In the inner ear, vibrations are converted to nerve signals that travel to the brain. The inner ear also contains semicircular canals that help with balance by detecting movement. Common ear problems include ear infections, earwax buildup, deafness, and Meniere's disease. To keep ears healthy, avoid putting objects in the ear canal and protect your hearing from loud noises.

OTITIS PPT nursing Management of patient suffering from ear disordersSuryaMohanJha
Otitis media is an infection of the middle ear caused by bacteria or viruses that often spreads from colds, flu, or allergies. Young children are most at risk as their Eustachian tubes are smaller. Symptoms include ear pain, fever, irritability, and hearing loss. Diagnosis involves examining the ear with an otoscope. Treatment involves antibiotics, antihistamines, decongestants, or surgery like myringotomy to drain fluid if it persists. Meniere's disease causes vertigo, hearing loss, and tinnitus and may be due to genetic factors or viral infections that cause fluid buildup in the inner ear. Diagnosis involves audiology tests and treatment focuses on
The document summarizes canine ear anatomy and function. It describes the three parts of the ear - outer, middle, and inner. The outer ear includes the pinna and ear canal. Sound is captured and funneled through the ear canal to the eardrum. The middle ear contains small bones that transmit sound vibrations to the inner ear, which includes the cochlea for hearing and vestibular system for balance. Common ear disorders in dogs are examined and diagnosed through visual inspection, use of an otoscope, samples, and further tests if needed. Causes, signs, treatment, and prevention of ear infections are discussed. The document concludes with an overview of topics to be covered in the next class
This document provides an overview of approaches to deafness, including types and causes of hearing loss, diagnosing hearing loss through various tests, and managing different types of hearing loss. It discusses conductive hearing loss due to defects in the outer or middle ear, sensorineural hearing loss due to inner ear or nerve problems, and mixed hearing loss. Common causes include presbycusis, noise exposure, meningitis, and ototoxic drugs. Diagnostic tests include tuning fork tests, pure tone audiometry, impedance testing, and brainstem response audiometry. Management involves hearing aids, cochlear implants, assistive devices, and training programs.
This document discusses medical diagnostics used to evaluate ear conditions like otitis media and otosclerosis. It describes imaging tests like CT scans and MRIs that are useful for visualizing bony and soft tissues of the ear. Otitis media is an inflammation of the middle ear that is usually caused by bacteria and often accompanies respiratory infections. It is more common in young children and can be treated with antibiotics or tubes. Left untreated, it can lead to permanent hearing loss or other complications. Otosclerosis occurs when excessive bone growth fixates the stapes, resulting in a conductive hearing loss. It is often treated surgically by removing the stapes and placing a prosthesis.
The document discusses the anatomy and physiology of the human ear, including its three main parts: outer, middle, and inner ear. It describes the structures and functions of each part, such as how sound waves are transmitted through the outer and middle ear to vibrations in the inner ear. Common disorders that can cause hearing loss in each part of the ear are also outlined, such as ear infections, wax buildup, and noise-induced trauma. The role of the eardrum, ossicles, cochlea, and auditory nerve in transforming sound waves into neural signals is reviewed.
This document discusses various types and causes of deafness. It defines deafness as a partial or complete loss of hearing. Some key causes mentioned include inner ear damage from infection, disease, loud noise, or age; conditions like Meniere's disease, Ramsay Hunt syndrome, cytomegalovirus infection, bacterial meningitis, sickle cell disease, otosyphilis, Lyme disease, diabetes, thyroid disease, rheumatoid arthritis, tumors, and certain medications like streptomycin. The document also outlines evaluation and treatment options for deafness like physical exams, screening tests, audiometry exams, surgery, hearing aids, cochlear implants, and aural rehabilitation.
Tinnitus is a condition where a person perceives sound when no external sound is present. It affects 10-15% of the population. Tinnitus can be caused by hearing loss, ear infections, head or neck injuries, certain medications, Meniere's disease, Eustachian tube dysfunction, changes in the ear bones, muscle spasms in the inner ear, acoustic neuromas or other tumors, blood vessel disorders, and TMJ problems. Sonus Complete is a natural supplement that may help treat tinnitus by supporting brain demands with vitamins, minerals and other elements.

3) It discusses two main types of glaucoma - open angle and closed angle glaucoma. It provides details on symptoms, risk factors, pathophysiology, and differences between the two types.
Middle ear myoclonus is a rare cause of tinnitus where there are involuntary muscle spasms in the middle ear. The middle ear contains small muscles like the tensor tympani and stapedius that contract to dampen loud sounds. Myoclonus is uncontrolled spasms of these muscles that cause phantom sounds perceived as tinnitus. Tinnitus is commonly associated with hearing loss but can also occur independently. Its causes include noise exposure, Meniere's disease, medications and tumors. Treatment involves identifying and treating the underlying cause of myoclonus when possible.
otalgia.pptx ear disorder of bsc nursingIsitaSarkar
The document discusses otalgia, or ear pain. It defines otalgia and describes the causes as either primary, originating within the ear, or secondary, referred from other areas like teeth or throat. Common causes of primary otalgia include external ear infections or middle ear infections like otitis media. Symptoms may include ear pain, fever, irritability, and difficulty hearing. Diagnosis involves medical history, physical exam of the ear canal and eardrum, and sometimes imaging tests. Treatment depends on the underlying cause but may include antibiotics, analgesics, or sometimes surgery to drain fluid or place ear tubes for chronic infections.
Ms. Elizabeth presented on age-related hearing loss (presbycusis). It is a common condition linked to aging where hearing is slowly lost in both ears, with about 30 out of 100 adults over 65 having some hearing loss. Causes include long-term noise exposure, aging, genetics, certain health conditions, medications, race, income level, infections, and smoking. Symptoms are difficulty hearing conversations, high pitches, or sounds that seem too loud. Diagnosis involves tests of the ear canal, eardrum, hearing levels, and middle ear function. Treatments include hearing aids, assistive devices, speech reading, cochlear implants, and middle ear implants. Nursing considerations are involving family, speaking slowly

6. CONGENITAL Disorders
A disorder that is present at birth.
Can be hereditary (such as a genetic
syndrome like Treacher Collin’s
Syndrome). Or, can be from another
source - like when fetus is affected by
maternal Rubella.
7. Conductive Hearing
Loss
Occurs when there
exists a complication
somewhere between
the outer ear and the
middle ear.
8. Sensorineural Hearing
Loss
A loss affecting an
inner ear structure or
the auditory nerve.
Typically a permanent
loss.
9. How Sound Travels Thru the Ear
• Sound enters the auricle. The alternating
pattern of high/low pressure is entered in
here: pressure wave.
• Then into the ear canal. This is 2 cm
long.
• Then the ear drum. At this point
pressure wave is transformed to
mechanical wave (this is converted to
vibrations).
10. Then into the middle ear…
• Then to the 3 tiny bones (also called the
ossicles). The names of the bones are:
malleus (hammer), incus (anvil), and stapes
(stirrups).
• As it reaches the stapes, mechanical wave
transforms to compression wave within the
fluid. The stapes gives off 15 times more
vibrations than that of the ear drum.
11. Eustachian Tube
• Is air filled cavity – it allows for
equalization of pressure.
12. And the Inner Ear…
• Once it enters the oval window,
sound enters two areas: cochlea
and semicircular canals.
• Thru the cochlea which is lined with
20,000 hair-like nerve cells (it is the
most critical role in the ability to
hear). This is where more amplitude
of vibration occurs. Compression
wave transforms to electrical impulse.
13. And Finally…….
• Then it passes thru the auditory nerve to the
brain – capable of interpreting qualities of
sound upon reception of electric nerve
impulses.
14. Meniere’s Disease
• Meniere's disease is a disorder of the
inner ear which causes episodes of
vertigo, ringing in the ears (tinnitus), a
feeling of fullness or pressure in the ear,
and fluctuating hearing loss. It is
difficult to live with and can often cause
victims to seek psychological help.
16. Who has Meniere’s Disease?
• Alan Shepard
• Emily Dickinson
• Van Vough
• Martin Luthor
17. Meningitis
• Meningitis is a medical condition caused
by inflammation of the protective
membranes covering the brain and
spinal cord, known collectively as the
meninges.
• Diagnosed with use of a spinal tap.
• Symptoms: severe pain in the ear,
irritability, and fever, headaches, and
sometimes a purplish rash.
18. Otitis Media
• Otitis media is an infection or
inflammation of the middle ear.
• This inflammation often begins when
infections that cause sore throats, colds,
or other respiratory or breathing
problems spread to the middle ear.
19. • Otitis Media, continued….
• It is very isolating.
• Teens who have it are not aware that there
is anyone else out there suffering from the
same problems.
• Symptoms include severe pain in the ear,
irritability, and fever.
• This affects children’s speech between 3
months and 3 years.
20. A famous person
• Lou Ferrigno “The Incredible Hulk” had
Otitis Media and lost his hearing to this
disease.
21. Ototoxicity
• A poisoning of the ear.
• Ototoxicity is damage of the ear (oto),
specifically the cochlea or auditory nerve
and sometimes the vestibulum, by a toxin
(often medication).
• Symptoms: Severe pain in the ear,
irritability, and fever
22. Otosclerosis
• Otosclerosis is the abnormal growth of bone
of the middle ear. This bone prevents
structures within the ear from working
properly and causes hearing loss.
• Symptoms: Severe tinnitus, recurring
auditory memories, and frequent vertigo.
23. Did you know?
• William Peterson of CSI: Las Vegas has
Otosclerosis and a deaf mother in real
life!
24. Rubella
• Also known as German Measles or “3-day
measles”
• an infection that primarily affects the skin
and lymph nodes
• usually transmitted by droplets from the nose
or throat that others breathe in
26. Treacher Collin’s Syndrome
• Treacher Collins syndrome is a genetic,
craniofacial birth defect that is
characterized by a range of distinctive facial
anomalies.
• The main characteristics of TCS are
downward slanting eyes, small lower jaw,
and malformed or missing ears.
• These anomalies can cause hearing,
breathing, and eating problems.
27. Symptoms and Treatments
• Characterized by auricles that are small
or low on the head, eyes that are sunken
and droopy, and a cleft palete.
• It can be treated with hearing tests
and/or plastic surgery.
28. Usher’s Syndrome
• Usher syndrome is the most common
condition that affects both hearing and
vision starting with peripheral vision.
• Usher syndrome is inherited, which means
that it is passed from parents to their
children through genes.
29. Usher’s Syndrome
• It can affect an unborn infant and cause them to be
deaf and/or blind if their mother comes in contact
with someone who has it.
• It is not a common disease because both parents
must have the gene.
• It occurs 4 in 100,000 births. Usher syndrome is
inherited, which means that it is passed from
parents to their children through genes.
