NUMBER 1:
 The features of sound that are perceived by the hearing mechanism is the auricle (pinna)
is the visible portion of the outer ear. It collects sound waves and channels them into the
ear canal (external auditory meatus), where the sound is amplified. The sound waves then
travel toward a flexible, oval membrane at the end of the ear canal called the eardrum, or
tympanic membrane.
 SI Unit of sound intensity is decibel. Sound intensity is defined as the sound power per
unit area. A decibel is a ratio of the observed amplitude, or intensity level to a reference,
which is 0 dB.
NUMBER 2:
 Ultrasonic waves are acoustic waves that are so high in frequency that humans can't hear
them
 Infrasonic waves are sound waves that are lower in frequency than what humans can hear
 Supersonic waves are used for objects which travel at a speed greater than the speed of
sound
NUMBER 3:
 The test is not sensitive in differentiating conductive and sensorineural loss causes of total
sensorineural or severe unilateral hearing loss. False negatives are common in such
situations.
 Audiometry is simply a way of testing how well you can hear. Audiometry tests are
noninvasive, and they can tell you and your doctor whether you have any hearing loss.
NUMBER 4:
 Masking is the process by which the threshold of hearing for one sound is raised by the
presence of another sound.
 Deafness is defined as partial or complete hearing loss. Deaf and hard of hearing people
can experience anything from a very mild to a total loss of hearing
NUMBER 5:
A cochlear implant is a small, complex electronic device that can help to provide a sense of
sound to a person who is profoundly deaf or severely hard-of-hearing. The implant consists
of an external portion that sits behind the ear and a second portion that is surgically placed
under the skin (see figure). An implant has the following parts:
 A microphone, which picks up sound from the environment.
 A speech processor, which selects and arranges sounds picked up by the microphone.
 A transmitter and receiver/stimulator, which receive signals from the speech
processor and convert them into electric impulses.
 An electrode array, which is a group of electrodes that collects the impulses from the
stimulator and sends them to different regions of the auditory nerve.
NUMBER 6:
1. Tympanic membrane
Thin layer of tissue in the human ear that receives sound vibrations from the outer air and
transmits them to the auditory ossicles, which are tiny bones in the tympanic (middle-ear)
cavity
2. Malleus
Transmits vibrations caused by sound waves from the eardrum membrane to the liquid of
the inner ear.
3. Incus
The incus receives vibrations from the malleus, to which it is connected laterally, and
transmits these to the stapes medially
4. Stapes
The stapes is essential to our ability to hear. Sounds vibrate the tympanic membrane (the
eardrum) and travel through all three bones of the middle ear—the malleus, incus, and
stapes. As the sound waves travel through the middle ear they are amplified.
5. Oval window
Leads to movement of fluid within the cochlea and activation of receptors for hearing.
6. Scala vestibulli
Is a perilymph-filled cavity inside the cochlea of the inner ear that conducts sound
vibrations to the cochlear duct.
7. Vestibular membrane
Is a membrane inside the cochlea of the inner ear. It separates the cochlear duct from the
vestibular duct. which is important for the function of the spiral organ of Corti. It
primarily functions as a diffusion barrier, allowing nutrients to travel from the perilymph
to the endolymph of the membranous labyrinth.
8. Tectorical membrane
These include coupling elements along the length of the cochlea, supporting a travelling
wave and ensuring the gain and timing of cochlear feedback are optimal.
9. Cochlear branch of CN VIII
Responsible for the special sensation of hearing, and its vestibular portions are involved
in balance, spatial sensation, and posture.
10. Cochlea
Plays a key role in the sense of hearing and participates in the process of auditory
transduction. Sound waves are transduced into electrical impulses that the brain can
interpret as individual frequencies of sound.
11. Basilar membrane
Responsible for transforming sound waves into electrical impulses, which are then
transmitted to the brain. The basilar membrane is also responsible for identifying the
profile of the sound impinging on the ear.
12. Scala tympani
The scala tympani ends at the round window, a structure that provides a pressure relief for
movement of the cochlear fluid.
13. Round window
Response to pressure placed on the oval window by the ossicles.
