Hearing conduction
Review of air and bone conduction hearing
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| The air conduction pathway is the | outer ear, middle ear, inner ear, auditory nerve |
| the bone conduction pathway is the | inner ear, auditory nerve |
| When air conduction is impaired and bone conduction is normal, the interpretation is | conductive hearing loss |
| When air conduction is impaired and bone conduction is impaired to the same degree, the interpretation is | sensorineural hearing loss |
| when air conduction is normal and bone conduction is normal, the interpretation is | normal hearing |
| when air conduction is impaired and bone conduction is impaired, but to a lesser degree, the interpretation is | mixed hearing loss |
| the conductive mechanism is comprised of | outer ear and middle ear |
| the sensorineural mechanism is comprised of | inner ear and auditory nerve |
