3 tiny bones in the middle ear that helps us hear. They pass the sound vibrations from eardrum to inner ear.

Sends vibrations to the inner ear.

Small membrane covered opening in the middle ear that leads to the inner ear.

Connects the malleus and stapes.

Located upper portion of the inner ear is responsible for the sense of balance.

Snail shaped organ contains the parts necessary to convert the mechanical action of the middle ear into an electrical signal in inner ear that is transmitted to the brain.

Otoacoustic Emissions

Test that would measure sounds produced by the inner ear to see how well the cochlea is working.

Healthcare professional who tests hearing and helps diagnose and treat hearing problems.

Hearing test where a person listens to tones at different pitches and volumes to find quietest sounds they can hear.

The standard reference level used to measure hearing on the audiogram.

Test that measures how well a person can hear and understand speech.

Speech-reception threshold

Lowest level at which somebody can correctly hear and repeat speech about 50% of the time.

Conductive hearing impairment

Hearing loss caused by problems in outer or middle ear that blocks sound from reaching the inner ear.

Sensorineural hearing impairment

Hearing loss caused by damage to the inner ear or auditory nerve.

Mixed hearing impairment

Combination of conductive and sensorineural hearing loss.

Infection or inflammation of middle ear, most likely in children.

Gene that helps with inner ear function; mutations can cause inherited hearing loss.

Infection present at birth that can cause hearing loss in babies.

Cochlear implantation

Surgery where device is placed in inner ear to help people with severe hearing loss hear sounds.

Visual language that uses hand movements, facial expressions, and body language to communicate.
