🗑
basilar membrane(inner ear)   contains thousands of hair cells that connect to auditory nerve endings  
🗑
hair cells( inner ear )   convert sound waves into electrical signals  
🗑

🗑
normal hearing range   0-25dB  
🗑
profound range   > 90 dB  
🗑
conductive loss is from   deformation, malfunction, or obstruction of the outer or middle ear; impacts audibility  
🗑
three outer ear disorders   anotia, microtia, atresia  
🗑
anotia   absence of the pinna on one or both sides  
🗑
microtia   small, malformed pinna that does not result in loss of hearing sensitivity by itself  
🗑
atresia   closure of the auditory canal  
🗑

🗑
otosclerosis   replacement of healthy bone w/ spongy bone in the area of the stapes footplate; results in reduced mobility of the stapes  
🗑
