Difference between Hearing and Sensorineural hearing loss

Hearing vs. Sensorineural hearing loss

Hearing, or auditory perception, is the ability to perceive sounds by detecting vibrations, changes in the pressure of the surrounding medium through time, through an organ such as the ear. Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) is a type of hearing loss, or deafness, in which the root cause lies in the inner ear or sensory organ (cochlea and associated structures) or the vestibulocochlear nerve (cranial nerve VIII).

Similarities between Hearing and Sensorineural hearing loss

Hearing and Sensorineural hearing loss have 21 things in common (in Unionpedia): Action potential, Audiogram, Audiometry, Basilar membrane, Brainstem, Cochlea, Cochlear nerve, Conductive hearing loss, Ear, Eardrum, Endolymph, Hair cell, Hearing aid, Hearing loss, Hearing range, Organ of Corti, Oval window, Presbycusis, Round window, Stroke, Tinnitus.

Action potential

In physiology, an action potential occurs when the membrane potential of a specific axon location rapidly rises and falls: this depolarisation then causes adjacent locations to similarly depolarise.

Audiogram

An audiogram is a graph that shows the audible threshold for standardized frequencies as measured by an audiometer.

Audiometry

Audiometry (from audīre, "to hear" and metria, “to measure") is a branch of audiology and the science of measuring hearing acuity for variations in sound intensity and pitch and for tonal purity, involving thresholds and differing frequencies.

Basilar membrane

The basilar membrane within the cochlea of the inner ear is a stiff structural element that separates two liquid-filled tubes that run along the coil of the cochlea, the scala media and the scala tympani (see figure).

Brainstem

The brainstem (or brain stem) is the posterior part of the brain, adjoining and structurally continuous with the spinal cord.

Cochlea

The cochlea is the part of the inner ear involved in hearing.

Cochlear nerve

The cochlear nerve (also auditory or acoustic neuron) is one of two parts of the vestibulocochlear nerve, a cranial nerve present in amniotes, the other part being the vestibular nerve.

Conductive hearing loss

Conductive hearing loss occurs when there is a problem conducting sound waves anywhere along the route through the outer ear, tympanic membrane (eardrum), or middle ear (ossicles).

Ear

The ear is the organ of hearing and, in mammals, balance.

Eardrum

In the anatomy of humans and various other tetrapods, the eardrum, also called the tympanic membrane or myringa, is a thin, cone-shaped membrane that separates the external ear from the middle ear.

Endolymph

Endolymph is the fluid contained in the membranous labyrinth of the inner ear.

Hair cell

Hair cells are the sensory receptors of both the auditory system and the vestibular system in the ears of all vertebrates.

Hearing aid

A hearing aid is a device designed to improve hearing by making sound audible to a person with hearing loss.

Hearing loss

Hearing loss, also known as hearing impairment, is a partial or total inability to hear.

Hearing range

Hearing range describes the range of frequencies that can be heard by humans or other animals, though it can also refer to the range of levels.

Organ of Corti

The organ of Corti, or spiral organ, is the receptor organ for hearing and is located in the mammalian cochlea.

Oval window

The oval window (or fenestra vestibuli) is a membrane-covered opening that leads from the middle ear to the vestibule of the inner ear.

Presbycusis

Presbycusis (also spelled presbyacusis, from Greek presbys "old" + akousis "hearing"), or age-related hearing loss, is the cumulative effect of aging on hearing.

Round window

The round window is one of the two openings from the middle ear into the inner ear.
