What is a vaccine?
A branch of medical science that deals with the incidence, distribution, and control of disease in a population
What is Epidemiology?

What is the Outer ear?
A type of hearing loss or impairment resulting from problems with the auditory nerves
What is Sensorineural hearing loss?
A procedure that presents the immune system with a harmless variant of a pathogen, thereby stimulating the immune system to mount a long-term defense against the pathogen

A DNA molecule made in vitro with segments from different sources
What is Recombinant DNA?
A type of epidemiological study where a group of exposed individuals and a group of non exposed individuals are followed over time to determine the incidence of disease
What is a Cohort Study?
An essential part of the vertebrae organ of hearing and equilibrium that includes the vestibule, the semicircular canals, and the cochlea
What is the Inner ear?
An electric prosthetic device that enables individuals with sensorineural hearing loss to recognize some sounds and that consists of an external microphone and speech processor that receive and convert sound waves
What is a Cochlear Implant?
What is Plasmid?
A type of epidemiologic study where a group of individuals with the diseases (cases) are compared to individuals without the disease (controls)
What is a Case-Control study?
