Parts of the Ear and hearing loss
This is a very important part of the ear that consists of the cochlea, semicircular canals, and vestibule
What is Inner Ear?
This is mechanical energy that by transmitted by longitudinal pressure waves in a medium, which is the substance that sound waves travel through to be heard. Then it can be heard when it reaches a persons ear
What is Sound?
This is a procedure that introduces the immune system with a weakened version of a disease that stimulates the immune system to make long-term defense against the pathogen
What is Vaccination?
This is a DNA molecule that is artificially made in vitro with segments from different sources
What is Recombinant DNA?
This affects an unusually large Number of people within a population, community, or religion at the same time
What is Epidemic?
This part if the ear contains three tiny bones called ossicles that extend from the tympanic membrane to the oval window and also transmits vibrations to the inner ear
What is Middle Ear?
This is a graph that shows a person's ability to hear by showing the softest sounds they can hear at different frequencies (pitches) and intensities (loudness)
What is Audiogram?
This is a harmless version of a disease that stimulates your bodies immune system to mount defenses against the pathogen and get rid of it
Vaccine
This is a small ring of DNA that has extra genes that are separate from those of the bacterial chromosome
What is Plasmid?
This is a specific branch of medical science that deals with the control of a disease in a population
What is Epidemiology?
This is the outer visible part of the ear that collects and funnels sound waves toward the tympanic membrane through the canal, which extends inward through the temporal bone. It contains the pina(auricle), and External auditory canal (ear canal)
what is external ear?
This is an electrical prosthetic device that helps people with profound hearing loss or sensorineural hearing loss recognize sounds and voices. A Cochlear Implant consists of an outside microphone and a speech processor that receives and converts sound waves into electrical signals, which are transmitted to one or more electrodes in the cochlea where they stimulate the auditory nerve. It bypasses the damaged inner ear (cochlea) and directly stimulates the auditory nerve
What is Cochlear Implant?
These are proteins from bacteria that cut up DNA at specific sequences. They basically act as molecular scissors for genetic engineering
What is restriction enzyme?
This study takes people who are very similar and follows them to see how a specific exposure or risk factor that affects their health
What is Cohort study?
This is a type of hearing loss that happens when there is damage to the inner ear (cochlea) or the auditory nerve that connects the inner ear to the brain. This could be caused by exposure to loud noises, aging, head trauma, infections (e.g., meningitis, mumps), certain medications, or genetic disorders
What is Sensorineural Hearing Loss?
This study compares people with a specific disease or cases to similar group of people without to identify some possible risk factors by looking back in time
What is Case-control study?
This is a type of hearing loss that happens when sound waves are blocked from reaching the inner ear. This could be because of earwax buildup, ear infections (otitis media), damage to the eardrum, malformations of the ear canal or middle ear structures, cholesteatoma (a skin-like growth in the middle ear), or otosclerosis (a hardening of the middle ear bones)
What is Conductive Hearing Loss?
