Cochlear implants could possible help a person who has a problem with this section of the ear.
What is inner ear?
200
A sound wave's frequency is determined by this
What is how high the pitch is?
200
Sound waves like other waves travel through these three media
What is gas, liquid, and solid?

Opening in the skull for the auditory canal
What is external acoustic meatus?
200
An inflamation of the middle ear
What is otitis media?
200
Part of the ear helps maintain balance
What is the semicircular canals?
300
In a high frequency wave, the wave period will be......
What is close together?
300
Decibels measure changes in this.
What is sound intensity ==~loudness
300
A projection from the undersurface of a portion of the temporal bone. It is located just behind the external acoustic meatus.
What is mastoid process/bone
300
Loss of hearing due to a reduction of sound through the outer ear canal, eardrum, and the tiny bones of the middle ear
What is Conductive hearing note due to impact of earwax, infection of the otitis media, foreign body, malformation
300
Drains the middle ear of fluid and equilizes air pressure.
What is the Eustachian tube?
400
A sound wave shows a low pitch and quiet.
What is a low frequency and low amplitude?
400
This is the frequency for human hearing.
What is 20 Hz - 20,000 Hz
400
A hearing test that compares perception of sounds, as transmitted by air or by bone conduction through the mastoid.
What is the Rhine Test?

This is an example of when a train passes you by and you hear the engine. The pitch of the engine appears to change as it passes.
What is the Doppler effect? changing frequency because of motion
500
A quick screening test for hearing. It can detect unilateral (one-sided) conductive hearing loss and unilateral sensorineural hearing loss.
What is the Weber test?
500
Converts physical vibrations into electrical impulses.
What is Audtitory Canal?
500
Ringing of the ears
What is tinnitis?
500
This type of hearing loss is caused by damage to the inner cochlea or to the nerve pathways from the inner ear to the brain
What is sensorineural hearing loss?
