Hearing disorders and technologies

Damage to the cochlea results in what type of hearing loss?

• sensorineural hearing loss

• conductive hearing loss

Conductive hearing loss can be caused by damage to:

• tympanic membrane

• cochlea

• ossicles (ear bones)

• auditory canal

The hearing technology that amplifies sound is:

• bone conduction implant

• hearing aid

• cochlear implant

Which hearing technologies can help to address conductive hearing loss?

• bone conduction implant

• hearing aid

• cochlear implant

Which hearing technology uses the normal auditory pathway (does not bypass it)?

• bone conduction implant

• hearing aid

• cochlear implant

Damage to the ossicles results in what type of hearing loss?

• conductive hearing loss

• sensorineural hearing loss

An individual has damaged the hairs in their cochlea and has profound hearing loss. What hearing technology could be used to help this person?

• bone conduction implant

• hearing aid

• cochlear implant

An individual has damage to their ossicles and cannot transmit sound to their cochlea. Their auditory nerve is intact (not damaged). Which hearing technology would be recommended for them?

• bone conduction implant

• cochlear implant

• hearing aid

What type of hearing technology is shown in the image?

• hearing aid

• bone conduction implant

• cochlear implant

Cochlear implants stimulate which part of the ear?

• cochlea

• auditory nerve

• ossicles

• tympanic membrane
