Title: Re: Describe the difference between bone conduction deafness and sensorineural deafn Post by: AlenTary on Sep 17, 2012 Bone conduction deafness:
• Result of disease or malformation of the outer or middle ear • All sound is weaker and muffled because it is not conducted correctly to the inner ear Sensorineural deafness: • Result of damage or malformation of the inner ear (cochlea) or the cochlear nerve • Some sounds are distorted and heard incorrectly |
