Peripheral deafness is a form of hearing impairment that is associated with damage to the cochlea and other peripheral areas of the auditory system. This form of deafness can occur as a result of both congenital anomalies and acquired diseases.
Peripheral deafness can manifest itself in different ways depending on the cause of its occurrence and the extent of damage to the auditory system. It can be unilateral or bilateral, progressive or unchanged in nature. In some cases, peripheral deafness can be combined with other dysfunctions of the vestibular apparatus.
The main causes of peripheral deafness are hereditary factors, exposure to toxic substances, infectious diseases, trauma, autoimmune and systemic diseases. One of the most common diseases leading to peripheral deafness is noise trauma. Chronic exposure to high levels of noise to the cochlea and other areas of the auditory system can lead to damage and the development of deafness.
Diagnosis of peripheral deafness includes an audiometric examination and other special studies that allow us to determine the extent of damage to the auditory system and its causes. Treatment of peripheral deafness can include both conservative methods (for example, the use of hearing aids) and surgical interventions (for example, cochlear implants).
Although peripheral deafness is a serious hearing impairment, there are special training and adaptation methods that help people with this disease improve communication and daily life. One such method is speech therapy, which helps restore or develop speech in people with hearing loss.
The disease name deafness refers to various types of hearing impairment and is a general term used to describe cases where a person cannot hear sound. It is a general term used in medicine to describe all hearing impairments, except that hearing impairment often results in the loss of the ability to understand words spoken by others or to communicate words to a person who is hearing impaired. In most cases, the cause is diseases of the ear, nose and throat, called otolaryngology diseases. These names come from the Latin phrase auris, which means ears. There are also many hearing disorders that are related to the auditory nerves and auditory center in the brain. The rest of this article will describe deafness and its types.
Deafness is the most severe form of hearing loss. It is called "deafness" because it occurs for many reasons. The most common cause of loss is a bacterial (infectious) cause, and the infection is caused by microorganisms called staphylococci. Deaf is the medical term to describe a person with hearing loss. Hearing is tested by testing his/her ability to understand the speech of others. Another method that is used to evaluate his ability to hear others is the tone dipole test. This is an audiological test performed by an experienced audiologist and medical personnel to determine the accuracy of auditory perception of tones such as piano. Another tool used to test a person's hearing is test spectra, which have levels similar to electric guitar chords. They can be used to test the hearing impaired. Sound tests are carried out for
