The ear is a very complex organ, consisting of different parts and capable of performing many functions. The main role is played by the ear nerves - the anterior and posterior parts. The anterior part of the ear controls almost the entire tympanic membrane, the pars Corti, the auditory ossicles, as well as nerve connections and tissue. The process of damage to these nerves is called otoneuropathy.
The first of the structures under consideration is important in the regulation of many body functions. This is a paired central nerve that provides impulses to the brain from organs located in the sensory area. It comes directly from the central nervous system. As a result of damage to the anterior nerves, a person stops hearing, although he may retain normal functioning of other parts of the ear.
The auricular branch of the anterior part transmits impulses directly from the auditory cortex. They are usually divided according to the specifics of their placement in a particular location. One of the varieties is the second turn (bridge branch). It is closely connected with the second knee. The inferior, posterior and superior branches are also affected. The left and right knee joints function in parallel, ensuring the transmission of impulses through the saccoid. Brain damage can cause a functional imbalance between the two hemispheres, which consequently impairs hearing function.
In case of damage to the auditory roots, it is not possible to achieve restoration to the previous level; they become auditory only partially. With prolonged disruption of the nerve trunk, irreparable changes are observed, which are accompanied by functional failures. They negatively affect human health.
