Paracusis Willis

Paracusis Willisii (par-Greek + akusis hearing, + willisia) is a phenomenon that was discovered by the German physician and physiologist Hermann von Willis in 1862. It lies in the fact that, under certain conditions, people can hear sounds that are not perceived by other people.

Paracusis Willisii is associated with hearing loss. For example, if the auditory nerve is damaged or if there is a disease of the inner ear, a person may hear sounds that are not present in the environment. At the same time, other people cannot hear them.

This phenomenon was named after Hermann von Willis, who first described it in his work “Über das Gehör” (On Hearing). Paracusis Willisii is currently the subject of study in the fields of auditory physiology and neuroscience.

In addition, paracusis Willisii has practical applications. For example, it may be useful for people with hearing loss who want to improve their ability to hear sounds. This phenomenon can also be used in medicine to diagnose diseases of the hearing aid and nervous system.

Paracusis Willisi is a phenomenon that occurs due to impaired auditory perception or dysfunction of receptors in the ear. This is a hearing disorder in which a person cannot perceive certain frequencies of sound. The tip of the ear bone (malleus) is connected to the inner ear, where the auditory nerve is located, which transmits information to the brain.

Paracusis Wilisi can be caused by various reasons, including:

Damage or infection of the inner ear. Hypoacusis, that is, insufficient sensitivity to sound. Medicines such as antibiotics and anticonvulsants. Inflammation of the occipital nerve. Atheroscle
