Case Summary
- The natural mechanism of hearing involves three parts: the outer, middle, and inner ear. The inner ear contains the cochlea, the target for cochlear implants, which replace non-functioning cochleas. Hearing loss can be conductive (outer or middle ear), sensorineural (inner ear), or mixed (outer, middle, and inner ear). A normal audiogram range is within 20 decibels; 20-40 is mild loss, 40-60 moderate, and above 80 severe. Cochlear implants are indicated for severe to profound hearing loss.
