- Explain the process from Cochlea to the Auditory Cortex ?arrow_forwardRegarding auditory physiology, what is the mechanism that generates an action potential and release of neurotransmitter substance? a) pressure waves on cells in the vestibular membrane b) movement of the membrane covering the round window c) movement of the hair cells of the coil member towards the tectorial membrane d) movement of cells in the basement membrane towards the cochleaarrow_forwardWhy Are Hearing and Other Sensory orCommunication Processes Important?arrow_forward
- a) Consider a patient who has been exposed to an ototoxic drug that has caused the death of the outer hair cells in the cochlea but has left the inner hair cells unaffected. What sort of hearing loss is the person likely to experience and what sort of hearing device could assist them? Explain the reasons for your answer based upon how the inner ear functions. b) Consider a person who has a partial loss of myelin in their auditory nerve. What effect would the loss of myelin have upon the ability of this person to perceive speech and would either a hearing aid or cochlear implant provide any benefit to their hearing ability? Explain the reasons for your answer based upon how the inner ear and auditory pathway function.
