Physiology of communication

Consider the parts in and around the outer and middle ear (e.g., an ear canal, tympanic membrane, malleus, incus, stapes, and oval window). These are elements of the conductive portion of hearing function.

Analyze physiology of communication (ILO3, PLO3)

Apply knowledge of anatomy and physiology of communication to diagnose and treat patients with communication disorders (ILO3, PLO3)

Directions
Identify pathologies and conditions that arise which would result in conductive hearing loss (e.g., how would blast injury in a military veteran affect conductive hearing loss?).
Explain the effect of arthritis on the ossicular chain.
Explain the effect of infections within the middle ear chambers.
