Causes of hearing loss Disease Drugs Trauma Age Noise Some illnesses affect the ear and can cause hearing loss. Drugs Some medicines can damage the ears if they are used for a long time. Trauma Things poked in the ear, sudden changes in air pressure and very loud noises can all damage the ear. Age Higher frequencies are harder to hear after the age of 20. People don’t usually notice until they are over 55. Noise Hearing loud noises (over 85dB) for a long time causes hearing loss. Mention that there are many different types of hearing loss some are genetic or caused by disease. Whilst some can be caused by noise in our environment. The one we have been talking about today is noise-induced hearing loss See background information sheet “Hearing Loss” for more information.

Inside an Ear See Group Leader Card Task 5 – What is Hearing Damage? This is an example of using an ear camera to look inside someone’s ear.

Ear Camera Entrance to the ear canal You can see hairs around the entrance. These hairs help to stop dirt entering the ear. Entrance to the ear canal

Ear Camera The ear canal The ear canal: Ask if anyone can guess what the yellowy stuff in the picture is. It’s earwax, it’s normal to see some wax in everyone’s ears. Ear wax: produced by glands in the outer ear canal. It is very useful and traps dust and other small particles to stop them reaching the eardrum. Normally wax dries up by itself and falls out of the ear along with any trapped dust or debris. You should never try to clear wax out of your ear using cotton buds or anything else. These actually push wax further into your ear and may cause a blockage. The ear canal

The Ear Drum (tympanic membrane) Normal Eardrum Burst (perforated) eardrum The normal eardrum A membrane (or layer of tissue) stretched across the ear canal. It separates the outer ear from the middle ear. You can see the mallus bone (part of the ossicles) behind the eardrum. It is the whitish structure that appears to hang down from the top to the middle of the eardrum with blood vessels visible over the top of it. Click slide to make perforated eardrum picture appear. A perforated eardrum can be caused by: Infection in the ear – pus builds up behind the eardrum causing it to become so tight it bursts. Trauma such as a fall on the side of your head or a stick that goes deep into your ear Rapid changes in pressure, like with scuba diving (you can feel your ears pop when the pressure changes when you go up in a lift too fast or when a plane lands or takes off). A slap to the side of the head or falling on water Lightning blasts Blast waves from guns, fireworks or other loud noises Sports injuries If the eardrum is perforated it may be very painful or you might feel as if your ear “isn’t right”. The eardrum helps to amplify sound so if it is damaged, It also might change your hearing or make it harder to hear. A doctor can use an otoscope (a magnifying lens with a light) to look inside the ear and see if the eardrum has an hole or a tear in it. You can see the difference in the pictures here. A burst eardrum usually heals itself in about 2 months. The Ear Drum (tympanic membrane)

Hair cells in the inner ear Normal hair cells Damaged hair cells The picture on the left shows a picture from an electron microscope. It is inside the organ of corti and shows the rows of tiny hairs that respond to sound vibrations. You can see 4 rows of cells all together. There are 3 outer rows close together and 1 inner row. On the right the two pictures show hairs that have been damaged by sound. They were damaged by 120 decibels for 12 minutes. The top picture shows the 3 outer rows. the top row of hairs have been but the next two rows are still ok. The bottom picture shows more of the same hairs. This shows how some of the hair cells are missing altogether (exposed to 120 decibels for 12 minutes). The cochlea is the part of the ear that transmits sounds to your brain. Your brain makes sense of the sounds coming from the world around you. The cochlea is lined with tiny sensitive hairs. These pick up the vibrations that are sound and transfer the sound to the nerves in the ear. The nerves send the sound to the brain. These tiny hairs can be damaged by: Loud sounds Some drugs Disease such as meningitis Aging Damage to these hair cells causes permanent hearing loss and can also make it difficult to balance because these hairs also help with balance. Rows of hair cells

Listen to the recordings and go to the right platform Which platform? Listen to the recordings and go to the right platform

Which platform? Announcements: Normal conditions When the ear cannot respond to higher frequencies. A whooshing sound to simulate tinnitus When people have trouble understanding speech when background noise is present. This is especially a problem for people with hearing loss in one ear.

Which platform? And the whole thing again, under normal conditions
