Hard hearing
  1. Anatomy
    1. Tympanic membrane
        1. Middle ear
        2. Hearing pathway
          1. Hair cells of the organ of Corti
            1. Bipolar cells of the spiral (cochlear) ganglion
              1. Cochlear nerve (CN VIII)
                1. Cochlear nuclei
                  1. Trapezoid body
                    1. Superior olivary nucleus
                      1. Lateral lemniscus
                        1. Nucleus of the inferior colliculus
                          1. Medial geniculate body
                            1. Auditory radiation
                              1. Transverse temporal gyri of Heschl
          2. Physiology of hearing
            1. Sound collected through external ear
              1. Sound travels through ear canal
                1. Vibrates eardrum
                  1. Vibrates ossicles
                    1. Sound ripples hair cells
                      1. Auditory nerve conducts impulse to brain
              2. Impedance matching
                1. Sound waves converted into pressure waves in fluid
                  1. acoustic impedance of fluid is much greater than that of air
                    1. combination of the tympanic membrane and ossicles act as an impedance matching device in order to transfer the same frequency as the original sound waves
                      1. Done via 2 mechanisms
                        1. Increased force of movement of stapes

                  1. Foreign body impaction
                    1. Mastoiditis
                  2. Ear examination
                    1. Otoscope
                      1. Tuning fork

                            1. Vertigo
                              1. Tinnitus
                                1. Spinning sensation even though the body is stationary with respect to the surrounding.
                                2. Wax buildup

                                    1. Complications
                                      1. Cholesteatoma
                                        1. destructive and expanding growth consisting of keratinizing squamous epithelium in the middle ear and/or mastoid process
                                          1. Aural polyp
