| hearing loss, functional | Hearing loss without a physical basis. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| hearing loss, high-frequency | Hearing loss in frequencies above 1000 hertz. (12 Dec 1998) |
| hearing loss, noise-induced | Hearing loss from exposure to noise. The loss is often in the frequency range 4000-6000 hertz. (12 Dec 1998) |
| hearing loss, partial | A condition in which the sense of hearing, although defective, is functional with or without a hearing aid. The hearing level for speech is approximately 40-70 decibels I.s.o. (international organization for standardization) or 30-60 db a.s.a. (american standards association). (12 Dec 1998) |
| hearing loss, sensorineural | Hearing loss resulting from damage to the sensory mechanism internal from the oval and round windows. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Helmholtz theory of hearing | That the basilar membrane of the cochlea acts as a resonating structure, recording low tones from its apical turns and high tones from its basal turns. Synonym: Helmholtz theory of hearing. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sensorineural hearing loss | <neurology> A form of deafness that occurs due to dysfunction of the auditory nerve (cranial nerve VIII). (27 Sep 1997) |
| normal hearing | The ability to perceive sound normally. Synonym: normal hearing. Origin: G. Akousis, hearing (05 Mar 2000) |
| organ of hearing | The content of the cochlea including the portion of the membranous labyrinth containing the spiral organ (cochlear duct) and the perilymphatic channels (scalae) which lie on either side. Synonym: labyrinthus cochlearis, organ of hearing. (05 Mar 2000) |
| alaryngeal speech | A form of speech achieved after laryngectomy by using either an external vibratory source or the pharyngoesophageal segment as an internal vibratory source. Tracheoesophageal speech may be produced after laryngectomy by surgically diverting exhaled air to the pharynx by a permanently constructed tracheoesophageal fistula. (05 Mar 2000) |
| audiometry, speech | Measurement of the ability to hear speech under various conditions of intensity and noise interference using sound-field as well as earphones and bone oscillators. (12 Dec 1998) |
| rehabilitation of speech and language disorders | Procedures for assisting a person with a speech or language disorder to communicate with maximum efficiency. (12 Dec 1998) |

| mirror speech | A reversal of the order of syllables in a word, analogous to mirror writing. (05 Mar 2000) |
