| psychogenic deafness | Hearing loss without evidence of organic cause or malingering; often follows severe psychic shock. Synonym: functional deafness, hysterical deafness. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| sensorineural deafness | Hearing impairment due to disorders of the cochlear division of the 9th cranial nerve (auditory nerve), the cochlea, or the retrocochlear nerve tracts, as opposed to conductive deafness. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hysterical deafness | Hearing loss without evidence of organic cause or malingering; often follows severe psychic shock. Synonym: functional deafness, hysterical deafness. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nerve deafness | Neural deafness, former terms for sensorineural deafness. (05 Mar 2000) |
| noise-induced deafness | A type of sensorineural deafness caused by prolonged exposure to loud sounds, e.g., jet engines. (05 Mar 2000) |
| deafness | A condition in which the sense of hearing in both ears is not functional for ordinary purposes of life. The hearing level for speech is approximately 71 decibels I.s.o. (international organization for standardization) or 61 db a.s.a. (american standards association) or greater. (12 Dec 1998) |
| deafness, sudden | Sensorineural hearing loss which develops over a period of hours or a few days, varying in severity from mild to total. (12 Dec 1998) |
| industrial deafness | Synonym: acoustic trauma deafness. (05 Mar 2000) |
| occupational deafness | Sensorineural hearing loss due to overexposure to high intensity noise levels. Synonym: boilermaker's deafness, industrial deafness, occupational deafness. (05 Mar 2000) |
| organic deafness | Deafness due to a pathologic process or an organic aetiology, as opposed to psychogenic deafness. (05 Mar 2000) |
| functional deafness | Hearing loss without evidence of organic cause or malingering; often follows severe psychic shock. Synonym: functional deafness, hysterical deafness. (05 Mar 2000) |
| low tone deafness | Inability to hear low notes or frequencies. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ganglia, sensory | Clusters of neurons in the somatic peripheral nervous system which contain the cell bodies of sensory nerve axons. Sensory ganglia may also have intrinsic interneurons and non-neuronal supporting cells. (12 Dec 1998) |
| receptors, sensory | Specialised neurons or parts of neurons which transduce sensory information and relay it centrally. Included are receptors for stimuli outside the body (exteroceptors) as well as receptors for stimuli from within the body itself (interoceptors and proprioceptors). Sensory receptors may include accessory structures which condition (e.g., filter) the input received by the receptor neurons themselves. (12 Dec 1998) |
| principal sensory nucleus of the trigeminus | <anatomy, nerve> The term commonly used to designate the nucleus pontis nervi trigeminalis; located in pons lateral to the motor trigeminal nucleus; receives primary sensory (touch and pressure) input via the trigeminal nerve, projects to ventral posteromedial nucleus of thalamus. Synonym: nucleus sensorius principalis nervi trigemini, nucleus sensorius superior nervi trigemini, principal sensory nucleus of the trigeminus. (05 Mar 2000) |
