CONGENITAL Disorders


A disorder that is present at birth.
 Can be hereditary (such as a genetic
 syndrome like Treacher Collin’s
 Syndrome). Or, can be from another
 source - like when fetus is affected by
 maternal Rubella.
Conductive Hearing
       Loss
Occurs when there
exists a complication
somewhere between
the outer ear and the
middle ear.
Sensorineural Hearing
        Loss
A loss affecting an
inner ear structure or
the auditory nerve.
Typically a permanent
loss.
How Sound Travels Thru the Ear
• Sound enters the auricle. The alternating
  pattern of high/low pressure is entered in
  here: pressure wave.
• Then into the ear canal. This is 2 cm
  long.
• Then the ear drum. At this point
  pressure wave is transformed to
  mechanical wave (this is converted to
  vibrations).
Then into the middle ear…
• Then to the 3 tiny bones (also called the
  ossicles). The names of the bones are:
  malleus (hammer), incus (anvil), and stapes
  (stirrups).
• As it reaches the stapes, mechanical wave
  transforms to compression wave within the
  fluid. The stapes gives off 15 times more
  vibrations than that of the ear drum.
Eustachian Tube
• Is air filled cavity – it allows for
  equalization of pressure.
And the Inner Ear…
• Once it enters the oval window,
  sound enters two areas: cochlea
  and semicircular canals.
• Thru the cochlea which is lined with
  20,000 hair-like nerve cells (it is the
  most critical role in the ability to
  hear). This is where more amplitude
  of vibration occurs. Compression
  wave transforms to electrical impulse.
And Finally…….
• Then it passes thru the auditory nerve to the
  brain – capable of interpreting qualities of
  sound upon reception of electric nerve
  impulses.
Meniere’s Disease
• Meniere's disease is a disorder of the
  inner ear which causes episodes of
  vertigo, ringing in the ears (tinnitus), a
  feeling of fullness or pressure in the ear,
  and fluctuating hearing loss. It is
  difficult to live with and can often cause
  victims to seek psychological help.
Symptoms of Meniere’s Disease
• Vertigo, balance problems,
• Loss of low pitches
Who has Meniere’s Disease?
•   Alan Shepard
•   Emily Dickinson
•   Van Vough
•   Martin Luthor
Meningitis
• Meningitis is a medical condition caused
  by inflammation of the protective
  membranes covering the brain and
  spinal cord, known collectively as the
  meninges.
• Diagnosed with use of a spinal tap.
• Symptoms: severe pain in the ear,
  irritability, and fever, headaches, and
  sometimes a purplish rash.
Otitis Media
• Otitis media is an infection or
  inflammation of the middle ear.
• This inflammation often begins when
  infections that cause sore throats, colds,
  or other respiratory or breathing
  problems spread to the middle ear.
• Otitis Media, continued….
• It is very isolating.
• Teens who have it are not aware that there
  is anyone else out there suffering from the
  same problems.
• Symptoms include severe pain in the ear,
  irritability, and fever.
• This affects children’s speech between 3
  months and 3 years.
A famous person
• Lou Ferrigno “The Incredible Hulk” had
  Otitis Media and lost his hearing to this
  disease.
Ototoxicity
• A poisoning of the ear.
• Ototoxicity is damage of the ear (oto),
  specifically the cochlea or auditory nerve
  and sometimes the vestibulum, by a toxin
  (often medication).
• Symptoms: Severe pain in the ear,
  irritability, and fever
Otosclerosis

• Otosclerosis is the abnormal growth of bone
  of the middle ear. This bone prevents
  structures within the ear from working
  properly and causes hearing loss.
• Symptoms: Severe tinnitus, recurring
  auditory memories, and frequent vertigo.
Did you know?
• William Peterson of CSI: Las Vegas has
  Otosclerosis and a deaf mother in real
  life!
Rubella
• Also known as German Measles or “3-day
  measles”
• an infection that primarily affects the skin
  and lymph nodes
• usually transmitted by droplets from the nose
  or throat that others breathe in
German Measles
• Symptoms include a red rash covering the
  upper body, fever, and headaches.
Treacher Collin’s Syndrome
• Treacher Collins syndrome is a genetic,
  craniofacial birth defect that is
  characterized by a range of distinctive facial
  anomalies.
• The main characteristics of TCS are
  downward slanting eyes, small lower jaw,
  and malformed or missing ears.
• These anomalies can cause hearing,
  breathing, and eating problems.
Symptoms and Treatments
• Characterized by auricles that are small
  or low on the head, eyes that are sunken
  and droopy, and a cleft palete.
• It can be treated with hearing tests
  and/or plastic surgery.
Usher’s Syndrome
• Usher syndrome is the most common
  condition that affects both hearing and
  vision starting with peripheral vision.
• Usher syndrome is inherited, which means
  that it is passed from parents to their
  children through genes.
Usher’s Syndrome
• It can affect an unborn infant and cause them to be
  deaf and/or blind if their mother comes in contact
  with someone who has it.
• It is not a common disease because both parents
  must have the gene.
• It occurs 4 in 100,000 births. Usher syndrome is
  inherited, which means that it is passed from
  parents to their children through genes.

And the Inner Ear… • Once it enters the oval window, sound enters two areas: cochlea and semicircular canals. • Thru the cochlea which is lined with 20,000 hair-like nerve cells (it is the most critical role in the ability to hear). This is where more amplitude of vibration occurs. Compression wave transforms to electrical impulse.
  • 13. And Finally……. • Then it passes thru the auditory nerve to the brain – capable of interpreting qualities of sound upon reception of electric nerve impulses.
  • 14. Meniere’s Disease • Meniere's disease is a disorder of the inner ear which causes episodes of vertigo, ringing in the ears (tinnitus), a feeling of fullness or pressure in the ear, and fluctuating hearing loss. It is difficult to live with and can often cause victims to seek psychological help.
  • 15. Symptoms of Meniere’s Disease • Vertigo, balance problems, • Loss of low pitches

  • 17. Meningitis • Meningitis is a medical condition caused by inflammation of the protective membranes covering the brain and spinal cord, known collectively as the meninges. • Diagnosed with use of a spinal tap. • Symptoms: severe pain in the ear, irritability, and fever, headaches, and sometimes a purplish rash.
  • 18. Otitis Media • Otitis media is an infection or inflammation of the middle ear. • This inflammation often begins when infections that cause sore throats, colds, or other respiratory or breathing problems spread to the middle ear.
  • 19. • Otitis Media, continued…. • It is very isolating. • Teens who have it are not aware that there is anyone else out there suffering from the same problems. • Symptoms include severe pain in the ear, irritability, and fever. • This affects children’s speech between 3 months and 3 years.
  • 20. A famous person • Lou Ferrigno “The Incredible Hulk” had Otitis Media and lost his hearing to this disease.
  • 21. Ototoxicity • A poisoning of the ear. • Ototoxicity is damage of the ear (oto), specifically the cochlea or auditory nerve and sometimes the vestibulum, by a toxin (often medication). • Symptoms: Severe pain in the ear, irritability, and fever
  • 22. Otosclerosis • Otosclerosis is the abnormal growth of bone of the middle ear. This bone prevents structures within the ear from working properly and causes hearing loss. • Symptoms: Severe tinnitus, recurring auditory memories, and frequent vertigo.
  • 23. Did you know? • William Peterson of CSI: Las Vegas has Otosclerosis and a deaf mother in real life!
  • 24. Rubella • Also known as German Measles or “3-day measles” • an infection that primarily affects the skin and lymph nodes • usually transmitted by droplets from the nose or throat that others breathe in
  • 25. German Measles • Symptoms include a red rash covering the upper body, fever, and headaches.
  • 26. Treacher Collin’s Syndrome • Treacher Collins syndrome is a genetic, craniofacial birth defect that is characterized by a range of distinctive facial anomalies. • The main characteristics of TCS are downward slanting eyes, small lower jaw, and malformed or missing ears. • These anomalies can cause hearing, breathing, and eating problems.
  • 27. Symptoms and Treatments • Characterized by auricles that are small or low on the head, eyes that are sunken and droopy, and a cleft palete. • It can be treated with hearing tests and/or plastic surgery.
  • 28. Usher’s Syndrome • Usher syndrome is the most common condition that affects both hearing and vision starting with peripheral vision. • Usher syndrome is inherited, which means that it is passed from parents to their children through genes.
  • 29.
