One Cause of Tinnitus is Cochlea Damage
COCHLEA DAMAGE INDUCED TINNITUS resuls mostly from exposure to noise.
And here is what actually happens when cochlea
damage occurs as a result of exposure to noise.
There are some fifteen thousand microscopic sensory hair
cells in the Organ of Corti which are very fragile and are
easily damaged.
There are also three tiny bones, in the Organ of Corti, that
vibrate and act as amplifiers. Don't tell Bose, but these are, in fact, probably the best amplifiers ever invented.
 If you look at the illustration shown here
you will get a better idea of what I am talking about.
When the movement of the tiny bones
in the middle ear vibrate the oval window of the cochlea, waves are
created in the fluid surrounding the cochlea.
These waves bend the basilar membrane in specific patterns that corresponding to
specific frequencies.
This causes the hair cells, in those places, to brush against
the overlying tectorial membrane (shown in blue) generating
an electrical impulse which gets sent to the brain. The brain interprets those electrical impulses as
sound. And we can hear speech and music, etc. The nerve endings are shown in yellow in the illustration. |
When the tiny hairs and nerve
endings become damaged as a result of exposure to noise, high frequency
hearing loss and tinnitus often results.
If you have tinnitus due to noise damage or other causes, there is help for you.
