Hearing loss that occurs when sound enters the ear normally, but because of damage to the inner ear or the hearing nerve, sound isn’t organized in a way that the brain can understand. Hearing loss that includes both a conductive and a sensorineural hearing loss. Hearing loss that occurs when there is a problem in the way the inner ear or hearing nerve works. This type of hearing loss can often be treated with medicine or surgery. Hearing loss caused by something that stops sounds from getting through the outer or middle ear. The auditory pathway processes sound information as it travels from the ear to the brain so that our brain pathways are part of our hearing. This nerve sends sound information from the ear to the brain. the semicircular canals that help with balance.the snail shaped organ for hearing known as the cochlea.three small bones called ossicles that send the movement of the eardrum to the inner ear.the eardrum, sometimes called the tympanic membrane, which separates the outer and middle ear.the part we see on the sides of our heads, known as pinna.Kai is the ManCAD Teaching Lead as well as the programme director for the Scientist Training Programme in Neurosensory Science and an academic lead for Higher Specialist Scientific Training in Audiological Science at the University of Manchester.A hearing loss can happen when any part of the ear or auditory (hearing) system is not working in the usual way. Kai's research interest is primarily in Auditory Neuropathy Spectrum Disorder primarily in infants, but also in adult patient populations. After completing her thesis, Kai was invited to work with Prof John Bamford on the evaluation of the NHS Newborn Hearing Screening Programme (NHSP) in England.
