Across
  1. 2. Implant- a device that converts sound into electrical signals to stimulate the auditory nerve
  2. 5. Transmits vibrations from the hammer to the stapes
  3. 8. Hearing Loss- Caused by damage to cochlear receptor cells or auditory neurons.
  4. 9. Transmits sound vibrations from the eardrum to the anvil
  5. 10. hearing loss- Caused by damage to the mechanical system that conducts sound waves to cochlea
  6. 14. how often a wave occurs
  7. 15. Nerve- Sends neural messages to the auditory Cortex
Down
  1. 1. - "Piston" in the inner ear
  2. 3. Canal- The Outer ear channels sound through this
  3. 4. Converting sound waves into electrical signals that are processed by the brain
  4. 6. Conducts sound vibrations to the inner ear
  5. 7. Principle- Groups of neurons of the auditory system respond by firing action potentials, slightly off of each other, so a greater frequency can be encoded when put together
  6. 11. Membrane that vibrates sound
  7. 12. theory- The Brain reads pitch by monitoring the frequency of neural impulses traveling up the auditory area
  8. 13. Repetition of sound waves that make it quiet or loud
