Abstract:
Non-organic hearing loss (NOHL) is a condition in which there is audiometric discrepancy between the real hearing threshold and the measured threshold of the patient, in the absence of any organic disease. It can, rarely, be the manifestation of a somatoform disorder when it is known as conversion deafness. We present a case of conversion deafness diagnosed following a five-year period of apparent fluctuating unilateral hearing loss, and discuss the diagnosis, clinical and occupational considerations of managing this condition in a military environment.

When we hear a sound, our nervous system is detecting sound waves—pressure waves of mechanical energy traveling through a medium. The frequency of the wave is perceived as pitch, while the amplitude is perceived as loudness.

In humans, the photoreceptor cells of the eye and sensory hair cells of the ear lack stem cells. These cells are thus unrenewable and cannot be replaced when they are damaged or destroyed.
Photoreceptors
The retina is composed of several layers and contains specialized cells called photoreceptors. The photoreceptors (rods and cones) change their membrane potential when stimulated by light energy. There are two types of photoreceptors—rods and cones—which differ in the shape of...
