Place Theory Different parts of the basilar membrane are stimulated for different frequencies
Frequency Theory Cells fire in proportion to the frequency of a sound
What are the three causes of deafness? 1) Conduction 2) Nerve 3) Stimulation
Deafness by Conduction Caused by damage to the eardrum or bones
