?:definition
  • SMQ is intended to include ear disorders that may be drug related. Two sub-search SMQs created for two functions of ear: hearing and balance. Hearing may be impaired, disturbed, or accentuated. Hearing loss and abnormal hearing are not separated in this SMQ due to overlap of the these conditions in certain patients. Definition: hearing - ability to perceive sound; sensation of sound as apposed to vibration. Hearing impairment may result from: a lesion in external auditory canal or middle ear (conductive hearing loss); or a lesion in inner ear or VIIIth cranial nerve (sensorineural). Sensorineural hearing loss can be further differentiated as: sensory (cochlea); or neural (VIIIth cranial nerve)
