Apply Defects of hearing evidence
Explain the physics evidence first: identify the medical context, state the relevant quantity or process, then link it directly to Discuss limitations of hearing correction..
AQA A-level medical physics answers score better when they connect the clinical situation to a named physical principle, rather than giving a generic medical description.
Understanding Hearing Defects
Link specific hearing defects to the corresponding physical structures in the ear, such as the eardrum and ossicles.
This helps in accurately identifying the cause of hearing loss and understanding how different parts of the ear contribute to sound detection.
