Sensory Disorders

Visual Disorders:
 



Prospagnosia: face blindness; the inability to recognize faces/people

Color-Deficiency: lack proper functioning of red-sensitive or green-sensitive cones in the retina


Hearing Disorders:

Conduction Hearing Loss: caused by damage to the mechanical system that conducts sound waves to the cochlea

Sensorineural Hearing Loss: "nerve deafness"; damage to the hair cell receptors or associated nerves
          -people use cochlea implants, which translate sound into neural signals,            in order to restore hearing from this particular type of hearing loss
