Nerve deafness is also termed as sensorineural hearing loss is caused by impairment of the ear cochlea or the auditory nerve. The cochlea has nerve endings or the hair cells at the end have a reaction towards the sharp sounds and in middle to the low pitch sounds. The hair cells and the nerve which interfaces it to the cerebrum do not have any power to harm from a variety of causes. A benign tumor called as acoustic neuroma arises from acoustic vestibulocochlear nerve resulting in tinnitus which is ringing in the ears, decreased hearing and vertigo. At the transmission level this deficit is produced.

Conductive deafness is due to the impairment of the middle ear ossicle along with the membranes which transmit the sound waves to the cochlea. Otosclerosis leads the bony tissues of ear to get hardened causing stiffness or fixing of stapes leading to conductive deafness as the sound vibration entering the ears is not transmitted by ossicle.

slava [35]

When a cat drops from a tree to the ground, the cat is transforming chemical energy attained from the food into kinetic energy. The later energy is used by the living species when they are performing locomotion.  

When a cat feeds on a mouse, the mouse will undergo through the process of digestion resulting in the formation of chemical energy. Thus, the food consumed by the cat will get transformed into chemical energy that can be utilized by the cat to perform its usual activities.
