olfaction
umami
Brief Explanations
- The middle - ear bones are responsible for conducting sound vibrations. Absence of one of them leads to conduction hearing loss as sound cannot be properly conducted to the inner ear. Sensorineural hearing loss is related to damage in the inner ear or auditory nerve, total hearing loss is complete loss of hearing, and no hearing loss is incorrect given the condition.
- Umami is the taste that means "delicious" or "savory" and is related to sensitivity to glutamate. Gustation is the general sense of taste, oleogustus is not a recognized term in this context, and olfaction is the sense of smell.
