A, (from difficult, and to hear).

Deafness, called also cophosis. Dr. Cullen places this genus of disease in the class locales, and order dysesthesia, which he defines, hearing diminished or abolished. He points out two species:

2. Dysecoe'a atonica, in which there is no manifest fault in the organs for transmitting sound into the internal ear; but merely a defect of the nervous power. See Surditas.
