Loss of the ability to sense deep pressure or vibration, or a medical condition involving numbness in deep tissues or sensory pathways.
Greek bathos 'depth' + anesthesia 'lack of sensation'. This is a medical/neurological term describing specific types of sensory loss.
Doctors test for bathyanesthesia by checking if you can feel deep vibrations from a tuning fork—damage to certain nerve pathways can make you lose this deep sensation while still feeling light touch!
