Parallell Vent
What vent changes low frequency and in non-occluding earmold amplifies high
frequency
Facial; nerve problem, bilateral conductive loss, severe and profound sensorineural
loss
causes of an absent acoustic reflex
Perforation in the tympanic membrane
What is a 5.00 cc measure of the static compliance indicates
Behavioral observation
Hearing test for children using lights or pictures
1,000-10,000
What Hz Range is speech recognition in
Seal the ear to prevent acoustic feedback, hold tube to the ear firmly, cosmetically
appealing
Earmold functions
Unilateral Loss
Best candidate for non-occluding earmold
,below 1,000 Hz
what frequencies does the venting technique effect
1,000-3,000
what frequencies does acoustic modification effect
A) Air threshold will equal bone thresholds
If the Outer and middle ear parts are normal :
A) Air threshold will equal bone thresholds
B) Air thresholds will be better than bone thresholds
C) Air Thresholds will be worse than Bone Thresholds
D) You cannot measure bone thresholds
Answer B It is easiest for the client to hear
A descending test technique is commonly used in hearing testing because
A) It is the easiest to explain to the client
B) It is the easiest for the client to hear
C) It can help prevent "hearing fatigue"
D) all of the above
C) sound is reduced before the arrival at the inner ear
In a purely conductive loss:
,A) the inner ear nerve cells are damaged
B) either the outer or middle ear functions normally
C) sound is reduced before the arrival
D) the nerve cells in the inner ear cannot respond readily to the vibrations via the bones
of the skull
undermasking
When the right A/C threshold is 10dB and the left A/C threshold is 80dB what will happen
once 3 5dB increased of masking have been resented to the right ear?
SRT
Spondees are used for determining?
A) Otosclerosis
A 31 year old female patient has a bilateral conductive hearing loss. She reports that her
mother had a stapedectomy when she was about her same age. What is the most likely
cause of the conductive component of out pt hearing loss?
A) Otosclerosis
B) Otis media
3) ototoxicity
D) Disarticulation
Graville's Conductive hearing loss
Hearing loss that results from damage to or dysfunction of the outer ear or middle ear
system. Can also be caused by blockage of the ear canal, cerumen, foreign object, or
, physical deformability
Eustachain tube dysfunction
This interrupts its natural opening/closing action and results in a lack of ventilation in
the middle ear cavity. Often associated with Effusion
Ottis Media
One of the most common middle ear disorders. Can result from a blocked ET. First
symptom is often an ear ache. Can be acute or chronic longstanding infection
Otosclerosis
An abnormal bony growth on the ossicles, particularly involving the footplate of the
stapes. Symptoms include progressive hearing loss and tinnitus, vertigo or dizziness
may also be reported. A low frequency loss occurs in the early stages of the diseases
with all frequencies become affected. Common audiometric feature is hearing loss at
2kHz
Middle Ear Trauma
Caused by high pressure such as from an explosion, thermal burns, penetrating injuries
or barotrauma
Cholesteatoma
Small to begin with, but continues to grow and wrap around itself. Provides a rich
environment for fungus to grow which leads to a chronic infection and drainage along
with a distinctive odor.
Tympanosclerosis
