AnteriorPosterior (AP) chest and pelvis radiographs taken in the trauma bay usually with
a(n) _____________. - answer Portable X-ray Machine

difficulty hearing in a noisy background
vertigo

Acoustic trauma may result in sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) that is either
________ or ________. - answer temporary (temporary threshold shift, TTS) or
permanent (permanent threshold shift, PTS)

,The ear, specifically the ________, is the most sensitive organ to primary blast injury. -
answer tympanic membrane (TM)

T/F: The smaller the size of the tympanic membrane perforation, the greater the

always be provided regardless of contraindications. - answer FALSE

Which inner ear abnormalities may cause vertigo? **** - answer otic capsule
violating temporal bone fractures
secondary infections of the inner ear or vestibular nerves
trauma induced endolymphatic hydrops
activation of subclinical superior semicircular canal dehiscence.
benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV)
damage to sensitive neuroepithelial rests within the inner ear
perilymphatic fistula

All Service Members that develop symptoms consistent with noise trauma (acute
tinnitus, muffled hearing, fullness in the ear) should: - answer be educated and
directed to self-report for evaluation and possible treatment as soon as practicable.
