MI 1.3.2 Can You Hear Me Now?

Which region of the ear is affected by sensorineural hearing loss?

• outer ear

• middle ear

• inner ear

Which hearing test uses a tuning fork and can only tell us IF a person has hearing loss, not how much is lost?

• pure tone test

• rinne test

• speech-in-noise test

• tinnitus test

How would you describe the hearing loss demonstrated in this audiogram?

• Moderate hearing loss in right ear at high frequencies

• Moderate hearing loss in right ear at low frequencies

• Moderate hearing loss in left ear at high frequencies

• Moderate hearing loss in left ear at low frequencies

Which intervention would be most appropriate for someone w/ moderate hearing loss in both ears?

• cochlear implant

• hearing aid

• tubes

• labrinthyectomy

Which audiogram matches mild-to-moderate conductive hearing loss in both ears from otitis media?

• A

• B

How would you describe this patient's hearing loss based on the audiogram?

• severe hearing loss in the lower frequencies

• mild hearing loss in the higher frequencies

• mild hearing loss in low frequencies

• severe loss in high frequencies in the right ear

Identify the order in which sound travels through the ear

• cochlea, ear drum, ossicles, ear canal

• ear canal, ossicles, ear drum, cochlea

• ear canal, ear drum, ossicles, cochlea

• ear drum, ear canal, ossicles, cochlea

The image shows bone conduction(]) and air conduction (X) for the left ear of a patient. The best analysis would be?

• Patient has mild to moderate sensorineural hearing loss.

• Patient has no hearing loss evident.

• Patient has mild to moderate conductive hearing loss.

• Hearing loss can not be determined in only one ear.

This test is a useful tool for evaluating a person's ability to understand speech when there is significant background noise.

• speech-in-noise test

• Rinne test

• audiogram

• Can you hear me now test

Wilbur McCruz went to the ear doc for a hearing test. The doc conducted a Rinne test and found that Wilbur heard air conduction twice as long as he heard bone conduction. The doc should conclude?

• That Wilbur has no hearing loss.

• That Wilbur has conductive hearing loss.

• That Wilbur has sensorineural hearing loss.

• That Wilbur is a liar as these results are impossible.
