b- a mild gain hearing aid for use in the classroom
c-individual tutoring outside the classroom for three hours/day
d-referral to an otolaryngologist for a cochlear-implant evaluation

Question 5

, normal levels to bone-conducted signals. Of the following, the most appropriate course of
action for this child at this time would be to:
a- defer treatment until growth of the external and middle ear is complete at about age six
b- suggest that surgery be initiated on at least one ear to permit a normal air-conducted
pathway
c- recommend an implanted bone-anchored hearing aid
d- investigate the use of a bone-conduction hearing aid until audiological test results can be
confirmed and surgery initiated when the child is older
e- counsel the parents concerning sign language and initiate a treatment program based on
the use of all visual cues
CORRECT ANSWER
D

c- it suggests a nonspecific/nonlocalizing vestibular disorder
d- it suggests a left peripheral vestibular disorder of either the labyrinthine or the VIIIth
nerve
e- it suggests a central vestibular disorder
