VIII Vestibucochlear - CORRECT ANSWER-Balance and equilibrium are
functions of the ________ nerve.
tympanic membrane - CORRECT ANSWER-The external ear is separated
from the middle ear by a disk-shaped structure called the
________________________.
auricle (pinna) - CORRECT ANSWER-The _______ collects the sound waves
and directs vibrations in to the external auditory canal.
cerumen (ear wax) - CORRECT ANSWER-A brown, waxlike substance
secreted by ceruminous glands is called?
1 mm - CORRECT ANSWER-How wide is the eustacian tube?
35 mm - CORRECT ANSWER-How long is the eustacian tube?
It helps to conduct sound vibration. - CORRECT ANSWER-What is the
function of the tympanic membrane?
pearly grey - CORRECT ANSWER-What color is NORMAL for the tympanic
membrane?
pars tensa - CORRECT ANSWER-Approximately 80% of the tympanic
membrane is composed of all three layers and is called the ___________.
,pars flaccida - CORRECT ANSWER-The remaining 20% of the tympanic
membrane that lacks the middle layer is called ?
annulus - CORRECT ANSWER-The fibrous border that attaches the eardrum
to the temporal bone ?
perilymph - CORRECT ANSWER-The bony labyrinth surrounds and protects
the membranous labyrinth, which is bathed in a fluid called ___________.
hearing
balance and equilirium - CORRECT ANSWER-What are the two functions of
the ears?
eustacian tube - CORRECT ANSWER-Helps to equalize pressure in the ear ?
seborrheic dermatitis - CORRECT ANSWER-A flaky scaliness on or behind
the auricle usually indicates _____________________ and can be present on the
scalp and facial structures as well
5 mm - CORRECT ANSWER-The largest speculum that the ear canal can
accommodate ____mm.
gently irrigate the canal with warm water - CORRECT ANSWER-If the
tympanic membrane cannot be visualized because of cerumen, the cerumen
may be removed how?
Weber and Rinne tests - CORRECT ANSWER-Name two tests used to assess
a patient's hearing ability.
Weber test - CORRECT ANSWER-This test for hearing uses bone conduction
to test lateralization of sound. What is it called?
,Rinne test - CORRECT ANSWER-This hearing test is done by shifting the
stem of a vibrating tuning fork between two positions: 2 inches from the
opening of the ear canal and against the mastoid bone. As the position
changes, the patient is asked to indicate which tone is louder or when the
tone is no longer available. What is it called?
The Weber Test - CORRECT ANSWER-Results of this test are used to
determine whether the patient has conductive hearing loss or sensorineural
hearing loss. Which test?
air conduction - CORRECT ANSWER-Which type of conduction should be
longer for sensiorneural hearing loss? Air or Bone?
TRUE - CORRECT ANSWER-Conductive hearing loss such as from
otosclerosis or otitis media, when performing the Weber test the sound
lateralizes toward the affected ear T/F?
Bone - CORRECT ANSWER-Weber test just does ____ conduction.
Audiometry confirms a client's chronic progressive hearing loss. Further
investigation reveals ankylosis of the stapes in the oval window, a condition
that prevents sound transmission. This type of hearing loss is called a: -
CORRECT ANSWER-conductive hearing loss
frequency, pitch, and intensity - CORRECT ANSWER-Name three
characteristics that are important when evaluating hearing.
frequency - CORRECT ANSWER-The number of sound waves emanating
from a source per second, measured as cycles per second, or Hertz.
20-20,000 Hz - CORRECT ANSWER-What is the range of human hearing?
intensity - CORRECT ANSWER-Loudness of sound is known as _________.
, decibel (dB) - CORRECT ANSWER-The unit for measuring loudness, the
pressure exerted by sound. Hearing loss is measured using this unit.
0-15 dB - CORRECT ANSWER-The normal hearing in decibels ?
>15-25 dB - CORRECT ANSWER-Slight hearing loss in decibels ?
>25-40 dB - CORRECT ANSWER-Mild hearing loss in decibels ?
>40-55 dB - CORRECT ANSWER-Moderate hearing loss in decibels ?
>55-70 dB - CORRECT ANSWER-moderately severe hearing loss in decibels
?
>70-90 dB - CORRECT ANSWER-Severe hearing loss in decibels ?
>90 - CORRECT ANSWER-Profound hearing loss in decibels ?
tympanogram - CORRECT ANSWER-measures middle ear muscle reflex to
sound stimulation and compliance of the tympanic membrane by changing
the air pressure in a sealed ear canal ?
-family history of sensorineural impairment
-congential malformations of the cranial structure (ear)
-low birth weight (<1500g)
-use of ototoxic medications (e.g., gentamycin, loop diuretics)
-recurrent ear infections
-bacterial meningitis
