NR 511 Midterm - Fahey Exam Study
Guide & Practice Questions/ NR
511 exam answers
Terms in this set (54)
Sensorineural Hearing Loss Gradual and Progressive
Deterioration of the cochlea
High frequency loss with aging
(Presbyascusis) Genetics can influence
Ototoxic drugs, Noise exposure, head trauma,
autoimmune disorders, metabolic disorders or acoustic
neuroma.
Not correctable but can be stabilized if not sudden
, Conductive Hearing Loss Obstruction -
cerumen, FB Otitis
Media
Otitis Externa
Middle ear
effusion Mass
Most are reversible
Weber Test - Sensory Sound is heard better in the normal ear
Weber Test - Conductive Sound is heard better in affected ear
Rinne - Conductive Sound heard better outside of ear and is not
audible when tuning fork is move from mastoid
bone
BC is greater than AC, so the patient will report the
bone conduction sound longer than the AC sound.
Bone conduction is >air conduction
Sensorineural Prognosis and DX Audiometry (audiogram)
measures bone conduction
thresholds Performed by
Audiologist.
Management of hearing loss with hearing aid.
In severe cases, cochlear implant is suggested.
Rinne Test A normal test is when the sound heard
outside the ear is audible when the sound
from over the mastoid bone can no longer
be detected. In other words, air conduction
is louder than the bone
conduction.
Weber Test Results in the patient hearing the sound equally on both
sides.
