Patient's Responses to History Questions
Mrs. U. listens attentively to your questions about her complaint and seems to understand you well in the clinic's quiet
examining room. She provides the following answers in response to your questions:
Onset—"He [her husband] has been pestering me about it for about 2 months. I'd never had any trouble before then, and I didn't want to believe him
at first."
Character—"Everything sounds funny. I can hear noises, but speech isn't clear. It's worse on my right side."
Context—"I have the most trouble when we're in the dining hall in the evening, but I think everyone has a little trouble hearing in situations like that,
don't you?"
Shouting—"No, sometimes my husband—and, lately, my best friend—repeat themselves, but no one has been shouting at me."
Hollowness—"Yes, funny that you should mention it. Things do sound rather hollow—a little like international phone calls used to sound."
Air travel—"No, I haven't been on a plane since last year, when we went to see our grandchildren."
