Aud & Vestib Disorders Flashcards

1
Q

What is an ABR? What does it assess? What is one clinical app of it?

A

It is used to assess the neural auditory pathway. The ABR tests and assesses the electrical potentials generated by the auditory neural pathway and it is an electrophysiologic test called an auditory evoked potential. We clinically use waves 1, 3, and 5 and as intensity decreases latency increases.

To diagnose ANSD
To confirm results of behavioral tests & establish site of lesion

Q

How do we know OAEs are a measure of OHC fxn? What are different stimuli used for TEOAE and DPOAE?

A

Absence or damage of OHCs is associated with absence of OAEs further supporting the hypothesis that OAEs are generated by OHCs
TEOAE: brief acoustic stimulus (click or tone burst)
DPOAE: Simultaneously presented pure-tones of two appropriate frequencies (fi & f2) presented at two intensity levels (L1 & L2)
2f1-f2 elicits the best DPOAEs in humans

Q

Cholesteatomas are pseudotumors. Justify this. What are tymps findings of one that caused ossicular chain disarticulation? What is preferred treatment.

A

they are this because they are not considered tumors but they have same mannerisms like bone erosion, growth, and vasculature. They will take over and invade all structures that they contact, similarly to a tumor. In the R ear, tymps would show a type Ad with high static admittance. Surgery is the preferred treatment and antibiotics can be given beforehand to reduce inflammation and bleeding for surgery.

What is inner ear homeostasis? What as an example of a condition/agent that can disrupt it

it is the balance of the ions and fluids in the inner ear and the maintenance of keeping it. An example is endolymphatic hydrops which is when there is an excess amount of endolymph as seen in Meniere’s disease.

Q

What is TTS and PTS

A

both occur as a result of loud noise exposure. TTS happens when exposed to noise exposure and it can recover from 15 mins-14 hours and the threshold shift can return to baseline. PTS however doesn’t return to baseline due to irreversible damage to the cochlea. It usually doesn’t recover after 14 hours of noise exposure. HHL (need to look up to add)

For NIHL, what is wrong
is caused by both dose and duration of disease
