Ear-audiology And Tests Flashcards
When do you say it is CHL and when do you say it is SNHL
When the external ear and middle ear affected – CHL
When the inner ear and 8th nerve are affected – SNHL
Examples of CHL
Wax
Glue ear
CSOM
Otosclerosis
When do you see cochlear hearing loss and retro cochlear hearing loss and eg
Cochlear hearing loss is sensory hearing loss (affects cochlea) e.g. menials disease
Retro cochlear hearing loss is neural hearing loss(affects 8th nerve) e.g. acoustic neuroma
What does bone conduction test
Checks cochlea and 8th nerve because it reaches the cochlea directly
If BC is poor means a SNHL
What frequency is used in tuning fork test Most commonly
512 Hz
Why is 512 Hz used for tuning fork test
Produces sound for a long duration
It has less vibration
Check the table for Rinne’s Weber and ABC/shwbach
Please
Difference between ABC and Shwbach test
ABC-EAC closed
Shwbach test- EAC kept open
Why is the false negative Rinne in U/L SNHL
Due to transcranial transmission of sound to other side cochlea when BC is checked on the diseased side
Which colour line is used for which year in a audiogram
Red line – right ear
Blue line – left ear
Name the kind of symbols in AC and BC Used on an audiogram
AC – close symbols
BC – open symbols
AB gap is present in
CHL
Difference between otosclerosis and noise induced hearing
Otosclerosis-CHL
Dip at 2000 Hz
Carrhart’s notch
Noise induced hearing loss – SNHL
Dip at 4000 Hz
Acoustic dip
Name some test to differentiate between cochlear and retrocochlear hearing loss
Tone decay test
SISI
Recruitment test
Speech audiometry
Please check the description from the Notes
What is the full form of BERA
Brainstem evoked response audiometry
