Q

Weber test

A

Use to differentiate between conductive and severe snhl.
Tuning fork is placed on forehead, vertex or upper teeth .
It asses lateralization of sound.

In SNHL : LATERALIZATION TO OPPOSITE SIDE OF DEFECT
IN CHL : LATERALIZATION TO SAME SIDE

Bc - Dip at 2k frequency

Occurs in OTOSCLEROSIS

17

18
Q

Impedence audiometry

A

Assessment of middle ear

Asses :

  1. Tympanometry
  2. Stapedial reflex

Probe with 3 openings …

  3. SOM
  4. ET obstruction
20
Q

What is recruitment ?

A

It is abnormal increase in loudness of loud sound.

As loudness increases patient hears better.

Test: short increment sensitivity index
- if 72-100 percent of one db increments is identified correctly — abnormal ear

Differentiate sensory versus neuronal hearing loss.

If recruitment + — sensory HL - cochlear deafness

21

A

Ototoxicity

Noise trauma
