Q

tympanometry

A

Q

acoustic reflex

A

-contractions of the ME in response to intense sounds which has the effect of stiffening the ME system and decreasing its static acoustic compliance

Q

procedure for SAC

A
  • first clear ear canal of all debris
  • ear tip pressed with tight seal and positive pressure increased with air pump
  • once seal is obtained pressure increased to +200 daPa
  • next decrease pressure in external ear canal until TM reaches maximum compliance = when pressure on both sides of membrane are approximately equal and eardrum is most mobile

- measures neuroelectric events that occur once and after sound hits cochlea

145
Q

signal averaging

A

because AEPs are embedded in EEGs

146
Q

signal vs noise

A

signal - stimulus response

noise - unwanted electrical activity

147

  • wave V is abnormally prolonged or disappers
148
Q

as intensity increases latency decreases

149
Q

clinical applications of ABR

A
  • newborn auditory screenings
  • estimation of auditory sensitivity in young or difficult to test patients
  • diagnosis of AN or brainstem dysfunction
  • intraoperative monitering
  • ICU
150
Q

clinical limitations of ABR
