Final Exam Flashcards
The typical probe tone for tympanometry is:
A.) 300 Hz
B.) 275 Hz
C.) 226 Hz
D.) 400 Hz
E.) 700 Hz
C - 226 Hz
When conducting tympanometry on infants, it is best to use either ____ Hz or _____.
800 / 1000
This is the measurment of tympanic membrane and middle ear mobility
Static immittance
Normative data for adults:
Mean: ____ mmho
___% range = ___ to ____ mmho
0.8 / 90/ 0.3/ 1.4
Normative data for children:
Mean: ____ mmho
____% range: ____ to ____ mmho
0.5 / 90 / 0.2 / 0.9
True or False: Ear canal volume normative data for adults is: mean - 1.5 mL
True
Mean: 1.5mL
90% range: 0.6 to 1.5 mL
Ear Canal Volume Normative Data for children:
Mean: ____ mL
90% range: _____ to _____ mL
0.7 / 0.4 / 1.0
As suggested by ASHA you take the tympanometric shape by using the ____ of the tympanogram at the ___% amplitude point.
width / 50
Normative for tympanometric width for adults:
Mean: ___ daPa
90% range: ____ to ____ daPa
80 / 50 / 110
Normative data for tympanometric width for children:
Mean: ____ daPa
90% range: ____ to _____ daPa
100 / 60 / 150
Normal
Type As : normal middle ear pressure with decreased static compliance (hypomobile tympanic membrane)
Type Ad : normal middle ear pressure with increased static compliance, hypermobile tympanic membrane
Type B: flat tympanogram, signs of middle ear effusion or perforation
Type C: excessive negative pressure; eustachian tube dysfuntion or middle ear pathology
a : Vec normal –> M.E. effusion
b: Vec small –> improper placement of cerumen
c: Vec large –> perforation of PE tube
These three things affect tympanometry measurement:
tympanic membrane size, thickness, and angle
mastoid pneumatization
ear canal wall stiffness
True or False: as the tympanic membrane becomes thinner, it becomes less stiff and more compliant
True
True or False: Instead of using 226 Hz tone for infants, it is recommended to use 800 or 1000 Hz to see true tympanometry
True
What is the source of the otoacoustic emissions?
Outer Hair Cells
OHC motility generates movements of the __ and fluid in the cochlea
Basilar Membrane
There are two types of emissions (OAEs):
spontaneous
evoked
True or False: Evoked Otoacoustic emissions are a threshold measure.
False
True or False: Transient Evoked Otoacoustic Emissions are presented with two tones and a distortion production
False - Distortion Product OAEs present two tones and the distortion product is only used for measure
True or False:
DPOAE is broadspectrum
False - TEOAE are broadspectrum
DPOAE are frequency specific
