59
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.

A

*question is not how severe HL is but how severe dys-synchrony is

-CI can be either success or not→ neural integrity compromised will not be

Q

what is seen in HHL/cochlear synaptopathy

A

-Loss of connection bw auditory n fibers & hair cells

-Adversely affects fine speech structure decoding & speech perception especially seen in noise

-Not seen on an audiogram

Classic complaint→ “I can hear but I cannot understand what people say”

113
Q

what is seen in presbycusis

A

Formula→genetics / (age + noise + ototoxic drugs)

-Slow, progressive HF sloping SNHL

-speech perception especially w/ noise & reverberation

-Recruitment

Q

what is seen in ABR w/ CHL

A

absolute latencies are pushed out but relative interwave latencies were retained within normal limits

115
Q

what is seen in ABR w/ SNHL

A

wave 1 is prolonged (~ 2 ms)
wave 5 has normal latency (~ 6 ms)
Latency-intensity function shows a wave V not repeatable at 45 dB nHL – a higher hearing threshold

116
Q

whatdoes BS show in ABR

A

only wave 1 present

117
Q

what does vestib schwan show in ABR

A

diminished wave I and absent wave III & V
