43

44

hospitalized for treatment

47
Q

Sensorineural hearing ability is mediated by

A
  • inner ear composed of the cochlea with its internal basilar membrane and attached cochlear nerve (cranial nerve VIII)
48
Q

how is a Weber test performed

A
  • vibrating tuning fork placed top of the head equi-distant from the patient’s ears
  • The patient is asked to report in which ear the sound is heard louder.
49
Q

What is a normal Weber test

A

patient reporting the sound heard equally in both sides.

50
Q

how is a Rinne test performed

A
  • a vibrating tuning fork is placed initially on the mastoid process behind each ear until sound is no longer heard.
  • The fork is then immediately placed just outside the ear with the patient asked to report when the sound caused by the vibration is no longer heard.
51
Q

what is a normal rinne test

A
  • A normal or positive Rinne test is when the sound heard outside the ear (air conduction or AC) is louder than the initial sound heard when the tuning fork end is placed against the skin on top of the mastoid process behind the ear (bone conduction or BC). Therefore, AC > BC
52
Q

In conductive hearing loss, what will the weber and rinne test show

A
  • Weber: lateralization to ABNORMAL ear
  • Rinne: Bone conduction > air conduction
53
Q

In sensineuronal hearing loss, what will the weber and rinne test show

A
  • Weber: Lateralization to NORMAL ear
  • Rinne: AC > BC in normal ear
54
Q

AOM
