Inner Ear

Question 1

Audiometric findings for inner ear diseases

Answer 1

Sensorineural hearing loss

Question 2

Speech audiometry for inner ear diseases

Answer 2

PTA and SRT are at 0-6dB of each other

WRS patients have frequently less than 96%, depending on degree and configuration of hearing loss

Question 3

Dysacusis

Answer 3

Difficulty understanding speech

Common with inner ear diseases

Question 4

Dynamic range for speech for inner ear diseases

Answer 4

Reduced
UCL and LDL hearing level at which speech is uncomfortably loud for the patient
For normal hearing 100 to 110 dB HL

Question 5

Recruitment in terms of cochlear diseases

Answer 5

A rapid growth of loudness

Question 6

Acoustic reflect threshold

Answer 6

Obtained at low sensation level(SL) less than 70 dB SL

Question 7

What is a sensorineural hearing loss

Answer 7

Caused by damage or disorder of the cochlea and/or the auditory nerve

Question 8

Pure tone audiometry for sensorineural hearing loss

Answer 8

Air and bone conduction thresholds are abnormal at some or all frequencies
No air bone gap

Question 9

How is dynamic range for speech calculated?

Answer 9

Arithmetic difference between the uncomfortable loudness level and the Speech Recognition Threshold

Question 10

Dynamic range of hearing for normal hearing

Answer 10

100 dB
