Q

what are some problems with eustachian tube dysfunction?

A

difficulty equalizing pressure
chemical and bacteria can get into the middle ear
cilia in the tube are unable to clear out middle ear cerumen - stagmant secretions can get infected leading to secondary problems

34
Q

what is acoustic neuroma?

A

a benign tumour developing in the vestibulocochlear nerve

38
Q

what is menieres disease?

A

a rare chronic inner ear disorder that causes problems with balance and hearing - causes episodic loss of hearing in 1 ear with tinnitus and vertigo

39
Q

how loud does a sound have to be to cause noise induced sensorineural hearing loss?

40
Q

whats the pathology of noise induced sensorineural hearing loss?

A

overtsimulatuon of hair cells in the organ of corti causes nitric oxide and free radical release which damages the hair cells

how do we treat presbycusis?

A

hearing aids

43
Q

how do we treat nosie induced hearing loss?

A

hearing aids

44
Q

how do we treat menieres disease?

A

diretary change - less sugars, salts to prevent water retention
antiemetics
vestibular supressants
diuretics

45
Q

how do we treat acoustic neuroma?

A

surgical resection or radiotherapy

46
Q

what are cerumenolytics?

A

ear wax softerning agents
