higher
There are ____ rates of insurance coverage among minority groups compared to non-hispanic whites
lower
_______ & ______ work closely together in the evaluation & diagnosis of auditory & vestibular pathology
audiologists & otologists
______ diagnose disorders of hearing
audiologists
Audiologists can conduct ______ screening examination and identify ear _______
otoscopic
abnormalities
Audiologist conduct audiologic and ___________ tests to evaluate hearing & identify potential pathology
electrophysiologic
Audiologist CANNOT providem a _________ diagnosis of pathology and needs to ______ ____
medical
refer out
Otologist is a
General doctor of the ear
Otolaryngologist
Ear & Throat
Otorhinolaryngologist
ENT (may be more E than T)
Otoneurologist
Ear & brain (pathology like an acoustic neuroma)
In office exam will include a complete ______ & related _____ history + _______ examination (nose & throat as needed) and _________ evaluation (as needed)
otologic
health
otologic
vestibular
List the 4 types of otoscopes that are all within the scope of practice and the ____ mirror
Otoscope: handheld
Video Otoscope
Pneumatic Otoscope*
Microscopic Otoscopy*
Head Mirror*
Can audiologist evaluate ET function
Yes
What is the maneuver otologist use to evaluate the ET function
valsalva maneuver ( if there is an intact TM) while TM is observed otoscopically
pt is asked to close mouth, squeeze nostrils tightly while blowing air outward
With normal ET function, ET will open forcing positive pressure in ME space
If ET opens, the TM will appear to balloon outward
Then pt. is asked to swallow, causing the ballooning to disappear as the ET opens to equalize the positive pressure previously created
*other procedure is used with non-intact ™
If the ET function is normal it will “_____” outward when the mouth and nostreils are closed and air is blown outward
balloon
List the 4 procedures for evaluation of CANS and the 2 sub categories
ABR
ASSR
MLR
LAER

*acoustic stimulus is transmitted to the ears through earphones
The patient during an ABR test should be ______
still

5
