all about anatomy
middle child
incus
pure tone air conduction
degree of hearing loss
no CAP(D), I have trouble hearing in these situations
noisy
otitis media (ear infection)
most common type of hearing aid these days
RIC
the all-knowing ear
auricle
OAES
hearing screening, differential diagnosis
poor SRT/PTA agreement, SRT is significantly better than PTA
non-organic hearing loss
I am not a PET, but I will drain the fluid
Pressure Equalizing Tube
hearing aid appropriate for profound losses
BTE
mastoid
the 3 measurements of tymps
static compliance, ear pressure, ear canal volume
where peripheral hearing loss occurs
don't pimple pop these growths
exostoses
not for the TV, this transmits the sound source directly to the hearing aid
remote microphone
during typms, at last i see the ___
cone of light
ABRs
screening, differential diagnosis, test difficult to test patients
example of a congenital hearing loss
genetic disorders
difference between cholesteatoma and otosclerosis
cholesteatoma is a build-up of keratin, otosclerosis is spongy bone growth over the states footplate
amplification good for conductive hearing losses
BAHA
I connect to the round window
trick question-nothing, stapes footplate connects to the oval window
the ART of a right CHL
R ipsi/contra - elevated/absent
L ipsi/contra - normal
asymmetric high-frequency SNHL, unilateral tinnitus, dizziness
acoustic neuroma
Type C tymp
eustachian tube dysfunction
CROS vs BiCROS
CROS = bad ear to good ear
BiCROS = worse ear to better ear
