Malleus n Incus n Stapes Oh My!
Say What?
It's Electric!
Oh Baby!
Can you "ear" me?

Stapedius Muscle
What is the muscle in the ear that contracts to loud sounds?
100
Otitis Media
What is inflammation of the middle ear cavity?
100
Refers to measuring the electrical activity of the brain and body
What is the auditory brainstem response (ABR) or auditory evoked potential (AEP)?
100
Testing performed on children in the sound field ages birth to 4-5 months. Involves presenting sounds & stimuli and watching the child for any changes in behavior (i.e. eye widening, sucking, startle response).
What is behavioral observation audiometry (BOA?)
100
Both air conduction (AC) & bone conduction (BC) thresholds are in the hearing loss range in this type of hearing loss.
What is sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL?)
200
Eustacian Tube
What is the structure responsible for equalizing pressure and maximizing tympanic membrane mobility?
200
Mcirotia & Atresia
What is a very small deformed pinna and/or the absence of the pinna or closure of the ear canal?
200
Low intensity frequency specific sounds that are generated by the cochlea.
What are otoacoustic emissions (OAE's)?
200
Involves conditioning a child to turn their head toward a stimulus when a sound is heard.
What is visual reinforcement audiometry (VRA)?
200
subjective & objective
What are two types of hearing assessments performed in audiology?
300
Temporal Bone
What is where is the inner ear or cochlea housed?
300
Exostoses
What are bony growths in the external ear canal that may be due to excessive swimming in cold water?
300
These cells play an important role in the otoacoustic emission (OAE) by producing a replication or echo of the sound which is received.
What are outer hair cells (OHC's)?
300
6-12 months of age (clue- think behavior)
What is the age when a child begins to turn their head towards a sound?
300
Air conduction (AC) thresholds are in the hearing loss range, bone conduction (BC) thresholds are in the normal range, and there are air bone gaps (ABG's) in this type of hearing loss.
What is conductive hearing loss (CHL)?
400
Retrocochlear
What is the type of pathology that involves the 8th nerve or the auditory brainstem?
400
Cholesteatoma
What is a cyst-like growth in the middle ear space located in the attic that can be associated with long periods of negative pressure and infection?
400
Has large amplitude, stability, and occurs on or near threshold.
What is wave V of the auditory brainstem response (ABR)
400
Delayed speech and language and higher incidence of central auditory processing disorder (CAPD) and learning disabilities.
What are the effects of otitis media and its impact on communication?
400
The type of audiological testing that generates vibrations of the skull and stimulates the cochlea directly.
What is bone conduction?
500
Tonotopically
What is how the inner ear (cochlea) is organized? (Basal end of cochlea corresponds to high frequencies and apical end corresponds to low frequencies)
500
Otosclerosis
What is an ear pathology that involves bony growth around the footplate of the stapes and oval window?
500
Auditory perceptual problems as a result of impaired central auditory nervous system; problems result in difficulty hearing in background noise
What is central auditory processing disorder?
500
Air conduction (AC) and bone conduction (BC) responses are in the hearing loss range and air bone gaps (ABG's) are present.
What is mixed hearing loss (MHL?)
