C. Functions most closely like the Vestibulocochlear Nerve
D. Receives information from the CN in both ears and sends it to the nucleus of the LL
D. Receives information from the CN in both ears and sends it to the nucleus of the LL
At this stage, patients typically postpone purchasing hearing aids if they are recommended, as they are sometimes still in denial and trying to reason with themselves and put the blame on everything and everyone but themselves.
A. Acceptance

C. Bargaining
D. Denial
C. Bargaining
A. How easy it is for the tympanic membrane to be stretched
C. Oval window
What is the job of the Medial Geniculate Body?
A. Plays a key role in suppressing reverberation, reducing spectral splatter noises, and helps reduce background noise
B. Encodes time, intensity, & frequency from auditory signals
C. Regulates information from the CN, SOC, LL, and IC by sending it to the appropriate areas of the brain to determine whether it’s meant for sight, taste, touch, hearing, or all motor skills
D. Receives information from the CN in both ears and sends it to the nucleus of the LL
C. Regulates information from the CN, SOC, LL, and IC by sending it to the appropriate areas of the brain to determine whether it’s meant for sight, taste, touch, hearing, or all motor skills

A. True
B. False
B. False.
What stage is it?

What is the job of the Primary Auditory Cortex?
A. Plays a key role in suppressing reverberation, reducing spectral splatter noises, and helps reduce background noise
B. Encodes time, intensity, & frequency from auditory signals
C. Regulates information from the CN, SOC, LL, and IC by sending it to the appropriate areas of the brain to determine whether it’s meant for sight, taste, touch, hearing, or all motor skills
D. Sorts, interprets, and stores all information in the brain about the sounds that were received from the auditory pathway
D. Sorts, interprets, and stores all information in the brain about the sounds that were received from the auditory pathway
What questions might a patient ask you if they want help to improve their hearing?
A. “What can I do to hear better?”
B. “Is there anything that will help me?”
C. “Is my hearing loss going to get better?”
D. Both a and b
D. Both a and b.
Why?
A. Epidermis
C. It is connected to the inner hair cells/stereocilia with loose attachment
What is the job of the second Auditory Cortex?
A. Helps in sound localization and analysis of the most complex sounds, like the human language.
B. Encodes time, intensity, & frequency from auditory signals
C. Regulates information from the CN, SOC, LL, and IC by sending it to the appropriate areas of the brain to determine whether it’s meant for sight, taste, touch, hearing, or all motor skills
