Tinnitus and Noise-induced hearing loss
100

An SRT that is obtained at a lower dB level than the pure tone average may indicate this type of loss.

What is non-organic hearing loss?

100

These two cranial nerves are activated in the acoustic reflex.

What are the VII and VIII cranial nerves?

100
In this pathology, only Waves I and II are present.
What is severe brainstem dysfunction incompatible with life?
100
Given a unilateral conductive hearing loss, this tuning fork test lateralizes to the poor ear.
What is the Weber test?
100

These are examples of treatment for tinnitus.

Hearing aids, cognitive therapy, tinnitus retraining therapy, sound generators, maskers

200

These three factors should be considered in APD management.

What are compensation, environment, and remediation?

200
This pattern of reflex decay suggests retrocohlear pathology.
What is 50% or more reflex decay within 10 seconds.
200
This latency-intensity function is expected for sensorineural hearing loss.
What is a steep latency-intensity function?
200
This emission is evoked by two pure tones.
What is a distortion product emission?
200

With this disorder, a person becomes excessively sensitive to sound

What is hyperacusis?

300

This test is an example of a monaural low redundancy test used in APD testing.

What is low-pass filtered speech or time-compressed speech.

300
Given this type of hearing loss, acoustic reflexes may be present, elevated, or absent depending on the degree of hearing loss.
What is sensory hearing loss?
300
This is the most important ABR peak when testing infant hearing.
What is Wave V?
300

A normal result on this test rules out both sensory and conductive hearing loss.

OAE test

300

Noise-induced hearing loss is most pronounced at this frequency.

What is 3000-6000 Hz?

400

This test is used for individuals who are suspected of having nonorganic unilateral hearing loss.

What is the Stenger test?

400
Given normal hearing in both ears and Type A tympanograms, this type of disorder is indicated for right ipsi absent, right contra present, left ipsi present, and left contra absent.
What is VIIth nerve paralysis (Bell's palsy)?
400
This type of hearing loss would be diagnosed for a Wave V air-conduction threshold of 50 dB and a Wave V bone-conduction threshold of 10 dB.
What is conductive hearing loss?
400

This is the name of the reflex that coordinates eye and head movements?

What is the vestibular ocular reflex?

400

This system is responsible for emotional associations with tinnitus?

What is the limbic system?

500

This disorder might be confused with nonorganic hearing loss.

What is auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder or cortical deafness?

500
Unilateral hearing loss in the right ear and absent ipsi and contra reflexes in the right ear, absent contra in the left ear, and present ipsi in the left ear.
What is reflex pattern expected for a right conductive hearing loss?
500
This type of disorder would cause a prolongation between Waves I and III in one ear.
What is an VIII nerve tumor?
500
This balance disorder is associated with episodic dizziness, hearing loss, and tinnitus
What Meniere's disease?
500

Steady-state noise is defined to be a hazard at this level?

What is 85 dB SPL?
