________ nerve.
tympanic membrane - correct answer. The external ear is separated from the middle
ear by a disk-shaped structure called the ________________________.
auricle (pinna) - correct answer. The _______ collects the sound waves and directs
vibrations in to the external auditory canal.
cerumen (ear wax) - correct answer. A brown, waxlike substance secreted by
ceruminous glands is called?
1 mm - correct answer. How wide is the eustacian tube?
35 mm - correct answer. How long is the eustacian tube?
It helps to conduct sound vibration. - correct answer. What is the function of the
tympanic membrane?
pearly grey - correct answer. What color is NORMAL for the tympanic membrane?
pars tensa - correct answer. Approximately 80% of the tympanic membrane is
composed of all three layers and is called the ___________.
,pars flaccida - correct answer. The remaining 20% of the tympanic membrane that
lacks the middle layer is called ?
annulus - correct answer. The fibrous border that attaches the eardrum to the
temporal bone ?
perilymph - correct answer. The bony labyrinth surrounds and protects the
membranous labyrinth, which is bathed in a fluid called ___________.
hearing
balance and equilirium - correct answer. What are the two functions of the ears?
eustacian tube - correct answer. Helps to equalize pressure in the ear ?
seborrheic dermatitis - correct answer. A flaky scaliness on or behind the auricle
usually indicates _____________________ and can be present on the scalp and facial
structures as well
5 mm - correct answer. The largest speculum that the ear canal can accommodate
____mm.
gently irrigate the canal with warm water - correct answer. If the tympanic membrane
cannot be visualized because of cerumen, the cerumen may be removed how?
Weber and Rinne tests - correct answer. Name two tests used to assess a patient's
hearing ability.
Weber test - correct answer. This test for hearing uses bone conduction to test
lateralization of sound. What is it called?
Rinne test - correct answer. This hearing test is done by shifting the stem of a
vibrating tuning fork between two positions: 2 inches from the opening of the ear canal
and against the mastoid bone. As the position changes, the patient is asked to indicate
which tone is louder or when the tone is no longer available. What is it called?
The Weber Test - correct answer. Results of this test are used to determine whether
the patient has conductive hearing loss or sensorineural hearing loss. Which test?
air conduction - correct answer. Which type of conduction should be longer for
sensiorneural hearing loss? Air or Bone?
TRUE - correct answer. Conductive hearing loss such as from otosclerosis or otitis
media, when performing the Weber test the sound lateralizes toward the affected ear
T/F?
Bone - correct answer. Weber test just does ____ conduction.
,Audiometry confirms a client's chronic progressive hearing loss. Further investigation
reveals ankylosis of the stapes in the oval window, a condition that prevents sound
transmission. This type of hearing loss is called a: - correct answer. conductive
hearing loss
frequency, pitch, and intensity - correct answer. Name three characteristics that are
important when evaluating hearing.
frequency - correct answer. The number of sound waves emanating from a source per
second, measured as cycles per second, or Hertz.
20-20,000 Hz - correct answer. What is the range of human hearing?
intensity - correct answer. Loudness of sound is known as _________.
decibel (dB) - correct answer. The unit for measuring loudness, the pressure exerted
by sound. Hearing loss is measured using this unit.
0-15 dB - correct answer. The normal hearing in decibels ?
>15-25 dB - correct answer. Slight hearing loss in decibels ?
>25-40 dB - correct answer. Mild hearing loss in decibels ?
>40-55 dB - correct answer. Moderate hearing loss in decibels ?
>55-70 dB - correct answer. moderately severe hearing loss in decibels ?
>70-90 dB - correct answer. Severe hearing loss in decibels ?
>90 - correct answer. Profound hearing loss in decibels ?
tympanogram - correct answer. measures middle ear muscle reflex to sound
stimulation and compliance of the tympanic membrane by changing the air pressure in a
sealed ear canal ?
-family history of sensorineural impairment
-congential malformations of the cranial structure (ear)
-low birth weight (<1500g)
-use of ototoxic medications (e.g., gentamycin, loop diuretics)
-recurrent ear infections
-bacterial meningitis
-chronic exposure to loud noises (jobs, hobbies)
-perforation of the tympanic membrane - correct answer. Risk factors for hearing loss
(8) ?
, presbycusis - correct answer. hearing loss associated with old age is called ?
Aural Rehabilitation - correct answer. intervention aimed at minimizing and alleviating
the communication difficulties associated with hearing loss ? Can be used if hearing
loss is permanent or untreatable or if the patient elects not to be treated.

education for post mastoid surgery
would be incorrect?
-Avoid getting water in the ear.
-Constant throbbing pain may be a sign of infection.
-Call for assistance to ambulate to prevent injury.

with profound sensorineural hearing loss bilaterally who do not benefit from
conventional hearing aids. T/F ?
-Glycerin
-mineraloil
-½ strength H2O2, or peroxide in glycerol - correct answer. What can you use to
soften earwax/cerumen and irrigate the ear canal? (3)

-pruritus
-hearing loss
-feelings of fullness in the ear - correct answer. S/S of external otitis (7)
