Audiogram

Question 1

audiogram

Answer 1

tracks the level of hearing in the left and right ear
*plots hearing based off of frequency/pitch (Hz) and volume (dB)

Question 2

how is right ear sensitivity mapped on an audiogram

Answer 2

red circles

Question 3

how is left ear sensitivity mapped on an audiogram

Answer 3

blue X’s

Question 4

frequency axis of an audiogram

Answer 4

deep tones = far left (125 Hz)
mid tones = middle
high tones = far right (8000 Hz)

Question 5

volume axis of audiogram

Answer 5

soft sound = top of screen (0 dB)
LOUD = bottom of screen (110-120 dB)

Question 6

how can bone conduction hearing levels be used to interpret hearing loss as either conductive or sensorineural

Answer 6

*if bone conduction test results are better than air conduction test results: conductive hearing loss
*if air conduction test results are better: sensorineural hearing loss
