31
What differentiates a ‘subjective’ vs. ‘objective’ hearing test?
32
Why do we do pure-tone audiometry?
33
Why do we use warble or pulse tones rather than pure tones for audiometry?
34
Why would we use a 5 down 10 up paradigm for testing hearing?
35
What’s the difference between bone conduction and ‘air’ audiometric testing?
36
What does a ‘bone/air gap’ on an audiogram mean? What does it indicate?
37
Why do we use contralateral masking?
38
Why don’t audiologists use masking for evaluating low thresholds (e.g. 0-20dB HL)?
39
What’s the difference between tinnutis and an auditory hallucination?
40
What disorders can otoscopy reveal?
41
What is tympanometry? How does it work?
42
What do we look for on a tympanogram?
43
What disorders can a tympanogram reveal?
44
What does exceptionally low admittance mean?
45
What does exceptionally high admittance mean?
46
What does an offset pressure response (e.g. the peak is higher or lower than atmospheric pressure) mean?
47
Why would we use OAEs diagnostically?
48
What does auditory brainstem response show us that OAEs don’t?
49
What kinds of testing are workable for a person who cannot or will not respond (e.g. comatose folks, babies, or suspected fraud cases)?
50
Why do drugs (e.g.) which disrupt the endocochlear potential lead to deafness?
51
What are some of the proposed mechanisms of presbycusis?
52
What does presbycusis look like on an audiogram?
53
What does ossicular dislocation look like on an audiogram?
54
What does otosclerosis look like on an audiogram?
55
What does loss of endocochlear potential look like on an audiogram?
