Audiology and Speech Disorders — Flashcards

Flashcard 11: If there is unilateral _____ hearing loss, the Weber test localizes to the normal ear

Answer: sensorineural

Flashcard 12: In _____ hearing loss, Rinne is false negative.

Answer: severe unilateral sensorineural

Flashcard 13: If there is unilateral _____ hearing loss, the Weber test localizes to the affected ear

Answer: conductive

Flashcard 14: Impedence audiometry consists of _____ and acoustic reflex measurements

Answer: Tympanometry

Flashcard 15: Rinne test is called _____ when AC is longer or louder than BC.

Answer: positive

Flashcard 16: Speech audiometry consists of _____ and SDS.

Answer: SRT

Flashcard 17: BERA shows _____ Wave I in conductive hearing loss

Answer: delayed

Extra: BERA Wave Latency Patterns: - **Conductive Hearing Loss**: All absolute latencies (I, III, V) are increased, but inter-peak latencies (I-V) are **normal**. - **Cochlear SNHL**: Absolute and inter-peak latencies are typically **normal** (at high intensities). - **Retrocochlear SNHL**: Wave I latency is normal, but Wave V is delayed, resulting in **increased I-V inter-peak latency** (usually >4.4 ms).

Flashcard 18: Click stimulus is used for _____

Answer: BERA (Brainstem Evoked Response Audiometry)

Flashcard 19: _____ frequencies affected first in conditions such as presbycusis, ototoxicity, noise induced hearing loss and intracranial schwannoma

Answer: Higher

Flashcard 20: _____ can help in early detection of noise-induced hearing loss

Answer: OAEs (Test)
