Title: 3.2: HIS 120 Lesson 3 Quiz
Course: 15SP-HIS-120-W02-A & P OF AUDITORY AND SPEECH > Section: Dropbox

Q: Acute otitis media is a condition that has persisted for a long period of time.
- True
- False
A: False
If wrong: Chronic otitis media occurs over a longer period of time. Acute otitis media has a sudden onset.

Q: A conductive hearing loss will result in:
- normal bone conduction thresholds and abnormal air conduction thresholds
- normal air conduction and normal bone conduction thresholds
- normal air conduction thresholds and abnormal bone conduction thresholds
- abnormal air conduction and bone conduction thresholds
A: normal bone conduction thresholds and abnormal air conduction thresholds

Q: Excessive cerumen will result in a sensorineural hearing loss.
- True
- False
A: False
If wrong: Excessive earwax resides in the external auditory canal, which would result in a conductive loss.

Q: Cold water swimmers may develop bony growths in the earcanal called:
- otomycosis
- exostoses
- otosclerosis
- stenosis
A: exostoses

Q: Disorders of the inner ear ususally result in a _____________________ hearing loss.
A: sensorineural

Q: A normal, Type A, tympanogram is expected with a sensorineural hearing loss in the absence of other ear complaints.
- True
- False
A: True

Q: Presbycusis begins in the:
- low frequencies
- high frequencies
- mid frequencies
- middle ear
A: high frequencies
If wrong: Presbycusis begins in the high frequencies due to the tonotopic organization of the cochlea.

Q: Complaints of ear pain, crackling/popping sound in the ear, and/or ear pressure are commonly associated with:
- eustachian tube dysfunction
- presbycusis
- Meniere's disease
- ototoxicity
A: eustachian tube dysfunction

Q: Sensorineural hearing loss can be treated medically or surgically.
- True
- False
A: False
If wrong: SNHL is permanent and cannot be treated with medication or surgery.

Q: Mixed hearing loss has both sensorineural and conductive hearing loss components.
- True
- False
A: True

Q: Noise-induced hearing loss is characterized by a:
- Schwartze's sign
- noise notch
- Carhart's notch
- Hennebert's sign
A: noise notch

Q: Complete absence of the outer ear is called:
- stenosis
- anotia
- microtia
- atresia
A: anotia

Q: A barotrauma is due to:
- a rapid pressure change
- overexposure to cold water
- q-tip use
- ototoxic medications
A: a rapid pressure change

Q: Otosclerosis may be characterized by:
- Schwartze's sign
- Carhart's notch
- bony growth in the ear canal
- a and b
A: a and b

Q: A treatment option for conductive hearing loss is:
- hearing aids
- surgery
- medication
- all of the above
A: all of the above

Q: Another term for otitis media is swimmer's ear.
- True
- False
A: False
If wrong: Otits media is an infection of the middle ear, whereas swimmer's ear is an infection of the outer ear (otitis externa).
