electroacoustic

__ tests are useful for populations that are otherwise difficult to test.

nonbehavioral

electroacoustic/electrophysiologic tests are __; that is, they don’t rely on patient responses.

otoacoustic emissions

__ __ is a type of testing that evokes a response from the cochlea.

transient evoked

this type of OAE involves a brief stimulation of the cochlea.

distortion product

this type of OAE involves a complex stimulation of the cochlea.

true

T/F: the presence of OAEs does not signal normal hearing sensitivity.

transient evoked

this type of OAE does not rule out mild HL.

distortion product

this type of OAE does not rule out mild to moderate HL.

auditory brainstem response

acronym: ABR

auditory steady state response

acronym: ASSR

distortion product otoacoustic emissions

acronym: DPOAE

transient evoked otoacoustic emissions

acronym: TEOAE

VIII

this CN is tested during brainstem response studies.

false

T/F: you can use ABR/ASSR alone to identify HL.

ASSR

this type of electrophysiologic measure can differentiate between severe and profound HL.

ABR

this type of electrophysiologic measure uses a click stimulus.

ABR

this type of electrophysiologic measure can be used for screening.

electronystagmography

acronym: ENG

videonystagmography

acronym: VNG

videonystagmography

this type of electrophysiologic measure is beyond the scope of the SLP

microtia

congenital malformation of the pinnaa

anotia

complete absence of the pinna

true

T/F: microtia is unilateral in 90% of cases.

impacted cerumen

wax buildup causing occlusion of outer ear canal

otitis externa

infection of skin in the external ear canal

otitis externa

the medical term for “swimmer’s ear”

exostosis

benign tumor of the external ear canal

osteoma

benign, slow-growing neoplasm of the bone

outer

microtia, impacted cerumen, otitis externa, exostosis, and osteoma are all disorders of the __ ear.

tympanic membrane perforation

hole in the eardrum

otitis media

negative pressure in the middle ear space

otosclerosis

buildup of spongy bone in the ear

cholesteatoma

overgrowth of skin cells in the middle ear

ossicular chain discontinuity

disarticulation of ossicles

middle

tympanic membrane perforation, otitis media, otosclerosis, cholesteatoma, and ossicular chain discontinuity are all disorders of the __ ear.

false

T/F: a sensorineural HL will show an ABG on the audiogram.

waardenburg syndrome

cochlear syndrome also causing pigmentary abnormalities of skin/hair/eyes

usher syndrome

hereditary syndrome affecting hearing, vision, and balance

acoustic trauma

technical term for noise-induced hearing loss

ototoxicity

“poisoning” of the ear

Meniere’s disease

disease of excess endolymphatic fluid

presbycusis

age-related hearing loss

auditory processing disorder

acronym: APD

auditory processing disorder

impairment of auditory information interpretation

sensorineural

syndromes, trauma, infections, ototoxicity, Meniere’s, and presbycusis cause __ hearing loss.

auditory processing disorder

poor listening, decreased attention, and poor phonological awareness are possible signs of __.

listening strategies, metalinguistics, self-advocacy

3 skills the SLP can target when treating APD
