When a person has sensorineural hearing loss, their thresholds decrease but their dynamic range remains the same.

MASKING Where do you need to mask? For each ear/transducer, enter the frequencies that need to be masked without commas (e.g.: 250 500 1000). Please list frequencies from lowest to highest. If no frequencies need to be masked, write “none”.

What is this? What tymp do you expect? What type of hearing loss would you expect? Is this hearing loss permanent or transient?  

The acoustic reflex must be repeatable, time-locked to the stimulus, and show a 0.01 mmho decrease in admittance.

Consider this ABR (auditory brainstem response) test. What is the approximate latency of Wave V for the left ear (top tracing)?

The procedure used when masking is called the ________________ method.

Ototoxicity refers to hearing loss cause by drugs such as antibiotics or chemotherapy agents. 

What is the best hearing aid option for a patient with poor dexterity?

The most likely etiology (cause) of this hearing loss is:

For the audiogram above, Word Recognition Score (WRS) will need to be masked for the Right Ear.
