test for vestibular ache

mechanically transmit sound waves from the tympanic membrane through the oval window to the inner ear

what are the three small bones of the ossicles

the responses are plotted on a graph called

fluid in the middle ear frequently causes conductive hearing impairment

the end organ of hearing

give me five assessment in a client with hearing loss

in lined with mucous membrane that provides air passage from the nasopharynx to the middle ear

it is placed in the hole and cook around the incus to restablish a sound transmission

is a sensation of motion while the person is not moving or the client may feel he or she or the room is moving

relieve nausea and vomiting by inhibiting medullary chemoreceptor triggers

collect sound waves and directs them toward the auditory meatus

in one ear the sound is heard in the unaffected ear

what are the two main types of otitis media

a group of inflammatory diseases of the middle ear, most common in children

an incision into the tympanic membrane which fluid is removed by suction to relieve pressure and pus

an electronic instrument used to test hearing by producing sounds of varying pure tone frequencies and loudness

The sound is heard equally in both ears by bone conduction

May occur suddenly or gradually, it may be sensorineural, or CNS disorders

it involves interference with the conduction of sound impulses through the external auditory canal, the eardrum of the middle ear

it is performed to measure hearing comprehension

it is validated by weber's test

prescribe to increase sodium excretion through urine

what are the most common chief complaints of the ear

what are the classifications of hearing loss

contains auditory receptors which functions in hearing

an abnormal growth of the bone near the middle ear which can result in hearing loss

The client hears better by air conduction

maybe reported as high pitch or low pitch, loud, and persistent

bone conduction sounds louder

air conduction is greater than bone conduction

it is the single most important diagnostic tool in detecting hearing loss

a normal substance produced in the external ear

ear pain

function in the sense of balance

compares air conduction to bone conduction and helps to differentiate conductive from sensorineural hearing loss

results from disease or trauma to the inner ear or acoustic nerve

involves both conduction and sensorineural hearing loss

it is validated by rinne test

endolymph burst from its normal channels in the year and flows into areas, causing damage

a device designed to improve hearing which provides amplification to gather sound energy and directed to the air canal

connects the cochlea to the 3 semicircular canals, function in the sense of balance

assess the inner ear for balance

results from the interference of sound transmission through the external ear and middle ear

it's a sensation of unsteadiness and a feeling of movement within the head or lightheadedness

middle ear inflammation greater than 2 weeks that results in episodes of discharge of the ear "purulent otorrhea"

a gradual sensorineural loss caused by nerve degeneration in the inner ear or auditory nerve, a type of hearing loss that is associated with aging

reduce vertigo, nausea and vomiting, during an episode by suppressing vestibular activity

a person can correctly repeat what was whispered

caused by impairment of the function of the inner ear, eight cranial nerve, or the brain

can block sound from reaching the tympanic membrane

opening in the inner ear into which sound vibrations enter

membranous labyrinth is composed of blank

organ of static equilibrium

separates the external ear from the middle ear

swimmer's ear

maybe accompanied by vertigo or dizziness

The external ear is divided into

a feeling of fullness and define ass the presence of non-infectious fluid in the middle ear for more than 3 months

if the patient loses balance this is a blank

The sound is heard better in the affected ear

function in dynamic equilibrium

opening in the inner ear from which sound vibration exit

an inflammation of the ear canal

can be bloody(sanguineous),clear(serous), mixed(serosanguinous) or contain pus(purulent), may also be accompanied by an odor

it is used to assess the conduction of sound through the bone
