Savannah is an active 3-year-old who began to cough andsniffle. Then she experienced an earache and a markeddecrease in hearing acuity. During a physical examination, herpediatrician noted the following signs: elevated temperature,a reddened tympanic membrane with a slight bulge, and someinflammation in the pharynx. What might the pediatriciancall this condition, and how would it be treated? How doesSavannah’s age relate to her illness?

Maddie’s eardrum will likely heal on its own and she will not need surgery.
A perforated “eardrum” means that there is a tear or hole in Maddie’s tympanic membrane.
Maddie has sensorineural hearing loss due to the perforated eardrum.

- Presbycusis is an age-related hearing loss affecting individuals over the age of 65. Many affected individuals have difficulty understanding words because, although they may be able to hear the sound, they are unable to distinguish the exact words. This hearing loss is most noticeable at higher frequencies. Which of the following statements correctly describes an individual suffering from presbycusis? Select one: a. Individuals with presbycusis have damaged hair cells at the base of the cochlea, which is closest to the oval window. b. Increasing the volume of higher frequency sound allows individuals affected with presbycusis to hear better. O c. Individuals with presbycusis have damaged hair cells at the apex of the cochlea, which is farthest from to the oval window. Od. Decreasing the amplitude of lower frequency sound allows individuals affected with presbycusis to hear better.arrow_forwardAfter chronic ear infections as a kid, my husband experienced what is known as otosclerosis. Basically, his ear bones started to fuse together. This resulted in hearing loss. What type of hearing loss is this, and how can it be treated?arrow_forwardA 33-year-old, right-handed roller derby skater comes to you complaining of periodic attacks of tinnitus ("ringing" or "buzzing") in her left ear and vertigo (the sensation that she and her surroundings are moving relative to one another, when she is standing or sitting still). She says these attacks have been becoming more frequent over the past year or so and that now, between attacks, she feels as though she can't hear as well with her left ear as she can with her right. Your examination reveals that the auditory threshold is indeed elevated in her left ear, whether you use air conduction or bone conduction. You also notice that touching either cornea with a wisp of cotton causes her right eye to blink briskly and her left eye to blink somewhat sluggishly. Then you notice that she seems to have a somewhat asymmetrical smile: The right side of her face moves more than the left. Which of the following best accounts for this patient's list of problems? Damage to the left…arrow_forward
- Tinnitus produces a ringing sound in the ear, although no external sound is actually present. It is a symptom that manifests from various underlying conditions of the ear. One condition that leads to tinnitus is earwax impaction. Many individuals use cotton swabs to clean the auditory canal daily. Instead of removing the earwax, cotton swabs tend to push the earwax farther into the auditory canal, causing the earwax to accumulate in the ear. This may result in tinnitus and decreased ability to hear. Earwax impaction in the auditory canal will Select one: a. lead to the loss of hair cells in the organ of Corti b. lead to perception deafness c. damage the ossicles d. lead to conduction deafnessarrow_forwardWhich of the following statements concerning the inner ear is TRUE? Question 3 options: a) The bony labyrinth within the tempoal bone contains spaces for the semicircular canals and the cochlea. b) The fibers of the cochlear nerve are attached to hair cells in the semicircular canals to carry information about movements of the head. c) The frequency of sound waves as defined by their wavelengths are perceived as pitch and are measured in decibels (dB). d) The saccule and utricle are critical sensory receptors for interpreting language, distinct from other sounds.arrow_forwardA 61-year-old woman has had difficulty hearing since having a cerebral infarction 1 day ago.

What sort of hearing loss is the person likely to experience and what sort of hearing device could assist them? Explain the reasons for your answer based upon how the inner ear functions. b) Consider a person who has a partial loss of myelin in their auditory nerve. What effect would the loss of myelin have upon the ability of this person to perceive speech and would either a hearing aid or cochlear implant provide any benefit to their hearing ability? Explain the reasons for your answer based upon how the inner ear and auditory pathway function.

The stapes is attached to the oval window. c. The auditory canal is separated from the middle ear by the round window. d. The cochlear duct is filled with perilymph. e. The semicircular ducts are connected to the utricle, and the cochlear duct is continuous with the saccule. f. The spiral organ is located in the scala tympani.arrow_forwardMr. Joseph arrived at the office with an ear infection. After the doctor carefully examined Mr. Joseph’s ears, he noticed that there was something in the left ear. He ordered his medical assistant to perform an ear irrigation on the patient. What instructions should the medical assistant give to the patient regarding the procedure? Mr. Joseph becomes increasingly anxious when he is informed that the procedure could be a little painful. How should the medical assistant respond to Mr. Joseph’s anxiety?arrow_forwardIf Maddie’s hearing loss persists after her perforation is healed, which of the following scenarios is likely? Maddie suffered sensorineural AND conductive hearing loss from the head injury in the pool. Maddie will likely lose hearing in her left ear, too, but less severely. Her hearing loss is genetic and will be passed on to her future children. Maddie will continue to lose hearing bilaterally as she ages.arrow_forward
