(B) SENSORY HEARING LOSS (in LEFT ear): Sound at Left (bad) Ear Sound at Right (good) Ear Weber's Test: Sound at Mastoid Process Sound at Ear Canal Rinne's Test: Left (bad) Ear: Right (good) Ear: Please summarize your results for both the Weber's test and the Rinne's test in someone with sensory hearing loss in their left ear. Rinne's test:

This is because the sound is being conducted better through the right ear, which compensates for the hearing loss in the left ear. Show more…

The patient complains of auditory decrease on the right side, purulent discharge from the ear, swelling at the post-auricular area. The patient has had these symptoms for 3 weeks after the flu. Body temperature - 37 degrees Celsius, plenty of serous-purulent discharge from the ear, slight edema of the mucosa in the nose. In the right ear, the pinna is attracted forward, and there is tender fluctuating swelling in the post-auricular area. The upper-posterior wall of the external auditory meatus is hanging over, and the lumen is narrowed. The eardrum has a central perforation and pulsating pus symptom. Whisper test results are 1m on the right and 6m on the left. Diagnosis? A. Right-side acute mastoiditis, subperiosteal abscess B. Post-auricular lymphadenitis C. Acute otitis media D. Right-side external otitis E. Right-side purulent parotitis

The most common cause of hearing loss is exposure to loud noise, such as music, which can permanently damage the hair cells of the cochlea. Would you expect this to result in conductive or sensorineural hearing loss? What results would you expect from the Rinne and Weber tests in an individual with noise-induced hearing loss? A standard hearing aid functions by amplifying the sound conducted through the external auditory canal. Explain why this type of hearing aid is effective for conductive hearing loss, but not sensorineural hearing loss?
