Step 1
Typically, an audiogram will use different symbols to represent the thresholds for the left and right ears. In this audiogram, the red circles (O) and the red "<" symbols represent the right ear, while the blue squares (□) and the blue ">" symbols represent the Show more…

The Weber test shows lateralization to the right ear. The Rinne test is positive in the right ear. What type of hearing loss does this patient have and in which ear?

22. Describe the tests you would use to assess a patient's hearing acuity. What results would you expect if the patient's ability to hear and localize sounds was suspected to be below normal? 23. During a Weber test, the arm of a tuning fork was placed on the patient's forehead. She was able to hear the tone in the left ear, but not in the right ear. Explain what these results indicate.
BIO Measuring Hearing Loss To determine the amount of temporary hearing loss loud music can cause in humans, researchers studied a group of 20 adult females who were exposed to $110-\mathrm{dB}$ music for 60 minutes. Eleven of the 20 subjects showed a 20.0 -dB reduction in hearing sensitivity at 4000 $\mathrm{Hz}$ . What is the intensity corresponding to the threshold of hearing for these subjects?
