Interpret the procedural findings (audiometry, radiology report and otoacoustic emissions) in the context of Mr. Mott’s case. What is your diagnosis?
Faculty Learning Issues • Describe the components and physiology of the vestibulo-ocular reflex, and relate these components to the evaluation of nystagmus. • Distinguish among conductive and sensorineural hearing loss and central auditory processing disorders. Define how each type of hearing loss would alter the patient’s audiogram from normal. • Describe the physiological basis for and the interpretation of: Rinne and Weber tests, audiometric testing, otoacoustic emission and ABR testing. • List risk factors for hearing loss and vertigo that should be identified during history taking and/or evaluated during the physical exam.
