Presentation Transcript

  1. Sensorineural Deafness – True or False A. Characteristically produces bone conduction better than air conduction on tuning fork testing B. Due to acoustic trauma characteristically presents an initial hearing loss at 4 KH C. Following life long exposure to noise in the textile industry is a prescribed disease D. Is a recognised sequel to mumps E. Is a recognised adverse reaction to furosemide.

  2. Glue Ear – True or False A. Is the most common cause of hearing loss in children B. Is characterised by the collection of pus in the middle ear C. Is invariably caused by enlarged adenoids D. May be treated by the insertion of grommets E. May eventually lead to sensori-neural deafness

  3. In Patients with Presbycusis A. Recruitment is typically present. B. Characteristically male voices are heard more easily than female voices C. High fibre diets have been shown to delay the progress of the condition D. High environmental noise levels do not influence the rate of progress of the condition. E. Hearing by bone conduction is unaffected.

  4. Recognised causes of unilateral tinnitus include A. Middle ear effusion B. Otosclerosis C. Prosthetic heart valves D. Acoustic damage from industrial noise E. Acoustic neuroma

  5. A 30 year old bank clerk presents with a 12 month history of right sided tinnitus and progressive hearing loss on the right. He recently sufferred from episodes of dizzyness, vomiting, a tendancy to fall to the right and double vision on looking to the right. You might expect to find A. Conductive hearing loss on the right only. B. Absent right corneal reflex C. Inability to move the left eye medially D. Paralysis affecting only the lower facial muscles on the right side E. Horizontal nystagmus on looking to the right.

  6. An abnormal audiogram in a child age 6 A. May be caused by a URTI B. May represent poor technique by the tester C. Is an indication for urgent ENT referral D. Should indicate careful examination of the middle ears E. Is always present in serous otitis media

  7. Congenital Deafness A. May be positively identified by careful screening tests at 8 months old B. Should be anticipated following exposure of the pregnant mother to mumps during the first trimester C. Following streptomycin administration in the first trimester would be sensori-neural in type. D. Is never unilateral E. May be associated with neonatal kernicterus

  8. Recognised causes of deafness in childhood include A. Prematurity B. Mumps C. Neonatal jaundice D. First branchial arch malformation E. Head injury
