Hearing Loss Types of Hearing Loss Test 3

Question 1

Which audiometric pattern is most typical of high-frequency sensorineural hearing loss?

Accepted Answer

Sloping downward audiogram

Answer

High-frequency sensorineural hearing loss typically shows a sloping downward pattern on an audiogram, with worse thresholds at higher frequencies.

Question 2

Congenital hearing loss refers to hearing loss that is present at which time?

Accepted Answer

Birth or shortly after

Answer

Congenital hearing loss is present at or shortly after birth and can be caused by genetic factors, infections during pregnancy, or birth complications.

Question 3

Which condition is characterized by abnormal bone growth in the middle ear causing conductive hearing loss?

Accepted Answer

Otosclerosis

Answer

Otosclerosis is an abnormal bone remodeling disorder that typically affects the stapes, causing it to become fixed and unable to transmit sound properly.

Question 4

Auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder (ANSD) is characterized by which finding?

Accepted Answer

Normal otoacoustic emissions but absent ABR

Answer

ANSD typically presents with present (or previously present) OAEs indicating normal outer hair cell function, but absent or abnormal ABR indicating disrupted neural transmission.

Question 5

A 'cookie-bite' audiogram pattern shows greatest hearing loss at which frequencies?

Accepted Answer

Mid-range frequencies

Answer

A cookie-bite audiogram shows a U-shaped pattern with greatest hearing loss in the mid-range frequencies (1000–2000 Hz) and relatively better hearing at low and high extremes.
