23. When air conduction testing shows a hearing loss and bone conduction testing shows normal hearing, the loss is a:

a. Conductive hearing loss b. Sensorineural hearing loss c. A mixed hearing loss d. A central hearing loss

24. The Schwabach Test:

a. Compares the hearing sensitivity of a patient's left and right ears b. Compares the hearing sensitivity of the patient with that of the examiner c. Is easily administered if the patient has a mixed loss d. Stimulates only one ear at a time

25. Tuning fork tests are:

a. Always accurate in aiding in diagnosis b. Dependent upon many variables c. Difficult to perform d. Necessary to determine sensorineural hearing loss

26. Tests by air conduction measure sensitivity:

a. Throughout the entire hearing pathway b. From the inner ear to the brain c. Through the middle ear only d. Through the inner ear only

27. The air-bone gap (ABG) on an audiogram shows:

a. The amount of sensorineural involvement only b. The total hearing loss c. The amount of conductive involvement d. The bone conduction responses only

28. Bone conduction test results:

a. May be better than air conduction test results b. May be worse than air conduction test results c. May be the same as air conduction test results d. All of the above
