53. Excessive cerumen in the ear canal will usually cause what looks like a sensorineural hearing loss. a. True b. False

Basic Types and Purpose of Hearing Tests (Question 54-62)

54. If a tuning fork test reveals that the Weber test lateralizes to the left ear, and the Rinne test reveals that bone conduction is better than air conduction on the left, these findings most commonly are produced by:

a. Left sensorineural hearing loss b. Left conductive hearing loss c. Right sensorineural hearing loss d. Right conductive hearing loss

55. The pure tones generally used in audiometric testing are:

a. 250, 500, 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000, 6000, and 8000Hz b. 500, 1000, 2000, 4000, 6000 and 8000Hz c. 100, 250, 500, 1000, 2000, 4000, and 8000Hz d. 250, 500, 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, 6000, and 8000Hz

56. The test procedure for air conduction pure tone testing for the first ear is:

a. 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, 6000, 8000, 1000 (repeated), 500, and 250Hz b. 250, 500, 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, 6000, and 8000Hz c. 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, 6000, 8000, 500, and 250Hz d. 250, 500, 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, 6000, 8000, 250 (repeated), and 500Hz (repeated)

57. Each frequency should be tested using brief bursts of sound no longer in duration than:

a. 2 sec. b. 4 sec. c. 5 sec. d. 6 sec.

58. For bone conduction pure tone testing, it is necessary to test the frequencies from:

a. 500 - 6000Hz b. 1000 - 4000Hz c. 250 - 8000Hz d. 250 - 4000Hz
