Version‚ a commonly used questionnaire that quantifies hearing handicap‚ is used to accurately correlate to hearing loss verified on audiometric findings. An audiogram is used to determine type‚ degree‚ and configuration of a hearing loss. Early signs of otosclerosis show hearing loss in low-frequency tones. As the disease progresses‚ an audiogram reveals loss in both high and low frequencies‚ showing a flat configuration. Bone conduction loss at 2‚000 Hz is known as the Carhart notch. This has been

middle ear space. Otosclerosis is generally not detectable by a physical examination of the pinna and ear canal. Occasionally the Schwartze sign‚ a vascular promontory‚ results in a rosy glow that can be seen through the tympanic membrane. The audiogram of a person with otosclerosis will show a low frequency air-bone gap consistent with conductive hearing loss. The bone conduction thresholds will be altered and they may appear to be 5dB poorer than the air conduction thresholds. Carhart’s notch

Bottlenose dolphins are among the most vocal of the nonhuman animals and exhibit remarkable development of the sound production and auditory mechanisms. This can be seen in audition‚ which is shown in the animals highly refined echolocation ability‚ and in tightly organized schools in which they live that are made up by sound communication. In testing the communication skills of dolphins‚ extensive studies have been done on vocal mimicry‚ in which the animal imitates computer-generated sounds in

Auditory Neuropathy Spectrum Disorder (ANSD) is defined as a hearing condition in which sound enters the inner ear normally‚ but the transmission of the signal to the brain is impaired. The characteristics of ANSD are highly variable and can manifest as any degree of hearing loss and functional ability. Some individuals with ANSD have minimal auditory complaints and do not know of their condition until adulthood. Others can have a complete lack of sound awareness‚ localization and auditory-based

Extended and Expanded Role of Otorhinolaryngology Nursing 1.0 Introduction: Kate B and Francine M C (2008) stated that advanced practise roles in nursing originated from US in late 1960s as a response to the doctors shortage. Subsequently to that‚ more recent roles have stretched rapidly in the UK and other Western countries‚ either in the form of substitution (nurses replace some areas of practice) or complementing activity to enhance the work in others. According to Wright S.G (1995) the
