What do you do if you are familiarizing the patient to audiometry and they don’t respond to 1000 Hz at 30 dB?

One reason to take a case history is to build positive rapport with the patient. 

The unit of frequency is Hertz (Hz) and the perceptual equivalent is pitch. 

Assuming the ear canal is clear of cerumen and other objects, what should you be able to observe during otoscopy with the speculum in the ear canal? 

There are three rows of inner hair cells and one row of outer hair cells. 

Semicircular canals are receptors for angular acceleration of the head. 

Amplitude modulated (AM) tones should be used when conducting audiometry in the soundfield.

Human hearing is ________________ sensitive to 200 Hz than 1000 Hz. 

Auditory nerves are able to “lock” to what part of the signal in order to encode frequency?

What is the expected pattern of acoustic reflex thresholds?   Left ipsilateral: [LI] Right ipsilateral: [RI] Left contralateral: [LC] Right contralateral: [RC]
