Which of the following types of speech recognition
materials is most useful to rule out a lesion affecting the
VIIIth nerve?
A.Closed-set monosyllabic and bisyllabic words that vary in
stress pattern
B.Closed-set sentences approximating natural syntax,
administered in varying intensity levels as in an ongoing
message
,C.Open-set, monosyllabic, phonetically balanced word lists
that are representative of the patient's language
D.Open-set, monosyllabic, phonetically balanced word lists,
administered at several intensity levels - ANSWERS-Option
(D) is correct. Speech understanding may be affected in a
patient with a suspected retrocochlear lesion. Administering
a performance-intensity function and then calculating
rollover would be an appropriate step before referring the
patient for more objective tests to rule out a retrocochlear
lesion.
Which of the following tests would yield the most important
information in the audiological evaluation of an adult with
an average unmasked air-conduction threshold of 90 dB90
decibels HL in one ear and normal sensitivity in the other
ear?
A.Tympanometry
B.Reflex decay test
C.The Stenger test
,D.Acoustic reflex testing - ANSWERS-Option (C) is correct. A
large difference in sensitivity in the ears of an adult is easily
verified by the Stenger test.
An audiologist owns a private practice and is in partnership
with a sibling, who is an ear, nose, and throat (ENT)
specialist. The audiologist receives direct referrals from the
ENT specialist for hearing-aid dispensing. Which of the
following laws are the professionals violating?
A.Anti-kickback law
B.Stark law
C.False Claims Act
D.Medicare Part B - ANSWERS-Option (B) is correct. The
Stark law is a set of United States federal laws that prohibit
physician self-referral, specifically a referral by a physician of
a Medicare or Medicaid patient, to an entity providing
designated health services (DHS) if the physician (or an
immediate family member) has a financial relationship with
that entity.

A.VIIItheighth-nerve pathology on the right side
B.VIIItheighth-nerve pathology on the left side
C.VIIthseventh-nerve pathology on the right side
D.VIIthseventh-nerve pathology on the left side - ANSWERS-
Option (D) is correct. The acoustic reflex relies on the
VIIthseventh nerve to carry the stimulus to the stapedial
muscle. The absence of any reflex in the left ear suggests
that there is a VIIthseventh-nerve pathology preventing
measurable reflex contraction on the left side.
