Study Notes
Hearing Disorders: Part 2
- Students will evaluate patients, commonly involving a structured approach
- Initial step is taking a patient history
- Examples include asking about unintelligible speech in young children (2-3 years old) or about the duration and progression of hearing problems
- History, including the presenting problem, is the most important part of the patient interaction
- Next, a physical examination is generally conducted
- Often includes otoscopy, visually examining the ear canal and eardrum
- Additional tests may be needed based on history and exam findings, such as Goldman Fristo articulation test or audiograms
- Treatments or follow-up plans are developed based on the findings
- Factors like medical history, surgical history, and medication allergies are also important considerations
- Family history, especially relevant in genetic conditions associated with hearing loss, is valuable information
- The various tests for examining a patient's ear are presented
- Including different kinds of otoscopes and how they are used
- Including the importance of proper technique and adjusting speculum sizes
- The need to stabilize patients during otoscopy to prevent discomfort
- The significance of inspection of the ear
- Additional components of a holistic evaluation, which may include looking at masses, skin changes, and any asymmetry in the ears
- Considerations on the auditory canal, its complexities, and importance of the necessary procedures in evaluating hearing loss
- The need for distinguishing between various audiologic disorders
