Grand Rounds - Unique Patient Presentations, in partnership with The Ohio State University

Please note: exam questions are subject to change.

1. Cochlear hypoplasia is best described as: Complete absence of the cochlea A cochlea that is smaller than normal with incomplete development Abnormal fluid accumulation within a fully formed cochlea Calcification of the cochlear nerve
2. What is the most common type of hearing loss associated with Muenke Syndrome? Severe to profound high-frequency sensorineural hearing loss Conductive hearing loss due to ossicular malformation Mild sensorineural hearing loss in the mid to low frequencies Mixed hearing loss affecting all frequencies equally
3. When evaluating a pediatric patient with a complex genetic condition, what is a key limitation of relying solely on otoacoustic emissions (OAEs) for hearing screening? OAEs cannot be performed on children under the age of 5 OAEs require sedation in all pediatric patients OAEs reflect outer hair cell function and may not detect auditory neuropathy, retrocochlear pathology or some atypical hearing loss configurations OAEs are only valid when combined with tympanometry in genetic populations
4. Which of the following best describes the relationship between migraine and auditory dysfunction? Migraine activity is confined to the visual cortex and has no documented association with auditory symptoms Auditory symptoms such as tinnitus and sound sensitivity can occur as part of migraine-related neurologic involvement Sensorineural hearing loss associated with migraine is always bilateral and reversible Sound sensitivity in migraine patients is exclusively caused by middle ear pathology
5. What term describes the co-occurrence of both vision loss and hearing loss in the same individual? sensory processing disorder auditory-visual neuropathy multisensory deprivation syndrome dual-sensory impairment
