Back 39

external otitis media

Front 40

inflammation of the inner ear (cochlear or vestibular portion) Sx- vertigo, tinnitus and sensorineural hearing loss on the affected side. Rare condition since the use of antibiotics. Destruction of cochlea or labyrinth cause permanent deafness

Back 40

Labyrinthitis

Front 41

sensorineural hearing loss associated with aging. Loss of higher frequency sounds related to degenerative changes in the inner ear, loss of hair cells, reduction of blood supply

Back 41

Presbyacusis

Front 42

Most common conductive hearing loss, occurs because of pathologic changes in the bones of the middle ear

Back 42

Meniere’s disease

Front 44

Loss of central vision related to atrophy or deterioration of the macula. Peripheral vision remains. Associated with aging.

Back 44

macular degeneration

Front 45

the point on the retina where light rays meet as they are focused by the cornea & lens of the eye.

Back 45

macula

Front 46

lens loses its transparency and/or becomes opaque. Associated with aging, but may be congenital, caused by eye injury or secondary to metabolic problems such as diabetes mellitus. Surgical removal and insertion of intraocular lens.

Back 46

cateracts

Front 47

changes in the retina due to poorly controlled diabetes. It is the leading cause of vision loss in adults under age 40. Sx; retinal edema & hemorrhage & leads to gradual blurring and may progress to blindness. Prevention = yearly eye exam

Front 54

test using tunning fork placed at the top of the head. Equal vibrations should be heard in both ears. In conduction deafness vibration will be best heard in the affected ear. In sensorineural loss the sound is heard in the unaffected ear.

Back 54
