pupils of unequal size
dilated pupils
question 12 (mandatory) (2 points)
listen
during a hearing assessment you find that the sound lateralizes to the patients left ear with the weber test. what can you conclude from this?
he has a conductive hearing loss in his right ear.
lateralization is a normal finding with the weber test.
he could have either a sensorineural or conductive loss.
you must have made a mistake and so need to repeat the test.

Explanation:

Question 11

Anisocoria is a condition where the pupils are of unequal size. Excessive tearing is related to lacrimal gland issues. Uneven curvature of the lens is astigmatism. Dilated pupils are just enlarged pupils, not necessarily unequal.

In the Weber test, if sound lateralizes to one ear, it can indicate either a conductive hearing loss in the ear where sound lateralizes (if there is conductive loss, the bone - conducted sound is perceived louder as external sound is blocked) or a sensorineural loss in the opposite ear (as the damaged cochlea in the opposite ear cannot process sound as well). Lateralization is not a normal finding. It doesn't mean a mistake was made.

Answer:

pupils of unequal size
