Question

the doctor places a vibrating tuning fork on the midline of the patients skull and asks the patient if the sound is heard equally in both ears. this describes the weber test rinne test schwabach test rosenbaum test question 48 (mandatory) (2 points) listen intense pain with movement of the pinna is most closely associated with? otitis media with effusion otitis externa vertigo bacterial otitis media

Explanation:

• Weber test: In the Weber test, a vibrating tuning fork is placed on the midline of the skull (usually the forehead or vertex). The patient is asked if the sound is heard equally in both ears. If there is a conductive hearing loss in one ear, the sound will lateralize (be heard louder) to the affected ear. If there is a sensorineural hearing loss, the sound will lateralize to the normal ear.
• Rinne test: Compares air conduction and bone conduction. A vibrating tuning fork is first placed on the mastoid process (bone conduction) and then in front of the external auditory meatus (air conduction).
• Schwabach test: Compares the patient's bone - conduction hearing with that of a person with normal hearing.
• Rosenbaum test: Is a vision - related test (near vision test using a Rosenbaum pocket card).

• Otitis media with effusion: Usually presents with a feeling of fullness in the ear, decreased hearing, but not typically intense pain with pinna movement.
• Otitis externa: Also known as “swimmer’s ear”. It is an inflammation of the external auditory canal. The ear canal is tender, and movement of the pinna (auricle) or tragus causes intense pain.
• Vertigo: Is a sensation of dizziness, a feeling that the room is spinning. It is not directly related to pinna - movement - induced pain.
• Bacterial otitis media: May cause ear pain, but the pain is more related to middle - ear inflammation (e.g., from pressure changes in the middle ear due to infection) rather than pain on pinna movement.

Answer:

For the first question: Weber test.
For the second question: Otitis externa.
