Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Patients with tinnitus may use masking techniques, such as playing a radio, to block out the ringing in the ears. The responses Do you grind your teeth at night? and Are you ever dizzy when you are lying down? would be used to obtain information about other ear problems, such as vestibular disorders and referred temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pain. The response What time do you usually fall asleep? would not be helpful in assessing problems with the patient's ears.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are potentially ototoxic. Acetaminophen, atenolol, and albuterol are not associated with hearing loss.
