Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Hearing loss caused by a defect in the external or middle ear (referred to as conductive loss), is a mechanical obstruction of air conduction that may be helped by surgical intervention.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Uvulopalatopharyngo plasty corrects obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) by increasing the air space in the oropharynx. Upper airway obstruction may be caused by nasal obstruction, deviated nasal septum, hypertrophied tonsils and adenoids or overbite.
