Answer to Question 1

1
Avoid placing water in the ear canal, which will only make the insect swell, thereby making it more difficult to remove. An otologist should be called for the removal. The audiologist may prescribe mineral oil or lidocaine to be applied to the ear canal.

Answer to Question 2

1
All of the client's complaints are signs and symptoms of Mnire's disease. Although hearing disorders may have similar signs and symptoms, they do not include all of them.
