Answer to Question 1

Answer: D

Adults should be screened for hearing at least every 10 years until the age of 50 and then every 3 years. A biannual or annual hearing test is not necessary for this age group. A hearing test is not needed when changing medication.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A

The tympanometry is an indirect measurement of the compliance and impedance of the middle ear to sound transmission. The external auditory meatus is subjected to neutral, positive, and negative air pressure while the resultant sound energy flow is monitored. The Rinne and Weber tests assess bone and air conduction with the use of a tuning fork. The whisper test provides a rough estimate of hearing loss.
