Howard Solo is a 65-year-old patient and a retired airline ground maintenance technician. He worked for 40 years for American Airlines. He complains of tinnitus and hearing loss that have worsened over the past year. An audiogram was obtained on July 24, 2009 at the time of the patient's initial visit. This audiogram revealed an average 75 dB (decibel) hearing loss through the speech frequencies in the right ear with an average loss of 80 dB loss in the left ear.

1.) The middle ear chamber is an air-filled “hole in the head”, which is adapted to allow free movement of the tympanum as it vibrates. Unless the pressure in the chamber is equal to atmospheric pressure outside, the tympanum will be stretched outward or inward, impeding its vibration and causing discomfort or pain. When moving up in the elevator of a tall building, the surrounding atmospheric pressure is: a) increasing causing air to enter the middle ear chamber through the Eustachian tube. B.) increasing causing air to enter the middle ear chamber through the auditory canal C.)decreasing causing air to leave the middle chamber through the Eustachian tube D.) decreasing causing air to leave the middle ear chamber through the auditory canal
A 33-year-old, right-handed roller derby skater comes to you complaining of periodic attacks of tinnitus ("ringing" or "buzzing") in her left ear and vertigo (the sensation that she and her surroundings are moving relative to one another, when she is standing or sitting still). She says these attacks have been becoming more frequent over the past year or so and that now, between attacks, she feels as though she can't hear as well with her left ear as she can with her right. Your examination reveals that the auditory threshold is indeed elevated in her left ear, whether you use air conduction or bone conduction. You also notice that touching either cornea with a wisp of cotton causes her right eye to blink briskly and her left eye to blink somewhat sluggishly. Then you notice that she seems to have a somewhat asymmetrical smile: The right side of her face moves more than the left. Which of the following best accounts for this patient's list of problems? Damage to the left…
