SAMPLE PATIENTS

Choose one; please be sure to identify which patient was chosen within your sample audiogram paper.

Patient A: Three-year-old female with chronic ear infections in both ears. Her mother reports that she has fluid in the right ear today.

Patient B: 80-year-old male with a history of working in a noisy environment. He says he has ringing in his left ear.

Patient C: 30-year-old female referred by her doctor, who suspects adhesions affecting the mobility of the ossicular chain. The right ear is the ear, which does not seem to hear well.

Patient D: 45-year-old male who recently fell and hit the left side of his head. His doctor has seen a large perforation of the eardrum in the left ear. The patient says everything sounds muffled!

Patient E: 7-year-old boy, who accidentally put a pencil into his right ear. He thinks the eraser may be stuck in there.
