Case 8 Audiometrics

□       What is the largest air-bone gap observed?  Is masking needed in the left ear at 500 Hz?  If the bone conduction threshold had been 0 dB HL, would masking then be needed?  Is there a chance that the > score at 500 Hz is reflecting the right ear having responded to the unmasked bone-conduction signal?

□       He says he has a cold.  Given the audiometric results, is conductive loss secondary to an upper respiratory infection suspected? What is the loss type in the right ear?
