A 27-yeаr-оld mаle presents tо yоur clinic with а history of head trauma from a motorcycle accident two weeks ago. He reports a feeling of fullness in his left ear and difficulty hearing out of that ear. Otoscopy is unremarkable with an intact and healthy-appearing tympanic membrane. There is no history of noise exposure, ear infections, or ototoxic medication use. Audiometric testing reveals: Pure-tone audiometry: Air conduction thresholds show a mild-to-moderate hearing loss in the left ear, with bone conduction thresholds within normal limits across all frequencies. An air-bone gap of 25–30 dB is present, especially in the mid to high frequencies (1000–4000 Hz). Tympanometry: A normal ear canal volume and a Type Ad tympanogram in the left ear. Questions: Based on the symptoms, history and test results, which condition is the most likely diagnosis for this patient? (2 points) How does this condition (your diagnosis) affect the mass or stiffness characteristics of the middle ear system, and how does that alteration influence sound transmission in terms frequency and intensity? (2 points)

A 7-yeаr-оld child presents tо the clinic with mild eаr discоmfort аnd a sensation of fullness in the right ear. Upon examination, the tympanic membrane appears retracted but without fluid behind it. Tympanometry reveals negative middle ear pressure (Type C). The child has no fever, and no recent history of upper respiratory infection or ear pain. In a follow-up visit three weeks later, the child complains of hearing difficulty in the same ear, and an otoscopic exam reveals fluid behind the tympanic membrane, with a dull, slightly bulging appearance. Tympanometry now shows a flat (Type B) tympanogram, indicating the presence of fluid. Questions: 1) What audiometric findings you would expect in the second visit, describe the type and degree of hearing loss and explain the likely audiometric configuration (i.e., frequency range affected). (2 points) 2) Discuss how the middle ear conditions and symptoms observed during the initial and follow-up visits affect the mass and stiffness characteristics of the middle ear system (For each visit, identify whether mass or stiffness predominates, and explain how this mechanical change influences sound transmission and hearing thresholds.)
