Q1 · Weber Test
NEET PGMediumExplanation
In conductive hearing loss the Weber test lateralises to the affected ear, because masking of ambient noise enhances bone conduction on that side. In sensorineural loss it lateralises to the normal ear. Rinne is negative, with bone conduction better than air conduction, in conductive loss.
Q2 · Rinne Test
EasyExplanation
A positive Rinne, with air conduction better than bone conduction, is found in normal hearing and in sensorineural hearing loss. A negative Rinne, with bone conduction better than air conduction, indicates a conductive hearing loss in that ear.
Q3 · Meniere Disease
NEET PGMediumExplanation
Meniere disease features episodic vertigo, tinnitus, and fluctuating sensorineural hearing loss, often with aural fullness, attributed to endolymphatic hydrops. Management includes salt restriction, diuretics, and betahistine.
Q4 · Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo
MediumExplanation
BPPV causes brief episodes of vertigo triggered by changes in head position, from displaced otoconia in the semicircular canals. The Dix-Hallpike test is diagnostic, and the Epley repositioning manoeuvre is the treatment.
Q5 · Acoustic Neuroma
NEET PGHardExplanation
An acoustic neuroma (vestibular schwannoma) is a benign tumour of the vestibular nerve at the cerebellopontine angle, causing progressive unilateral sensorineural hearing loss, tinnitus, and imbalance. MRI is the investigation of choice.
Q6 · Presbycusis
EasyExplanation
Presbycusis is bilateral, symmetrical, age-related sensorineural hearing loss that affects high frequencies first, making speech in noise hard to follow. Hearing aids are the mainstay of management.
Q7 · Ototoxicity
HardExplanation
Aminoglycosides such as gentamicin and streptomycin are classically ototoxic, damaging cochlear and vestibular hair cells and causing hearing loss and imbalance. Other ototoxic agents include high-dose loop diuretics, cisplatin, and quinine.
Inner Ear and Hearing sits within ENT, which carries the same syllabus in both exams. This set runs to 7 questions, each tagged Easy, Medium or Hard, 2 of them at Hard, and 3 drawn from previous-year papers.
Answer first, then read the explanation even on the ones you got right — the reasoning is where Inner Ear and Hearing marks are actually won, and it is what separates a recalled fact from a question you can solve in a new form. Once the Easy set feels comfortable, filter to Hard to find the gaps ENT examiners keep returning to.
FAQ
Yes. Every question and explanation in this Inner Ear and Hearing set is free and open — no login, no form and no payment. The explanation appears the moment you answer.
Inner Ear and Hearing sits within ENT, which appears in the same form in both syllabuses. Otorhinolaryngology essentials, where the ear accounts for the largest share of questions and audiology is consistently tested.
