Question

Work collaboratively with your partner. It is important that both individuals put in the same amount of work. Please respect each other's ideas and learning styles. After reading the case below, you should formulate a strategy on how best to approach and manage this patient. Please organize your thoughts according to diagnosis and case management. Student pairs will be expected to present their case to their colleagues via an audio-visual format. Presentations must be at a minimum 8 minutes in length, but must not exceed 10 minutes. Time limits will be enforced strictly. All cases are confidential and should NOT be shared with anyone else, other than your partner. History: Your patient is a 58-year-old female with a complaint of hearing loss in her right ear. The difficulty was first noticed about five years earlier and has been gradually progressive to the point where she relies entirely on her left ear for communication. She does not experience true vertigo, but frequently she has attacks of unsteadiness and occasional headaches. She also complains of a constant noise in her right ear, which she describes as "bacon frying." Her family physician has told her that the hearing loss is related to.
