1 MCQs in ENT for NEET PG
A 62-year-old male hearing aid user presents with 3 weeks of progressive muffled hearing in the left ear, aural fullness, and autophony. Otoscopy reveals complete obstruction of the left external auditory canal by dark brown, firm, impacted cerumen. Weber test lateralizes to the left, and Rinne test on the left shows bone conduction better than air conduction. Pure-tone audiometry demonstrates the pattern marked **A** in the diagram. Which of the following findings would BEST confirm that this conductive hearing loss is reversible and secondary to cerumen impaction rather than a fixed ossicular pathology?
