You are now tuning in to the MPTE clinical files to mock MPTE-based questions told and solved

week by week. Thank you for tuning in to the MPT clinical files. My name is Kyle Rice, the MPT

prep coach, the founder of the PT Hustle and the creator of the MPT Prep Success Coaching Program.

And if you would like a free cheat sheet that goes along with this specific

get that. All right. So for our next MPT clinical file, we have our patient. Will and Will presents

to physical therapy with complaints of difficulty hearing, the patient reports that loud sounds

have gradually become muffled. Upon examination, the patient is able to hear the sound of a vibrating

tuning fork better on the mastoid than when placed outside of the ear. Which of the following is the most likely present?

So we look down at our answer choices.

We have A, sensory neural hearing laws, B, bone conduction laws.

C, press Bucis.

We got to figure out what the heck are we dealing with.

Now, are you familiar with the whole

because we need to go ahead and make sure that we're using a right special test, understanding

it so that we can rule this stuff in and out.
