Question

Accepted Answer

### Question 1
# Brief Explanations:
To build the term for a (graphic) record of hearing using "audi/oto", we combine "audi/o" (hearing) with "-graphy" (recording). So it's audiography.
# Answer:
audiography

### Question 2
# Brief Explanations:
For the study of hearing, we use "audi/o" and "-logy" (study of). So the term is audiology.
# Answer:
audiology

### Question 3
# Brief Explanations:
To form the instrument to measure hearing, we use "audi/o" and "-meter" (instrument for measuring). So it's audiometer.
# Answer:
audiometer

### Question 4
# Brief Explanations:
For inflammation of the mastoid bone, we use "mastoid/o" and "-itis" (inflammation). So the term is mastoiditis.
# Answer:
mastoiditis

### Question 5
# Brief Explanations:
To denote inflammation of the ear and mastoid bone, we use "oto" (ear), "mastoid/o", and "-itis". So it's otomastoiditis.
# Answer:
otomastoiditis

### Question 6
# Brief Explanations:
For excision of the mastoid bone, we use "mastoid/o" and "-ectomy" (excision). So the term is mastoidectomy.
# Answer:
mastoidectomy

### Question 7
# Brief Explanations:
To build the term for surgical repair of the middle ear, we use "tympan/o" (middle ear) and "-plasty" (surgical repair). So it's tympanoplasty.
# Answer:
tympanoplasty

### Question 8
# Brief Explanations:
For measurement of middle ear function, we use "tympan/o" and "-metry" (measurement). So the term is tympanometry.
# Answer:
tympanometry

### Question 9
# Brief Explanations:
To form the instrument to measure middle ear function, we use "tympan/o" and "-meter" (instrument for measuring). So it's tympanometer.
# Answer:
tympanometer

### Question 10
# Brief Explanations:
For a physician who studies and treats ear, nose, and throat diseases, we use "oto" (ear), "rhino" (nose), "laryngo" (throat), and "-logist" (one who studies). So it's otorhinolaryngologist.
# Answer:
otorhinolaryngologist

### Question 11
# Brief Explanations:
To form the instrument for visual examination of the ear, we use "oto/o" and "-scope" (instrument for visual examination). So it's otoscope.
# Answer:
otoscope

### Question 12
# Brief Explanations:
For hardening of the ear (stapes), we use "oto/o" and "-sclerosis" (hardening). So the term is otosclerosis.
# Answer:
otosclerosis

### Question 13
# Brief Explanations:
To denote discharge of pus from the ear, we use "oto/o" and "-pyorrhea" (discharge of pus). So it's otopyorrhea.
# Answer:
otopyorrhea

### Question 14
# Brief Explanations:
For abnormal condition of fungus in the ear, we use "oto/o", "myco" (fungus), and "-sis" (abnormal condition). So it's otomycosis.
# Answer:
otomycosis
