All 10 questions are answered. Here's a quick summary of what's covered:

Quick Reference Guide — What Each Answer Covers:

Q	Topic	Key Points to Memorize
Q1	Intratemporal facial nerve	GSPN → Nerve to stapedius → Chorda tympani; ENoG >90% = surgery
Q2	Otogenic cerebellar abscess	DANISH signs; CT brain; burr hole + MRM
Q3	Nystagmus	Frenzel's glasses; peripheral = fixation suppressed; Grade I/II/III
Q4	Otosclerosis	Carhart's notch; Paracusis Willisii; Schwartze sign; As tympanogram; LASER advantages
Q5	Impedance audiometry	A/As/Ad/B/C types; Stenger's principle; ABR/OAE for malingering
Q6	Research methodology	Case-control vs cohort; OR = ad/bc; RR = incidence ratio; Impact Factor
Q7	Meniere's disease	Endolymph K⁺ high; gentamicin ablation vs endolymphatic sac surgery vs neurectomy
Q8	Acoustic reflex	5-neuron arc; decay >50% in 10 seconds = retrocochlear; absent in otosclerosis
Q9	Pure tone audiometry	Subjective; shadow hearing; masking dilemma; Carhart's; 4 bone conduction mechanisms
Q10	Barotrauma	IEBT = descent/Valsalva/fistula; IEDCS = ascent/bubbles/HBO; PLF = bed rest → fat graft

Study tips:

Draw the facial nerve diagram for Q1 — examiners love labelled diagrams
Memorize the Jerger tympanogram table for Q5
For Q9, group the limitations into: subjective / frequency / masking / clinical utility categories
Q6 is the only non-clinical question — the 2×2 table formulas are high-yield
