Who is Georg von Bekesy?
100
These transducers are best for collapsed ear canals.
What are insert earphones?
100
This type of stimulus is used to obtain the speech reception threshold.
What is the spondee?
100

The interaural attenuation that occurs with insert earphones.

What is 60 dB?

100
The probe frequency used in tympanometry.
What is 226 Hz?
200

Audiology grew as a profession out of which world war?

World War II

200
If someone hears a tone at 40 dB HL, this would be the next presentation level?
What is 30 dB HL?
200
This type of testing is used to corroborate pure-tone thresholds?
What is speech reception threshold testing?
200
This difference between AC and BC thresholds in the test ear requires masking.

What is ≥ 10 dB?

200
The type of tympanogram expected with normal middle ear function
What is Type A?
300
The amount of time you should present a tone.
What is 333 ms?
300
This symbol is used for masked air-conduction thresholds in the right ear.
What is the triangle?
300
This is range of word recognition scores that would be expected for a conductive hearing loss?
What is 80-100%?
300
This occurs when the signal is physically present in the nontest ear.
What is crossover?
300
This condition is associated with a larger than normal canal volume.
What is an eardrum perforation or presence of a P.E. tube?
400

This value is known as a unit of loudness.

What is a phon?

400

Impaired air-conduction thresholds and normal bone-conduction thresholds are known as this type of hearing loss.

What is a conductive hearing loss?
400
Rollover on the PIPB function can indicate this kind of disorder?
What is a retrocochlear disorder?
400
This type of masking noise is most effective for masking tones.
What is narrow band noise?
400
The type of tympanogram associated with ossicular discontinuity

What is AD?

500
This is the difference in dB between Minimal audible pressure and minimal audible field thresholds?
What is 6 dB?
500

You don't use bone-conduction to test these frequencies.

What are 6000 and 8000 Hz?
500
Flexibility with people who have special needs is an advantage of presenting speech materials in this manner?
What is live voice testing?
500
A lack of shadow curve and no response in one ear may occur in this situation.
When the person is faking deafness in one ear.
