Profession
Considered the mother of pediatric audiology
Marion Downs
The two classifications of otoscopy results after examination
WRS is typically presented at this supra-threshold level
40 dB SL
Air conduction frequencies for pure tone testing
250-8000 Hz
When the stimulus sound is audible in the non-test ear it is...
Cross heard
Decade typically associated with hearing instrument dispensing
1970s
3 areas you inspect during otoscopy
the pinna, external ear canal, and the tympanic membrane
The same results will be obtained if the test is repeated
Reliability
Type of unit employed for hearing aids and other devices
dB SPL
The reduction in the amount of sound energy transmitted from one ear through the head to the other ear
Interaural attenuation
This is required to practice audiology in all 50 states
Licensure
Technique for avoiding injury during otoscopy
Bracing
Type of WRS test employed for linguistic differences
Closed-set test
This type of audiometric procedure involves a testing environment for both ears at once but is most relevant to the better hearing ear
Soundfield
Type of noise ideal for pure tone testing
Narrowband Noise
An audiologist's primary employment setting
ENT practice
Scope of practice: A patient has fluid in the middle ear space
We refer out
Pediatric WRS test for children age 3
NU-CHIPS
Bone conduction frequencies during pure tone testing
Transducer(s) and their occlusion correction factors
Supra-aural: 15 dB, 15 dB, 10 dB
Insert: 10 dB, 10 dB
AuD, clinical doctorate
We use otoscopy for this
to rule out outer ear pathologies and ensure canals are sufficient for testing
A decrease in word recognition performance at high intensity levels
Rollover
This type of hearing loss presents with air conduction and bone conduction impaired on an audiogram with a 25 dB ABG
Mixed hearing loss
What is the initial masking or minimum level of masking noise necessary to just increase AC in the non-test ear for the plateau method
10 dB SL
