Codes which are used to indicate procedures which have been performed on a patient for billing purposes.
What are CPT codes?
A long reddish-yellow vegetable with thin leaves and a long stem, belonging to the parsley family.
What is a carrot?
Units of measurement on the X axis of the tympanogram.
What are decaPascals (daPa)?
The minimum IA used for masking decisions using an ER-3A.
What is 55 dB?
Amplification in which the same amount of gain is applied to all frequencies is called this.
What is linear amplification?
The part of the brain involved in the negative emotional responses associated with tinnitus is called this.
What is the limbic system?
The natural resonance of the adult ear canal is typically measured around this frequency.
What is 2700 Hz? Or 3000 Hz?
The frequency of the standard probe tone for tympanometry.
What is 226 Hz?
A blue square.
What is the symbol for a masked air conduction threshold for the left ear?
The part of the hearing aid that converts electrical energy into acoustic energy.
What is the receiver?
No hearing aid may be sold to a person this age and under without medical clearance by an ENT.
What is 16 years?
The type of hearing aid fitting for which an equilization procedure must be performed prior to obtaining verification measures.
What is an open fitting?
Tympanometric trace which is characteristic of otitis media.
What is a a type B or flat trace?
The feature of a masking test profile which indicates that the response is from the test ear.
What is a plateau?
The difference (in dB SPL) between the input and output levels of the hearing aid.
What is gain?
This set of procedures not only protects both audiologists and patients alike, but is a federal mandate and an ethical obligation.
What is infection control?
The insertion depth of the probe tube in a typical adult female ear.
What is 28mm?
This type of reflex is generated when the measurements are made with the probe in one ear while the stimulus is presented to the opposite ear.
What is a contralateral acoustic reflex?
The amount of occlusion effect associated with BC testing at 250 Hz when using a supra-aural earphone on the nontest ear.
What is 20 dB HL?
The point at which the slope of the input/output function of the hearing aid changes is called this.
What is the (threshold) kneepoint?
Examples include: hearing with filters, minimization of patient affect and being right.
What are barriers to listening?
The difference, in dB, between the SPL produced in the ear canal and the SPL produced in a coupler, by the same source.
What is RECD - Real ear to coupler difference?
The level above the reflex threshold at which the stimulus for reflex decay testing is typically presented.
What is 10 dB HL?
This anatomical structure is the source of the occlusion effect when masking for BC thresholds.
What is the cartilaginous portion of the EAC?
