Called habilitation in child
What is the kind of therapy associated with training someone with hearing loss?
100
An examiner typically presents stimuli at about 30 to 40 dB SL for this test.
What is the word recognition test (WRT)?
100
The acoustic energy produced by the outer hair cells, measurable with a probe tip at the entrance to the external auditory meatus.
What are otoacoustic emissions?
100
The type of reflective sound that makes listening in a classroom difficult.
What are late reflections (reverberation)?
100
Characterized by normal hearing sensitivity, normal OAEs, and difficulty hearing speech in noise.
What is an auditory processing disorder?
200
A synchronized neural response arising from the brainstem at about the level of the inferior colliculus.
What does wave V represent?
200
Duration of exposure, individual susceptibility, and rest
What are the most important determinants of noise-induced hearing loss?
200
This is particularly useful in evaluating hearing-impaired children who may only be able to detect suprasegmental features of speech.
What is the Monosyllable-Spondee-Trochee (MST) test?
200
This type of auditory processing test is designed to exclude other language or hearing disorders.
What are dichotic listening tests?
200
The adult patients with this problem often report having neurological, non-auditory symptoms, and difficulty understanding speech in noise.
What is auditory neuropathy?
300
Microphone, sound processor, receiver
What are main components of a hearing aid?
300
A type of audiogram which shows low frequency responses only at high intensities.
What is a corner audiogram?
300
The response in those with normal auditory function can be observed at least one minute.
What is acoustic reflex decay?
300
Distance and reverberation
What are two things that create a poor acoustical setting for classroom instruction?
300
Children and adults using this can perceive only about 30% of speech without additional input.
What is speechreading?
400
1% of genetic hearing impairments
What is rate of mitochondrial inheritance?
400
The PI-PB function that suggests a retrocochlear disorder.
What is rollover?
400
Used to screen for middle ear disorders.
What are physical volume and admittance?
400
Normal intelligence, native English speaker, age 7 and up, for example.
What conditions must be present to perform a reliable auditory processing test?
400
A hereditary auditory disorder that is likely to appear after a person's exposure to aminogylcocide antibiotics.
What is mitochondrial inherited hearing loss?
500
Abnormal responses to loud sound as a result of over-sensitivity, or due to auditory status.
What is hyperacusis?
500
This structure continues to mature and develop for several years after birth.
What is the auditory cortex?
500
A normal OAE result and an abnormal ABR finding.
What is the pattern of results for someone with auditory neuropathy?
500
A secondary microphone for a talker, with a receiver for the listener.
What is an FM system?
500
A surgically implanted device that has a removable external piece, designed for someone with normal cochlear function.
