Enter Category Tympanometry & Middle Ear
This tympanogram type is most often associated with otosclerosis or ossicular fixation.
What is a Type As tympanogram?
Universal newborn hearing screening can be accomplished with these two tests.
What are ABR and OAEs?
This speech test corresponds most closely with the pure-tone average when performed correctly.
What is Speech Reception Threshold (SRT)?
During VRA testing, these types of visual stimuli are most interesting to children.
What are lighted mechanical toys?
This benign tumor on CN VIII causes unilateral progressive hearing loss and absent acoustic reflexes.
What is Acoustic neuroma (vestibular schwannoma)?
A flat tympanogram is most often associated with a fluid-filled middle ear space.
What is a Type B tympanogram?
This test measures neural responses to sound and is often performed on infants or under sedation.
What is Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR) test?
Word recognition scores are expressed this way on the audiogram.
What is percentage of words correct?
Conditioned Play Audiometry is most appropriate for this age group.
What is children ages 2–5 years?
This assistive device used by teachers improves classroom SNR by sending speech directly to the listener’s receiver.
What is FM or remote microphone system?
A tympanogram confirming a TM perforation or PE tube will have this type of volume reading.
What is Large ear canal volume?
This test measures the function of the outer hair cells in the cochlea.
What are Otoacoustic Emissions (OAEs)?
Best score on word recognition testing.
What is PB Max?
Universal newborn hearing screening can be performed by these trained individuals.
Audiologists, nurses, or trained volunteers
A baby born with severe sensorineural hearing loss will show this ABR result.
What are delayed latencies and reduced amplitudes?
Head trauma with ossicular discontinuity usually results in this tympanogram type.
What is a Type Ad tympanogram?
Hearing screenings in school-age children are performed using this test procedure.
What is Pure-tone air conduction testing?
The SRT test uses this type of speech material.
What are spondees?
Before newborn screening, the average age of hearing loss detection in the U.S. was this.
What is 3 years old?
According to Crandall & Smaldino (2000), the SNR for children with hearing loss in classrooms should be this.
What is +15 dB SNR?
Tympanometry cannot measure hearing sensitivity because it assesses only this part of the auditory system.
What is middle ear function?
This test is most often used to monitor ototoxicity or the damaging effects of excessive noise exposure.
What is Evoked OAE testing?
Word recognition testing should be performed at this intensity level.
What is MCL or 30–40 dB above the SRT?
This physiological test may be performed under sedation in infants.
What is ABR?
Pediatric cochlear implant candidacy was reduced to this age.
What is 9 months old?
