This graph shows the audible threshold for certain frequencies
What is the audiogram?
100
The amount of decibels lost in crossover going to the non-test ear.
What is interaural attenuation?
100
The purpose of speech testing.
What is to determine the patient's ability to hear and understand speech?
200
The air conduction is in hearing loss range, bone conduction is in the normal range, and there are air bone gaps in this hearing loss.
What is a conductive HL?
200
When a masking noise is so loud it crosses back to the test ear.
What is overmasking?
200
The lowest level in which a patient is able to produce a response to speech stimuli
What is speech recognition threshold (SRT)?
300
Both air conduction and bone conduction are in the hearing loss range in this type of hearing loss. There is no significant air bone gap.
What is a sensorineural HL?
300
60 dB HL
What is the interaural attenuation when using insert earphones?
300
This is a major draw back of pure tones
What is that they don't represent real-world situations?
400
The number of degrees of hearing loss (And list them)
What is six? (normal, mild, moderate, moderate-to-severe, severe, and profound)
Or seven (if you count slight)
400
0 dB HL
What is the interaural attenuation when using bone conducted headphones (aka a bone oscillator)?
400
40 dB SL
What is the presentation level for word recognition score (WRS) testing?
500
There is an air bone gap with this loss. Both the air and bone thresholds are in the abnormal range of hearing.
What is a mixed HL?
500
This occurs when the crossover can be heard by the non-test ear.
What is crosshearing?
500
Speech recognition scores help to do these things.
What are identify an auditory disorder and to help determine need for rehabilitation and amplification
500
These are issues of SRS testing.
What are: these tests don't significantly differentiate amongst listeners with hearing loss, cannot identify problems experienced by many listeners, and use of background noise is not standardized.
