Perscriptive Approaches
This approach amplifies all sounds in the audible range
What is DSL
Bonus- What is habilitative approach
Independent, normative data, pediatric focused and validated, and individualized or require requirements for what?
What is prescription methods
This feature is useful when a speaker is in front of the listener, but often results in a directional deficit
What is directional microphones
This is a amplification publication for pediatric to follow in practice
What is AAA Pediatric Amplification Guidelines OR Ontario Protocol for the provision of amplification
This is the age of child + the degree and type of HL that benefits from Amplification
This approach amplifies only sounds that help speech inteligibility
What is NAL
Bonus- What is effective audibility approach
This tool is known as the distance between target and actual hearing aid output and the norms for children is
What is Root mean square error AND 3 dB RMSE
What is Digital Noise Reduction
This type of tympanometry is used in children
What is High frequency (1000Hz)
Name 3 differences in pediatric HA Selection compared to adult selection/fitting
What is
Tamper proof battery doors, retention clip/headband, extended warranties, BTE with ear mold preferred etc
This prescription is known for superior audibility and discrimination in soft and average speech and is meant for children
What is DSL
This is the impact of properly fitted hearing aids in children
What is better speech audibility for auditory skills and language development
These are the 3 main features used to support comfortable and benefit in overall listening experience
What is DM, ANR, and FGS
This age range is appropriate to use ABR or ASSR at 500, 1k, 2k, and 4k air and bone conduction thresholds
What is < and >6 months
This parent reported assessment has 2 version, one tailored to children <3 and one 3-6 that assess auditory behaviors
What is MAIS- Meaningful Auditory Integration Scale
Respectivly- which program uses real ear measurements and a 2CC coupler vs in canal dB SPL plotting
What is NAL vs DSL
Auditory Dosage is measured using what numbers?
What is unaided and aided audibility times hours of daily usage
These two features are to be used sparingly as they can impact speech and audibility
What is Feedback Suppression and Expansion
This is the time frame for re assessment post amplification fitting in children
What is every 3 months for first 2 years AND every 6 months after 2 years
These two pediatric hearing requirements influence language outcomes
What is amount of hearing aid use AND quality of hearing aid fitting
Marriage et al. (2017) found that what in DSL lead to better detection and discrimination of low level of speech sounds
What is higer prescribed gain levels
You are fitting a child with new ear molds who is having trouble sitting still and quiet. What can you do for RECD?
What is measure at least one ear and use that measurement
Last resort use estimated RECD based on child age
Wide dynamic range compression and compression channels have this goal in common
What is improved audibility
This assessment type out be added for infants over six months of age with a correlating developmental age
Bonus- +200 why is this?
What is behavioral assessment
Bonus- What is to obtain frequency and your specific information for amplification fitting
Quality of linguistic output is impacted by high-quality conversation, parental, influenced language, environments, language facilitation techniques, and what?
What is maternal education
