C) Bone Anchored Hearing Aid
D) Frequency Modulation System
What is A) Personal Hearing Aid
A structure in the inner ear that converts sound energy into a chemical-electrical signal
A) Auditory Nerve Fibers

C) Eustachian
What is B) Cochlea
The measure of the frequency of sound
What is hertz

D) Acoustic immittance
What is A) Otoscope
Problem with the transmission of sound from the outer to middle ear
A) Conductive Hearing Loss
B) Sensorineural Hearing Loss
C) Otitis Media
D) Mixed Hearing Loss
What is A) Conductive Hearing Loss
Used in the classroom to amplify message from teacher/peers, increase teacher’s voice above classroom noise
A) Personal Hearing Aid
B) Cochlear Implant
C) Bone Anchored Hearing Aid
D) Frequency Modulation System
What is D) Frequency Modulation System
The tube that is often blocked in infants and toddlers which causes fluid to build up in the middle ear
A) Auditory Nerve Fibers
B) Cochlea
C) Eustachian
What is C) Eustachian
The measure of the intensity of sound
What is Decibels
Basic Audiologist Exam that uses audiometer, allows audiologists to manipulate and present various stimuli like tone and speech to assess hearing
A) Visual Reinforcement Audiometry
B) Audiogram
C) Otoscopic Exam
D) Behavior Testing
What is D) Behavior Testing
Hearing loss due to the absence of or malformation of inner ear structures during embryonic development, genetic, seen in several syndromes
A) Otitis Media
B) Ototoxicity
C) Dysplasia/Aphasia
D) Noise-Induced Hearing Loss
What is C) Dysplasia/Aphasia
This amplification system is used by FM radio waves that are transmitted to a receiver which is sent to electrodes that are implanted in the cochlea. This sends neural impulses to the brain allowing noises/sounds to be recognized
A) Personal Hearing Aid
B) Cochlear Implant
C) Bone Anchored Hearing Aid
D) Frequency Modulation System
What is B) Cochlear Implant
An incision in the tympanic membrane (eardrum) to drain fluid from the middle frequently followed by insertion of a Tympanostomy Tube allowing air to pass into the middle ear restore hearing
A) Atresia
B) Myringotomy
C) Bone Anchored Hearing Aid
What is B) Myringotomy
