100
Users of this method attempt to use amplification methods such as hearing aids or cochlear implants to assist with residual hearing. It is expected they will eventually learn to speak and will fit into mainstream social, vocational, and educational settings.
What is Aural/Oral method
100
An electronic instrument that generates and amplifies pure tones, noise, and other stimuli for testing hearing.
What is an audiometer
100
The person's bone conduction is fairly normal. People with this type of loss can hear their own speech well.
What is conductive hearing loss
100
Treatment as well as education of the patient and their family.
What is Aural Rehab
100
composed of two parts, the pinna and the external auditory canal.
What is the outer ear
200
This method is a means of noverbal communication that involves signing and finger spelling.
What is Manual Approach
200
This hearing test is carried out to determine the threshold of hearing for selected frequencies.
What is pure-tone
200
This hearing loss is permanent because the damaged hair cells and acoustic nerves are not repairable. This person experiences very mild to profound deafness.
What is sensorineural hearing loss
200
This device amplifies sound and delivers it to the ear canal.
What are hearing aids
200
an air-filled cavity that is separated from the outer ear by the tympanic membrane containing the ossicular chain
What is the middle ear
300
This method involves teaching both verbal and nonberbal means of communication. Signs and speech are used simultaneously.
What is Total Communication
300
The lowest level of hearing at which a person can understand 50% of words presented.
What is Speech reception thresholds
300
May be caused by the presence of two separate disorders in the same ear. A conductive and sensorineural hearing loss.
What is mixed hearing loss
300
This device is surgically placed in the cochlea and other parts of the ear, and delivers the sound directly to the acoustic nerve endings in the cochlea.
What is Cochlear implant
300
The malleus, incu, and stapes are all components of this.
What is the ossicular chain
400
This nonverbal communication is the best known of the sign language approaches.
What is American Sign Language
400
A quick preliminary way to determine whether the person being tested has normal hearing.
What is a Hearing screening
400
Hearing loss due to aging
What is presbycusis
400
A specific loss at 2,000 Hz as indicated by bone-conduction testing.
What is Carhart's notch
400
The smallest bone in your body
What is stapes
500
In this form of nonverbal communication, ideas are communicated through quick precise movements made by the fingers.
What is fingerspelling
500
A technique used to record the electrical activity in the auditory nerve, the brain stem, and the cortical areas of the brain. It is useful in detecting brainstem diseases. It is also very helpful in testing the hearing of newborn infants.
What is Auditory Brain stem resonse (ABR)
500
Prolonged exposure to intense noises.
What is noise induced hearing loss
500
Words that are used during speech reception threshold testing that are two syllables with equal stress.
What is spondee words
500
This connects the middle ear with the nasopharynx. It helps to maintain equal air pressure within and outside the middle ear.
What is eustachian tube
