This behavioral technique can be used with babies from age 6 months and up.
What is Visual Reinforcement Audiometry (VRA)?
100
Streptomycin, Gentamycin and Kanamycin, for example.
What are ototoxic antibiotics?
100
These patients are targeted for both hearing and middle ear screening by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association(ASHA).
What are preschoolers?
100
This type of hearing loss accounts for 70% of hereditary hearing loss.
What is non-syndromic hearing loss?
100
At about 1 month of age.
When can a hearing-impaired child be fitted with hearing aids?
200
These two-syllable words are used to assess the threshold for speech, or SRT.
What are spondees (spondaic words)?
200
The hearing loss that results from a maternal infection passed to the child during childbirth.
What is perinatal hearing loss?
200
Rate is about 1.5% to 5% for good screening programs.
What is the failure rate for hearing screening of infants?
200
The female child in a family with X-linked inherited hearing loss, with a normal and a mutant gene.
What is a normal-hearing carrier?
200
This is the primary means of providing access for spoken language to hearing-impaired children.
What is amplification (or hearing aids)?
300
This utilizes PB words from CID-22 or NU6 lists for assessment.
What is the word recognition test?
300
Health professionals can identify these by known combinations of facial or skeletal, or other observable features present at birth.
What are syndromes?
300
A risk category for newborns that accounts for many disorders, including hearing loss, in the United States.
What is preterm birth (prematurity)?
300
The hearing loss produced by a recessive gene is known as DFNB-1.
What is Connexin-26 hearing loss?
300
When identified with this, children could language visually or auditory.
What is a severe to profound hearing loss?
400
Visual inspection, admittance, physical volume
What are three objective types of assessment performed in middle ear screening?
400
Rubella, genital herpes and HIV, for example.
What are maternal infections that may be transmitted to a baby in utero or during childbirth?
400
Up to about 6% by the time a child enters school.
What is the incidence of hearing loss for young children?
400
This type of inheritance can only be passed directly to male or female children by affected mothers.
What is mitochondrial inheritance?
400
From linguistic and rehabilitative viewpoint, one of the most important factors in hearing-impaired child's history.
What is age of onset of hearing loss?
500
This abnormal test result could be indicative of multiple sclerosis or an acoustic tumor
What are delayed interpeak latencies on an Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR)?
500
Characterized by long-standing conductive/mixed hearing loss, hypo-compliance (low admittance), normal physical volume, absent OAEs.
What is advanced otosclerosis?
500
Difficulty with sound localization and temporal aspects of sound, for example.
What are some indicators of auditory processing disorder?
500
The variability of expression (phenotype) in this type of disorder makes it easier to identify.
What is an autosomal dominant disorder?
500
In this category (or range) children may develop spoken language spontaneously, but with differences.
What is moderate group (or moderate hearing loss - 30 to 60 dB)?
