100
A ______ hearing loss occurs when there is a problem transferring sound through the outer or middle ear.
Conductive
100
True or False: All exposed wiring should be assumed to be energized.
True
100
This tympanogram shows normal hearing or sensorineural hearing loss.
Type A
100
This average should be the same level as the speech reception threshold.
Pure-tone average
100
True or False: Current is equal throughout a parallel circuit.
False
200
________ is used in hearing aids to provide audibility without loudness discomfort.
Compression
200
This system is one that does not change over time.
Time Invariance
200
This test measures the lowest intensity level at which 50% of spondee stimuli are recognized correctly.
Speech reception threshold (SRT)
200
Presenting pure tones at one level and asking the patient to respond when they hear a beep is called a ____.
Hearing Screening
200
This describes the ease with which acoustic energy is transmitted in the outer and middle ear.
Acoustic immittance.
300
These tactics are implemented by a participant in a conversation to rectify a breakdown in communication that has occurred.
Repair Strategies
300
This equation is associated with Ohm's law and is used to describe the action of electrons in a circuit (also need to name the units used for each component)
E/V: Voltage (volts)
I: Current (Ampere/amps)
R: Resistance (Ohms)
300
This is the age of cognitive ability when an average person achieves the same level of performance.
Mental age
300
This Truth Table has the rule "combinations with 0 result with output always being zero".
And Gate
300
This is the ability of a test to correctly identify the unaffected individuals.
Specificity
400
This hearing aid setting must be active for someone to benefit from an induction loop system.
Telecoil
400
Convert this binary to a decimal: 1101

400
These would be the acoustic reflex results if the patient had a brainstem lesion (describe the results of their contralateral and ipsilateral acoustic reflex, as well as their audiogram).
1. Ipsilateral reflexes are normal
2. Contralateral reflexes are abnormal
3. Pure tone audiogram is normal
400
These are the reasons acoustic reflex can be used to test facial nerve damage (2).
1. There will be an absence if damage occurs at a site above the branch of the nerve to the stapedius muscle
2. Muscles recover smallest muscle first (stapedius muscle recovers early)
400
Two of the following methods are used for a newborn hearing screening (NBHS).
Auditory Brain Response (ABR) and Otoacoustic Emissions (OAE)
500
This Personal Adjustment Counseling category aims at modifying the thought process.
Cognitive
500
This name is used to describe a transition band that is very narrow/wide.
Roll-off
500
This term describes a phenomena in which rapid growth of loudness occurs once the threshold is reached.
Loudness recruitment
500
What are the voltage values of R1 and R2?
R1= 14 volts
R2= 10.5 volts
500
This test is used to show evidence of the inner ear being a non-linear system.
