What types of sound might ANR enact upon if enabled?

Answer 9

Steady-state noise in a noise contaminated speech signal.

(e.g. background noise, mechanical hum of equipment, fan noise, etc.)

Question 10

What is the difference between AGC and TNR?

Answer 10

1. TNR acts instantaneous whereas AGC has a 100ms attack time.
2. AGC is broadband and TNR is chennel-specific, therefore will only attenuate frequencies where the transient noise is dominant

Question 11

What types of sound might TNR enact upon if enabled?

Answer 11

Quick-onset or highly dynamic noise

(e.g. slamming doors or clanging dishes)

Question 12

It’s easy for recipients to assess various ASM settings during a routine programmign appointment

A. True

B. False

Answer 12

B. False

Recipients should use real-life environmental listening experience outside of the programming session

Question 13

What are some considerations for ASM settings with SSD/AHL recipients?

Answer 13

Most persons like to have a balanced sound between ears, therefore consider:

• What ASM 2 features is the recipient using, if any?
• Considering starting with AI ‘off’ to sound more like the contralateral ear (if normal hearing)
• Consider adding AI after the patient ahas acclimatized to the CI and has a stable map
• If wearing a HA on the contralateral ear - set ASM features similarly if known
• Every patient is different, gather feedback and adjust parameters accordingly
