Q

Why is it important to do a review of systems?

A

Entire systemic process interacts with the auditory system
Hearing loss and related issues increase with age due to several comorbidities
Used to anticipate the progression of loss

Q

What information does an audiogram supply?

A

A measure of an individuals ability to detect quiet tones when using headphones
Not predictive of communication difficulties

17
Q

Does an over-reliance of the audiogram result in counseling miscommunications?

A

Yes
This overall reduces satisfaction ratings

18
Q

Is pure tone threshold loss a good indicator of activity limitations?

A

No, only moderate

19
Q

Are pure tone thresholds a good indicator of participation restriction?

A

No, poor indicator

20
Q

Do we over-rely on speech audiometry scores?

A

Yes, often leads to inaccurate assumptions of intelligibility and disconnected counseling

21
Q

Does lack of adherence to standard protocols lead to inaccurate diagnostic interpretation?

A

Yes
Only using 25 word list
Need to follow the test instructions for valid results
If you only do 25 words, look for other diagnostic tests to do along with it

22
Q

Can you accurately classify word recognition findings if the presentation level didn’t supply audibility at 2 kHz?

23
Q

Will a lack in audibility due to severe losses always result in a lower PB word rec score (even when aided)?

A

Yes
May not be able to understand every speech sound due to severity of hearing loss
Not able to amplify all of the sounds enough to be audible

24
Q

Does word rec have predictive value of hearing aid benefit?

25
What information do PB words presented in quiet does not supply?
An individual’s ability to use lip-reading and facial expression cues An individual’s ability to use contextual cues An individual’s performance in complex listening environments
26
What can be added to test battery to simulate realistic listening environments?
Add binaural speech assessments Use sentence-based stimuli (provides more information and context) Assesses performance with and without visual cues Assess speech intelligibility in the sound field at 50-60 dB HL to simulate normal conversational levels
27
What is a functional limitation?
Diagnosis of a disorder A problem in body function or structure
28
What is an activity limitation?
Relates to the difficulties experiences when executing a task or action
29
What is participation restriction?
Involvement in activities an individual would like to participate in
30
What is ICF classification?
International classification of functioning, disability, and health Language to focus on health and functioning and get away from the perspective that “disability” is always the result of failing health
31
Can increased participation improve activity limitations?
Yes
32
Can degree and configuration of threshold loss predict activity limitations and participation restrictions?
No
33
What are backward synergies?
Treatment resulting in increased participation supplies communication practice and experiences which may result in neural changes to improve activity limitations
34
What can increased participation result in?
Improved auditory processing Improved lip reading skills Improved auditory closure skills
35
What are some activity limitations?
Detection of sounds Distinction (discrimination) of sounds (i.e., frequency resolution) Intelligibility in quiet Intelligibility in noise Auditory localization Temporal resolution abilities Spatial hearing abilities
36
What is the speech intelligibility index?
Calculates the percentage of speech information that is audible and usable to the listener SII of 0.50 means that 50% of speech cues supporting intelligibility are audible in a quiet setting
37
Are the dots on the SII chart weighted?
Yes, more dots in the high frequencies because there is more speech information in those frequencies that supports speech intelligibility
38
Is the SII just a predictive value of speech intelligibility?
Yes
39
Do patients need to hear all of the speech signals to understand what is being said?
No
40
What are some uses of SII?
Reduces counseling mismatch Helps audiologist determine amplification candidacy (aided benefit vs unaided) Show objective audibility improvements Aided SII comparisons allows you to see if one style, or brand of device supplies more audibility
41
What are some diagnostic functional assessments?
Comprehensive case history including an assessment of comorbidities (review of systems) A comprehensive audiometric evaluation, including TEN test
42
What are some communication needs assessments?
Objective assessments (SIN assessment, acceptable noise level assessment, pure tone LDL) Subjective assessments (self-report questionnaires) Non-auditory needs assessment
