Q

T-coil; induction coil often in a hearing aid that receives electromagnetic signals from a telephone or a loop amplification system

A

Telecoil

22
Q

Strategies for fitting hearing aids by using a formula to calculate the desired gain and frequency response

A

Prescription procedures

23
Q

A length of wire surrounding the circumference of a room or table that conducts electrical energy from an amplifier, and thus creates a magnetic field; the current flow from an induction loop can induce the tele coil in a hearing aid to providing amplified sound to the user

A

Induction loop system

24
Q

A basic auditory skill level in which the listener is able to tell whether two sounds are different or the same

A

Sound discrimination

25
Q

Physically measurable; in speechreading or auditory training, leads to a measurable result, expected within a particular time persil and/or after a particular lesson, the accomplishment of which represents a milestone toward achieving the corresponding goal

A

Objective

26
Q

In auditory training a higher level of auditory skill development characterized by an ability to understand spoken message

A

Comprehension

27
Q

Speech recognition using auditory and visual cues

A

Speech reading

28
Q

The results toward which training or instruction is directed; it is the desired aim or outcome

A

Goal

29
Q

In reference to auditory or speechreading training, the ability to label auditory or audiovisual stimuli

A

Identification

30
Q

Groups of speech sounds that appear identical on the lips; for example, /p, m, b/

A

31
Q

Term used to refer to the physiological changes in the central nervous system that occur as a result of sensory experiences

33
Q

The process of recognizing speech using only the visual speech signal and other visual cues, such as facial expression

A

34
Q

Speechreading or auditory training that emphasizes the understanding of meaning and not necessarily the identification and comprehension of every word spoken in an utterance

A

Synthatic training

35
Q

Speechreading or auditory training that focuses the student’s attention on individual speech units

A

Analytic training

36
Q

What is speech that is spoken in a moderately loud conversational level, and is characterized by precise but not exaggerated articulation, pauses at appropriate linguistic boundaries, and somewhat slowed speaking rate; often used to increase the message recognition of listeners with hearing loss?

A

37
Q

A measure indicating how often a particular word occurs during everyday conversation; sometimes referred to as frequency of occurrence

A

Frequency of Usage

Q

A strategy used to facilitate communication; includes means taken to intruct the talker, structure the listening environment, enhancing the structure of the received message, and affect the speech recognition performance of the individual using the strategy

A

Facilitative Strategy

39
Q

Inappropriate behavioral mechanisms for coping with the difficulties caused in conversation by hearing loss, such as avoidance behavior; they often yield short term benefit in exchange for long term consequences

A

Maladaptive Strategies

40
