Q

What type of noise do we use during masking?

A

Narrow band

17
Q

Width of noise necessary same as white noise

A

Critical band

18
Q

noise we use for masking is at least __ critical band width-wide

19
Q

What method do we use for masking?

20
Q

Results come from non-test ear; not enough masking

A

Undermasking

21
Q

Effective masking

22
Q

Too much noise that it’s making it to the test ear

A

Overmasking

23
Q

We present masking in the non-test ear at __ dB above the non-test ear AC threshold

24
Q

What are other terms for immittance audiometry?

A

Tympanometry, acoustic admittance, impedance audiometry

25
Tests how well the conductive system moves
Immittance audiometry
26
Puffing air into the ear canal to see if the tympanic membrane moves
Pneumatic otoscopy
27
Net opposition of flow of energy
Impedance
28
What 2 things create impedance?
Resistance, Mass reactance and stiffness
29
How do we measure compliance?
Place sound source at ear to see if tympanic membrane moves
30
What does it mean when there is a lot of sound reflecting back from the tympanic membrane?
High stiffness, high impedance, less compliant ear is
