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

A

1

19
Q

What method do we use for masking?

A

Plateau

20
Q

Results come from non-test ear; not enough masking

A

Undermasking

21
Q

Effective masking

A

Plateau

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

A

10

24
Q

What are other terms for immittance audiometry?

A

Tympanometry, acoustic admittance, impedance audiometry

25
Q

Tests how well the conductive system moves

A

Immittance audiometry

26
Q

Puffing air into the ear canal to see if the tympanic membrane moves

A

Pneumatic otoscopy

27
Q

Net opposition of flow of energy

A

Impedance

28
Q

What 2 things create impedance?

A

Resistance, Mass reactance and stiffness

29
Q

How do we measure compliance?

A

Place sound source at ear to see if tympanic membrane moves

30
Q

What does it mean when there is a lot of sound reflecting back from the tympanic membrane?

A

High stiffness, high impedance, less compliant ear is
