16
Q

The audiogram of a mixed hearing loss shows a gap of ________, where AC threshold is _________ while BC is _________.

A

mixed; greater than 10 dB; AC and BC will be beyond normal limits

17
Q

Enumerate the configuration of hearing loss in an audiogram that are associated with presbycusis.

A

flat, gradually sloping, sharply sloping

18
Q

This configuration of hearing losss indicates better hearing at higher frequencies.

A

rising configuration

19
Q

A _________ sloping configuration shows a 16 dB increase per octave in the audiogram.

A

precipitously

20
Q

This configuration is typically seen with 20 dB or greater loss at extreme frequencies, but not on mid.

A

peaked configuration

21
Q

This configuration is typically seen with 20 dB or greater loss at mid frequencies, but not on extreme.

A

trough configuration

22
Q

The two major categories of audiological assessments.

A

subjective and objective tests

23
Q

Enumerate the subjective audiological assessments.

A

puretone audiometry
speech audiometry

24
Q

Enumerate the objective audiological assessments.

A

OAE
AABR
ABR
ASSR
Tympanometry

25
Q

Enumerate the hearing tests for children

A

newborn hearing screening
VRA/VROA
conditioned play audiometry

26
Q

This is the gold standard assessment method of determining type, degree, and configuration of hearing loss.

A

puretone audiometry

27
Q

This is the screening test for the inner, which measures the sounds given off by hair cells in response to auditory stimuli.

A

otoacoustic air emission (OAE)

28
Q

This is a test for middle ear in response to pressure changes in the ear canal.

A

tympanometry

29
Q

This assessment uses speech stimuli to assess auditory function.

A

speech audiometry

30
Q

It is an electrophysiological response to rapid auditory stimuli used to estimate hearing thresholds via specialized algorithm.

A

auditory steady state response (ASSR)

31
Q

It is the screening test to assess activity in the auditory nerve to the brain.

A

automated auditory brainstem response (AABR)

32
Q

This test is used as diagnostic procedure, which assess neural response integrity and obtain estimates of hearing thresholds.

A

auditory brainstem response (ABR)
