I don't know

Question 1

Tactile responses

Answer 1

When patient feels stimulus instead of hearing it (low frequencies, high intensities, bone conductor)

Question 2

pseudohypacusis

Answer 2

Diverse collection of patients with false or exaggerated hearing loss

Question 3

Nonorganic hearing loss

Answer 3

This phrase implies that there is no anatomical or physiological abnormality in the auditory system

Question 4

Functional hearing loss

Answer 4

Suggests abnormal hearing tests with no apparent physiological or anatomical basis

Question 5

Malingering

Answer 5

Malingerer is assumed to be intentionally and deliberately producing flase hearing test results, often for personal monetary gain

Question 6

Stenger test

Answer 6

Used on patients with unilateral hearing loss. Good for catching malingerers.

Question 7

Speech materials

Answer 7

Various speech stimuli used in speech audiometry

Question 8

What controls the intensity level of the speech signal?

Answer 8

Hearing level dial

Question 9

What controls the intesity of the speech materials for each channel?

Answer 9

Monitor Ch1 and Monitor Ch2

Question 10

Calibration knob

Answer 10

Used to make small adjustments in the intensity of the speech signals during the calibration process to assure accuracy of the speech signal to the patient

Question 11

What is the intensity level that a patient perceives as comfortable to listen to?

Answer 11

Most comfortable level

Question 12

What is the intensity level at which sound becomes uncomfortable or causes discomfort?

Answer 12

Loudness discomfort level

Question 13

Carrier phrase

Answer 13

A short phrase, usually three words, that comes before the presentation of each word

Question 14

Open-set response test

Answer 14

Patient has no advance notice about which word they are about to hear

Question 15

Closed-set response test

Answer 15

The patient responds to a test word within a limited collection of possible words

Question 16

signal-to-noise ratio

Answer 16

The relation between the intensity level of the words and the intensity level of the background sound

Question 17

multi-talker babble

Answer 17

A recording of actual environmental noise with many people talking in the background where it is impossible to follow any of the conversations

Question 18

The cocktail party effect

Answer 18

Background noise is present in a small group of speakers but with some effort a normal-hearing listener can understand what each speaker is saying

Question 19

articulation index

Answer 19

used to describe the amount of speech that is audible

Question 20

initial masking

Answer 20

the minimum level of masking noise necessary to produce a 5 dB shift or increase in air conduction thresholds in the non-test ear

Question 21

effective masking

Answer 21

the amount of noise that definitely makes a specific signal such as a pure tone inaudible to the non-test ear

Question 22

minimum masking

Answer 22

the lowest noise level that just masks a pure tone or speech signal of a certain intensity level

Question 23

Maximum masking

Answer 23

The highest level of masking noise that should be presented to the non-test ear

Question 24

Under-masking

Answer 24

The intensity level of masking noise is too low and the non-test ear may still contribute to the patient’s response

Question 25

Over masking

Answer 25

Crossover of masking noise from the non-test ear to the test ear

Question 26

occlusion effect

Answer 26

an enhancement or improvement in bone-conduction hearing for lower frequency sounds

Question 27

White noise or broadband noise

Answer 27

Contains approximately equal amounts of acoustic energy over a broad range of frequencies

Question 28

Narrow band noise

Answer 28

Sound energy within a critical band of noise that is centered at a pure tone frequency. Ideal for pure tone testing

Question 29

Speech noise

Answer 29

Consists of a broad band of noise with relatively greater energy in the speech frequencies

Question 30

What are the possible formats of an audiological report?

Answer 30

Freeform, templates

Question 31

What does CCs stand for?

Answer 31

Carbon copy

Question 32

What does SOAP note stand for?

Answer 32

Subjective, objective, assessment, plan

Question 33

Chart note

Answer 33

Used for brief summary of appointment, typically used for followup appointments

Question 34

When does the development of the auditory system occur?

Answer 34

3rd to 37th gestational week
