complementary interrelated overlapping

Question 12

Nonbehavioral tests

Answer 12

assessments that measure physiological resposes to sound

Question 13

Audiological assessment can involve

Answer 13

nonbehavioral & behavioral testing

Question 14

Behavioral tests

Answer 14

Assess patients’ conscious responses to auditory stimuli

Question 15

Audiometer

Answer 15

used by audiologists to measure hearing sensitivity (softest sounds pt can hear)

Question 16

Cross-check principle

Answer 16

when audiologist confirm behavioral assessments with nonbehavioral results

Question 17

Screening

Answer 17

a short testing process that serves to distinguish persons who may have a condition, that needs further evaluation from those who don’t need it

Question 18

Test positive means

Answer 18

fail screening

Question 19

Diagnostic Eval

Answer 19

A complete evaluation that involves a recognized “gold standard” test to confirm the type, degree, and configuration of HL

Question 20

pure-tone stimuli

Answer 20

The sounds of varying frequencies and hearing levels that the audiologist presents to the pt in the sound-treated booth

Question 21

Air-conduction stimuli travel through

Answer 21

air to outer ear, middle ear, and inner ear

Question 22

Bone-conduction stimuli stimulate

Answer 22

directly the inner ear (bypass the outer & middle ears) through vibration of the bones of the skull

Question 23

Inner ear

Answer 23

sensorineural mechanism

Question 24

outer and middle ears

Answer 24

conductive mechanism

Question 25

Pure-tones are transmitted via loudspeakers

Answer 25

air conduction

Question 26

pure-tones are transmitted through bone oscillator placed on the mastoid bone behind the ear or on the forehead

Answer 26

bone conduction

Question 27

pure-tone threshold

Answer 27

the softest pure tone that a patient can detect 50% of the time

Question 28

pure-tone thresholds are measured in

Answer 28

at various frequencies in Hz (indicate pitch)

Question 29

Octave frequencies assessed for air conduction

Answer 29

250-8000Hz

Question 30

Octave frequencies assessed for bone conduction

Answer 30

250-4000Hz

Question 31

audiogram

Answer 31

graph used to document the results of a audiologic evaluation

Question 32

Horizontal axis of audiogram

Answer 32

represents frequency

Question 33

vertical axis of audiogram

Answer 33

represents hearing level measured in decibels (dB)

Question 34

Masking

Answer 34

a procedure used by audiologists to ensure that the non-test ear does not participate

Question 35

VRA stands for

Answer 35

Visual Reinforcement audiometry

Question 36

Visual Reinforcement Audiometry

Answer 36

testing paradigm for children 6 mo- 2yrs, uses animated toys hidden behind smoked Plexiglass on top of the loudspeakers. C -Children rewarded for head-turn response, regardless of whether child localizes to the correct side or loudspeaker

Question 37

Conditioned oriented response

Answer 37

similiar to VRA but requires localization to correct side/loudspeaker for reinforcement (also appropriate for 6mo-2yrs of age)

Question 38

Play audiometry

Answer 38

testing paradigm for age 2-5 years, co nditioned to complete a repetitive, motoric task to indicate detection of an auditory stimulus (ex: dropping blocks in bucket)

Question 39

Range in dB HL for Normal hearing

Answer 39

-10 to 15 dB HL

Question 40

Ability to understand speech in -10dB to 15DB HL

Answer 40

No difficulty understanding faint or distant speech

Question 41

Minimal degree of HL: Range in dB HL

Answer 41

16 to 25 dB HL

Question 42

Ability to understand speech in 16 to 25 dB HL

Answer 42

May have difficulty hearing faint or distant speech

Question 43

Mild HL range in dB HL

Answer 43

26 to 40 dB HL

Question 44

Ability to understand speech in mild HL

Answer 44

can "Hear" speech, but misses pieces of words causing misunderstanding

Question 45

Moderate HL range in dB HL

Answer 45

41 to 55 dB HL

Question 46

Ability to understand speech in Moderate HL

Answer 46

May understand familiar conversational speech at a distance of 3-5 ft

Question 47

Moderately Severe HL range in dB HL

Answer 47

56 to 70 dB HL

Question 48

Ability to understand speech in moderately severe

Answer 48

Question 51

Speech understanding in Profound HL

Answer 51

Not able to use hearing for communicatio

Question 52

Range in dB HL in Profound HL

Answer 52

91 dB HL and greater

Question 54

Answer 54

Modderate to profound Mixed Hearing loss (sensorineural & conductive HL), Ex etiology: noise exposure & perforated ear drum

Question 55

Answer 55

Mild conductive hearing loss in both ears. (bone conduction thresholds are normal, but air conduction thresholds indicate HL). Means cochlea is normal, but there is some blockage to sound in the middle or outer ears. Ex etiology: Otitis media (ear infection)
