Kahoot Review Questions Flashcards
What type of transducer is recommended for ABR testing?
Insert earphones
With this kind of polarity, the TM is displaced laterally
Rarefaction
The SNRAVG is determined by input signal amplitude/output signal amplitude times what?
Square root of # of averages
Majority of frequency energy in cortical response is below:
15 Hz
An 8-bit A/D converter has an amplitude resolution of how many points?
256
60-Hz line noise would correspond to what period?
17 ms
Increasing the # of averages has what effect on the response?
Increases the SNR
An increase in rate corresponds to what increase in latency in normal ears?
0.1 ms/10 Hz
The use of this polarity may result in earlier Wave V latencies
Rarefaction
With a 25k sampling rate, a conversion is made every 40 microsec and is known as the
dwell time

40 Hz
ASSR is different from the ABR in all but the following ways:
ASSR requires neural synchrony
What is a disadvantage of ASSR?
Good predictor of normal hearing thresholds
What can be done to prevent adaptation?
Use an amplitude-modulated tone

Carrier frequency
ASSR uses an automatic detection algorithm to evaluate frequency strength and…
Phase coherence
What is the appropriate modulation rate for evaluating the cortex?
20 Hz
Which ASSR rate is not affected by sleep state?
80 Hz
What statistic is used to determine if the power of the response> EEG noise?
F-test
At what age is the ASSR more easily detected?
3 weeks
What is a risk factor for hearing loss?
An Apgar score of 0-6 at 5 minutes

Young female
Under what circumstance would you find peak latencies equally shifted across intensity levels?
Conductive hearing loss
