Q

what are the three key factors for validity

A

test will measure what its supposed to
how well a test will compare to similar tests
how tests stands up to alterations of signal that are known to affect other speech test in specific ways

Q

When testing comfortable loudness level what do we turn it up to

A

40db

21
Q

what are the two types of word lists

A

Phonetically balanced word lists(W22) and Consonant nucleus consonant word list(NU-6)

22
Q

what are somethings about the Phonetically balanced word lists

A

phonetically balanced
not completely valid
took 200 words and made it into 4 lists

23
Q

What are something about Consanant nucleus consonant word lists NU-6

A
CVC
monosyllabic
4 list of 50
not phonetically balanced
more valid reliable
24
Q

can you mask for speech

A

yes

25
Q

what is narrow band noise

A

noise for nontest ear for masking

26
Q

when producing low pitches what do we add to accomidate to occlusion effect

A

15db

27
Q

what is he scale we test for interpreting speech

A
90-100 excellent
80-89 good
70-79 fair 
60-69 poor
59 and below very poor
28
Q

what is the purpose for masking

A

prevent cross hearing

29
Q

What is Interaural attenuation (IA)

A

same as cross hearing. Headphones on testing left leaks out and other ear better that can hear it. 40 db

30
Q

What are Insert headphones db

A

70db

31
Q

what method is used with the platoe

A

hoods

32
Q

what are the symbols used for masking

A

mask air right Tringle
mask bone right [
Mask air left square
mask bone left ]

33
Q

what is bone cnduction

A

platoe method

look at bone scores of non test ear

34
Q

what is tympanometry

A

measure outter and inner ear pressure

35
Q

too much fluid movement

A

can break ossicals

36
Q

when fluid doesn’t move

A

cause blockage

37
Q

what are the four components in the ear

A

ear canal volume
ear canal pressure
static compliance
width

38
Q

what two muscles contract with acoustic reflex

A

stapedius and tensor tympani

39
Q

what are the five results o fa tympanigram

A
Type A
Type As(swallow)
Type Ad(deep)
Type B
Type C
look at pics on paper too
