Module 2 PP 3

Question 1

Cross-Hearing or Cross Over

the reception of the ?

Answer 1

test signal by the non test ear (either air or bone conduction)

Question 2

Cross Hearing AC:
cross hearing in air conduction testing is possible:

whenever the level of the tone of the test ear by air conduction minus the ? is equal to or higher than ?

the risk varies by ?

Answer 2

intramural attention / bone conduction threshold of nontest ear

transducer type and test frequency

Question 3

Cross Hearing (BC)
 cross hearing in bone conduction testing is possible: 

cross hearing during bone conduction testing is always a ? therefore the minimum intramural attenuation for bone conduction should ?

Answer 3

possibility/ be considered to be 0 dB

Question 4

Inter-Aural Attenuation:

the energy lost as sound is ?

Answer 4

presented to one ear travels to the non-test ear

Question 5

Masking: process of ? so that it does not ?

Answer 5

introducing sound to the non-test ear / respond to signals presented to the test ear

Question 6

effective masking:

the min. amount of masking noise needed to ?

Answer 6

mask a signal presented at a particular intensity level

Question 7

over-masking: when the masking noise presented to the non-test ear is ? and shift the threshold of the test ear ?

Answer 7

intense enough to cross to the test ear by bone conduction / beyond its true threshold

Question 8

Speech Audiometry:

includes a variety of audiometric tests performed with ?

may be performed with ?

patients may respond ?

Answer 8

speech stimuli

recorded stimuli or by monitored live voice

orally, in writing, or by pointing or other motor movement

Question 9

Speech thresholds:
SDT or SAT:
speech detection threshold or ?
-will be lower than ?

SRT:
sometimes called ? or ?
will be higher than

Answer 9

speech awareness threshold
-SRT

speech recognition threshold / speech repetition threshold
-SDT/SAT

Question 10

PTA and SRT:
comparing the PTA and the SRT can provide ?

there are exceptions for certain kinds of hearing losses such as ? but generally we expect the PTA and SRT to be within about ?

Answer 10

valuable info about the reliability of the responses

precipitously sloping losses/ 5-10 dB of agreement

Question 11

Speech Recognition score:

sometimes called ?

can be ?

may be performed in ?

may be ? or?

Answer 11

speech discrimination score, word recognition score, or word discrimination score

single monosyllabic words, nonsense syllables or sentences

quiet or in noise

open set or closed set
