Q

what is ABR testing used for?

A

to predict hearing SENSITIVITY in young infants, or in children or adults who are DIFFICULT to test

31
Q

what is the primary waveform used for ABR testing?

A

Wave V

32
Q

what does wave V do?

A

arises from the inferior colliculus

33
Q

in ABR testing, wave I does what?

A

arises from the COCHLEAR portion of the auditory nerve before it enters the brainstem

34
Q

in ABR testing, wave II does what?

A

it is generated by the BRAINSTEM segment of the auditory nerve and the cochlear nucleus

35
Q

in ABR testing, wave III does what?

A

arises mostly from the SUPERIOR OLIVARY COMPLEX

36
Q

in ABR testing, wave IV does what?

A

originated from ascending fibers in the LATERAL LEMMINISCUS just below the inferior colliculus

37
Q

in ABR testing, wave V does what?

A

arises from the INFERIOR COLLICULUS

38
Q

what is the most common clinical application of OAEs?

A

universal screening of newborn hearing

39
Q

what are phonetically balanced (PB) word lists used for?

A

speech testing for supra threshold speech recognition

40
Q

phonetic composition of all lists are what?

A

equivalent and are representative of everyday ENGLISH speech. single syllable

41
Q

in closed set lists (multiple choice) the phonetically balanced choices will vary by what?

A

only one speech sound ex: rain-pain, him-hit

42
Q

a 10 dB air-bone gap at 2 or more frequencies indicates what?

A

a conductive loss, even if hearing thresholds are in the NORMAL range and requires a MEDICAL referral

43
Q

standard audiometric test battery tests what 3 things?

A

pure tone air and bone conduction testing, speech audiometry, and imminence testing (tympanometry)

44
Q

what measuring auditory function what is essential?

A

test battery approach because it shows the best information

45
Q

what is auditory processing disorder? (APD)

A

the dysfunction in the auditory portions of the CNS

46
Q

who coordinates and supervises hearing screening programs?

A

professionals trained in audiology

47
Q

who are the personnel designated to conduct the screening tests in speech and hearing, and even volunteers and and secretaries

A

nurses, audiologists, speech-language pathologists and graduate students

48
Q

what are the two tests most commonly used in the USA?

A

otoacoustic emission (OAEs) and auditory brainstem response (ABRs)

49
Q

why do we screen newborns for hearing loss?

A

children who receive EARLY INTERVENTION from the age of 3 years or younger show significantly better SPEECH AND LANGUAGE outcomes later in life

ASHA recommendations for screening for middle ear disease include:

A

case history, visual inspection of ear canal and eardrum, and tympanometry with a low frequency probe tone
