Q

For tonal masking which is correct? why?
High frequency tones mask low frequencies most effectively
There is no difference in masking between different frequencies
Low frequency tones mask high frequency tones most effectively

A

Low frequency tones mask high frequency tones most effectively

because high frequencies
anatomical organization (tonotopic organization) of the base with high and lows at apex makes the lows impact and infete by the travelling waves to the lows (upward spread of masking)

Q

When you increase the frequency of a pure tone, what happens to the wavelength? why

Q

If you increase the stiffness of a system, are low or high frequencies reduced more? what could be the reason

A

low frequencies are reduced and impacted more
anatomically when do we increase stiffness on purpose? muscle reflex, reduces own vocal fold vibrations reducing low and letting highs through
otosclerosis is a pathological reason

Q

If you are putting sound through a medium with more mass, which frequencies are attenuate more?

A

high frequencies are attenuated more
example of putting sound through with mass? bone oscillator so it is harder to move the mass through the head because it is easier to push through air
lows get through better with vibration and highs do not
mask = harder to hear high frequencies

Q

how does transient distortion and spectral link to OAE testing?

A

TEOAEs use a click or short transient stimuli but results are analyzed by filters in the computer (fast foya analysis ) and puts it back into frequencies
click gave us spectral splatter and
need it to get frequency information from transient emissions

Q

which one is harder from processing?
diotic vs dichotic

A

dichotic because you are getting different signals and stresses the signal because the brain tries to do binaural fusion
used for central auditory processing to make testing harder with this

Q

Who might be considered the first audiologist? They wrote the seminal article on testing hearing with tones in 1920 and wrote the Clinical Audiometry book in 1943.

A

CC bunch
cordia c bunch

36
Q

Describe the Modified Hughson-Westlake procedure.
What is an adaptive psychoacoustic procedure?

A

when procedure changes based on the PT’s response

down 10 up 5

ascending method, if they hear it we go down 10 and if they dont hear it we go up 5 etc.

PT’s prior response is what dictates the direction you go - why it is an adaptive procedure

37
Q

What is an example of a motor speech disorder?

A

apraxia
dysarthria

38
Q

How would you describe prelingual hearing loss and its impact on speech and language development?

A

develop hearing loss before they develop speech and language
lost hearing before learning language so they are at a disadvantage and a poorer prognosis and longer rehabilitation process

39
Q

How would you describe post-lingual hearing loss and its impact on speech and language development?

A

hearing loss occurs after they develop speech and language
have a foundation and auditory memory in a child or adult

40
Q

can post lingual affect s/l even if amplified right away from their deafness?

A

sometimes

41
Q

Does unilateral hearing loss impact a child (in school, home, etc)?

A

localizing
hearing in noise

both can have an impact in the school where they have academic difficulties and they may be more prone of having to repeat a grade

42
Q

when you speak, hear yourself, and correct yourself if needed

A

auditory feedback loop

43
Q

What is typically the reading level achieved by a deaf child using hearing aids?

A

4th grade level

44
Q

what can be done for unilateral cchildren in the classroom

A

preferential seating, place in front of the class
personal remote mic technology

45
Q

historically what has been the typical reading level of a deaf child using hearing aids in a mainstream classroom or that attends a deaf school?

A

4TH grade

46
Q

what is the national average reading level

A

7 or 8th grade in the US

47
Q

What is narrative sampling?

A

narrative lets them more naturally speak by reading a passage or an open ended question and letting them talk and taking a sample of how they did

taking sample of their dialoge and ability to speak

48
Q

What is dynamic assessment?

A

involves doing a task you asses, you train them how to do, reassess
their potential to improve something

49
Q

when might be narrative sampling and dynamic assessment be helpful?

A

to get a baseline
standardized tsts are validated with subjects who are english speaking and their first language so this type of test may not be valid for someone who isn’t

these are useful

50
Q

if you have a PT who is spanish speaking and you do not speak spanish?

A

get an interpreter
find test in that language
refer to someone who speaks the language

51
Q

Describe:
Place of articulation
Voicing
Manner of articulation

A

where it constricts in the vocal tract
where were articulators at to make the sound?
labial, dental, palatal, velar, glottal

if vf vibrate or not
voiced or voiceless

how the sound is made, how it is flowing
fricative, affricate, nasal, glide, stop

52
Q

Describe:
Broca’s aphasia
Vs
Wernicke’s aphasia

A

frontal lobe damage

temporal lobe damage

these affect how the sounds are made but not motor it is a neurological disorder because it is the brain pathway that is damage for these

What is Osteopathic Medicine?

A

An osteopathic physician (DO) is a doctor with full medical privileges that can utilize all forms of standard medical and surgical treatments, as well as osteopathic manipulation and alternative medicine.

57
Q

Osteopathic Philosophy4 Fundamental Principles

A

The human body is a dynamic unit of function of mind, body, and spirit.
The body possesses self-regulatory mechanisms which are self healing in nature.
Structure and function are interrelated at all levels.
Rational treatment is based on these principles.

58
Q

Rational treatment is based on an understanding of the basic principles of body unity, self-regulation, and the interrelationship between structure and function… NOT JUST TREATING SYMPTOMS.

A

true

civil law about causing damage to a person or property

civil wrong against a person or property
may result in action for damages

civil wrong, other than a breach of
contract, committed against a person or
property for which a court provides a remedy
in the form of an action for damages.

61
Q

what are the objectives of tort law

A

Preservation of peace
– Culpability (find fault for wrongdoing)
– Deterrence (discourage wrong doer from
committing future torts)
– Compensation (indemnify the injured person of
wrongdoing)

62

set standards and actions that are acceptable within our profession
