school hearing test Flashcards
which of the statements is true
the scope of practice for speech-language pathologists includes the following except:
hearing evaluation
which statement is false
according to ASHA a standards which of the following activities would not be within the scope of practice of a speech language pathologist
prescribing hearing aids for children and and adults with hearing loss
which of the following statements best describes the scope of practice for speech language pathologists in regards to middle ear testing?
SLPs may screen for middle ear pathology through tympanometry
when air conduction is impaired and bone conduction is normal, the interpretation is:
conductive hearing loss
pure tone test results showing a mixed type of hearing loss will indicate
impaired bone conduction and an air bone gap
at the beginning of a pure tone hearing screening, if a patient does not respond to the 40 dB cue tone, the tester should
raise the level of the tone to 60 dB
An audiogram indicating a sensorineural hearing loss will show
impaired bone conduction and no air bone gap
the air conduction pathway is the
outer ear, middle ear, inner ear, auditory nerve, and beyond
bone conduction thresholds can theoretically be worse than air conduction thresholds
false
when air conduction is impaired and bone conduction is normal, the interpretation is
conductive hearing loss
an audiogram indicating sensorineural hearing loss will show
impaired bone conduction and no air bone gap
pure tine test results showing a mixed type of hearing loss will indicate
impaired bone conduction and air bone gap
the air conduction pathway is the
outer ear, middle ear, inner ear, auditory nerve
the parts of the auditory system that are most susceptible to damage from hazardous noise levels are
the hair cells in the cochlea
performing routine visual inspection and listening checks for clients hearing devices falls under the scopes of practice of
speech language pathologist & audiologists
both of these professions
a hearing screen does not diagnose a hearing loss
true
a hearing screen identifies children at risk for hearing loss
true
problem with outer ear or middle ear
conductive hearing loss
problem with inner ear or auditory nerve
sensorineural
this type of hearing loss can be medically or surgically treated
conductive
this type of hearing loss is usually permanent
sensorineural
frequency is also referred to as
pitch
