Q

What is the PI-PB function?

A

Speech recognition performance depends on the intensity of the speech stimulus

Phonetically and Phonemically balanced words are used

T/F: In general, with WRS testing, the presentation level is positively correlated with performance

A

True

43
Q

T/F: In general, with WRS testing, presentation level has no significant impact on performance

A

False

44
Q

What is PB-max?

A

Highest WRS a person can achieve across all possible presentation levels

45
Q

Suppose Mr. A had a WRS of 80% in the RE and 60% in the LE. Based on Katz table, the difference is ____________

A

5 dB below the patient’s UCL
