Test 3

Question 1

Cochlear implant parts

Answer 1

BTE processor with mic

External magnet

Internal magnet

22 electrode array

Question 2

Cochlea

Answer 2

Tonitopic - frequency specific

Basal part processes higher frequencies

Apical part processes lower frequencies

Question 3

Person that would use hybrid CI

Answer 3

Good low frequency hearing b/c electrode array is shorter to keep function of low frequency hearing

Question 4

Standard/traditional CI

Answer 4

Person only receives electrical signals in that ear

Canal is open

Question 5

Hybrid CI

Answer 5

Uses shorter array and BTE HA to amplify lower frequencies

Ear canal has HA

Question 6

CI applications

Answer 6

Monaural

Binaural

Bimodal

Hybrid

Question 7

Monaural CI application

Answer 7

One cochlear implant on one ear

Question 8

Binaural CI application

Answer 8

Two cochlear implants, one on each side

Helps to restore binaural advantages

Question 9

Bimodal CI application

Answer 9

CI on one side and HA on other side

Shown to be better than binaural

Question 10

Hybrid CI application

Answer 10

CI with HA and shorter electrode array to preserve lower frequency hearing

Also considered bimodal but all on one side

Question 11

CI mapping

Answer 11

Adjusting the power of the electrodes

Match electrode mapping to production of phonemes based on speech acoustics

Slushy fricatives - increase signal to high frequency electrodes

Question 12

Ling 6 sound test

Answer 12

First used as detection task, then identification

Checks that entire auditory system is working

Question 13

Ling sounds

Answer 13

/m/

/oo/

/ee/

/ah/

/sh/

/S/

Sounds are at the extremes of speech acoustics

Question 14

LSLS

Answer 14

Listening and spoken language specialists

Certification as: auditory verbal therapists or auditory verbal educators

Question 15

First 5 AVT principles

Answer 15

Early detection, identification, and diagnosis of HL

Providing earliest and appropriate use of medical/amplification tech

Integrate listening and maximal acoustic stimulation w/o visual cues

Use parents as primary models for spoken lang

Self-monitoring by child

Question 16

Second 5 AVT principles

Answer 16

Use natural sequential patterns of auditory, perceptual, linguistic, and cognitive stimulation for emerging speech language and listening

Guide and coach parents for supportive environments

Guide/coach parents for child to self monitor

Ongoing evaluations and prognoses of listening skills

Mainstreaming and integration

Question 17

Chronological age

Answer 17

Begins at birth

Question 18

Cochlear age

Answer 18

Begins when implant is activated

Used as a tool for speech/Lang expectations

Question 19

First audition goal and activities

Answer 19

Detect/identify ling sounds

Fish in fish bowl

Seeds in flower pot

Animals in sand

Cars down ramp

Question 20

Second audition goal and activities

Answer 20

Identify/imitate approximations of learning to listen sounds

Scavenger hunt

Grab bag/surprise box

Guessing game with cups

Question 21

Third audition goal and activities

Answer 21

Follow directions by recalling 3 critical elements

Barrier game

Coloring

Build a castle

Question 22

Auditory training

Answer 22

Any exercise where you’re trying to get child more reliant on auditory system

Question 23

Child CI candidacy

Answer 23

12-24 months old

Bilateral profound sensorineural HL

Demonstrate little benefit from binaural HA

Question 24

Adult CI candidacy

Answer 24

No age limit

Degree of loss: bilateral, mod to profound sensorineural

Cognitively intact

Dizziness eval

Question 25

CI speech recognition criteria

Answer 25

Limited benefit from amplification with test scores of less than 50% sent repetition in ear to be implanted and less than 60% bilaterally or in bear aided condition

Question 26

Automatic adaptive directional microphones

Answer 26

Scan acoustic environment

Automatically adjusts program settings to 6 different scenes w/o using program button

2 Mocs allow better S/n ratio
