CSD 444 Exam Questions and
Answers 100% PASS
True/False: Speech awareness testing (SAT) requires the client to repeat back the
stimulus word(s). - CORRECT ANSWER-False
True/False: The speech recognition threshold (SRT) is always lower (i.e., poorer)
than the speech detection threshold (SDT). - CORRECT ANSWER-False
Dynamic range is determined by the difference in dB between the client's -
CORRECT ANSWER-Uncomfortable loudness level (UCL) and speech
recognition threshold (SRT).
Which of the following is a purpose for determining a client's speech recognition
threshold (SRT)? - CORRECT ANSWER-To cross-check with the client's pure-
tone average (PTA).
The speech recognition threshold (SRT) may be higher (i.e., "better") than their
pure-tone average (PTA) when: - CORRECT ANSWER-the client presents with a
precipitously sloping hearing loss.
True/False: Speech detection threshold (SDT) testing may be useful for young
children and other clients who may be unable to repeat the stimulus word(s) back
, (e.g., due to developmental delay, second language learning, etc.). - CORRECT
ANSWER-True
Which of the following stimuli are typically used with speech recognition threshold
(SRT) testing? - CORRECT ANSWER-spondaic words (spondees)
Which of the following audiometric frequencies are used to calculate a client's
pure-tone average (PTA)? - CORRECT ANSWER-500, 1000, and 2000 Hz
Which test materials provide more flexibility in delivering stimuli and take less time
for performing speech audiometry? - CORRECT ANSWER-Live voice
The following tympanogram pattern demonstrates a pressure peak within normal
limits but a high (deep) degree of compliance, indicating excessive movement
(hypermobility) of the tympanic membrane. This Type Ad tympanogram is
associated with which of the following middle-ear issues? - CORRECT ANSWER-
Ossicular disarticulation
Select all potential situations for which a client with hearing loss could benefit
from hearing assistive technologies (HATS): - CORRECT ANSWER-when using
the phone, listening to a classroom lecture, while attending a workplace meeting,
watching a movie, for alerts and warnings, while attending a theater performance
