GA Hearing Aid Dispenser Audiogram Test 2026–
2027 | Georgia Licensing Exam Practice & Study
Guide
Normal hearing thresholds - correct answers -0-20 dB
Mild hearing loss thresholds - correct answers -21- 40 dB
Moderate hearing loss thresholds - correct answers -41-55 dB
Moderate to severe hearing loss thresholds - correct answers -56-70 dB
Severe hearing loss thresholds - correct answers -71 - 90 dB
Pround hearing loss thresholds - correct answers -91+ dB
conductive loss - correct answers -Hearing loss that results from damage to or dysfunction of the outer
ear or middle ear system.
Otitis media - correct answers -An infection of the ear and media refers specifically to the middle ear. It
is most common in younger children but can develop in people of all ages.
1
, Otosclerosis - correct answers -An abnormal bony growth on the ossicles, particularly involving the
footplate of the stapes, that causes hearing loss. Vertigo or dizziness may also be reported.
Sensorineural hearing loss - correct answers -hearing loss that results in solely from damage to the
cochlea and/or auditory neurons without any involvement of the middle ear system. Impacts the high
frequencies.
Presbycusis hearing loss - correct answers -age-related hearing loss usually in the high frequencies.
Ototoxicity - correct answers -Drugs that are poisonous to the inner ear that are called ototoxic.
Typically bilaterally symmetrical and sensorineural.
Noise induced hearing loss - correct answers -Hearing loss or impairment resulting from exposure to
loud sound. The typical audiometric signature of NIHL is a sharp sensory/neural threshold elevation
between 3K and 6K Hz with some threshold improvement at 8K Hz. The greatest hearing loss is typically
at 4k.
Meniere's disease - correct answers -A disorder of the inner ear caused by a build-up of fluid, which
causes vertigo (dizziness), hearing loss, tinnitus (ringing in the ear), pain, or pressure. Often worse in the
low frequencies. It is caused by increased volume and pressure of the endolymphatic fluid in the inner
ear.
X- axis of audiogram is measured in _________. - correct answers -dB
Y-Axis of audiogram is measured in ___________. - correct answers -Hz (frequency)
Unmasked air conduction symbol for the right ear - correct answers -O
