An audiologist fit a young woman with Correct Answer: E
binaural digital behind-the-ear hearing Option (E) is correct. Expansion reduces the gain of
aids three weeks ago. The patient low-level ambient sounds.
reports that the devices have provided
suitable amplification in most
environments, but she complains that
low-level ambient noise has been
distracting.
In an effort to reduce the adverse
noise effect, what adjustment might
the audiologist make to the hearing
aids?
A.Increasing the threshold kneepoint
B.Decreasing the threshold kneepoint
C.Enabling wide dynamic range
compression
D.Decreasing the gain in all frequency
bands
E.Enabling expansion
