INTRO TO AUDIOLOGY EXAM 2 UPDATED ACTUAL
QUESTIONS WITH CORRECT ANSWERS
Question 1.
which image gives these audiogram characteristics: Ear: Left, Unilateral
Type: no hearing loss in left Degree: AC normal, BC unknown
Configuration: Flat
ANSWER
Question 2.
What is SRS?
ANSWER
Speech-Recognition Score
Question 3.
which image gives these audiogram characteristics: Ear: Right, unilateral
Type: Sensorineural
Degree: Moderately severe to normal
Configuration: Rising
ANSWER
,Question 4.
Why/When do we use masking?
ANSWER
When we suspect there is cross hearing!
It is sometimes required during audiological assessment so that the non-test ear (NTE) cannot
help out when evaluating the test ear (TE)
When we mask, we deliver a noise to the non-test ear to raise its threshold - this eliminates it
from the test
- narrowband is the most effective masking signal for pure tones
Question 5.
which image gives these audiogram characteristics: Ear: Left, Unilateral
Type: Mixed
Degree: Moderately severe to profound
Configuration: Sloping
ANSWER
Question 6.
when finding sensation level you
ANSWER
subtract dB HL and SRT
, Question 7.
What types of test materials are used during testing (SRT - speech recognition threshold & SDT -
speech detection threshold)
ANSWER
SRT Using a Spondee word list-Spondaic words: words with two syllables, both pronounced
with equal stress and effort.Ex) baseball, hot dog, toothbrush, ice cream
SDT Using sentences or words
Question 8.
What are the benefits
of insert headphones over supra-aural headphones?
ANSWER
- preferred for comfort
- better infection control
- less need for masking
- avoidance of ear canal collapse
increased attenuation of background noise
Question 9.
testing for speech discrimination
ANSWER
SRT dB HL + dB SL = Presentation Level dB HL
Question 10.
What is DR?
ANSWER
Dynamic Range is the difference between an individual's threshold measure and UCL
Question 11.
What is interaural attenuation?
ANSWER
The amount of energy that is lost in transmission as sound travels from one side of the head to
the other.
