What can you map on an audiogram of familiar sounds? - 🧠 ANSWER
✔✔You can map hearing loss configurations in relation to sounds you here
often
What was found when researchers used a 1000 HZ high-pass and low-
pass filter to evaluate speech energy and speech intelligibility? - 🧠
ANSWER ✔✔- 95% of speech (acoustic) energy occurs below 1000 HZ
- 25% of speech was intelligible when it is sloping (most common on
audiograms)
- 90% of speech was intelligible when it is rising up to 1000 Hz
Common errors in sloping high-frequency hearing loss - 🧠 ANSWER
✔✔There are more errors with consonants than vowels because people
with hearing loss can work around formant frequencies and voiceless
consonants don't have voice bars

, What does conductive hearing loss sound like? - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔It sounds
muffled, like plugging your ears; becomes undistorted once the stimulus is
2
loud enough
What does sensorineural hearing loss sound like? - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔It
sounds like a speaker is mumbling because the cochlea cannot
differentiate frequencies, there is distortion even when stimulus is loud
enough (raising level makes it worse)
What does mixed hearing loss sound like? - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔The degree of
distortion is related to the amount of cochlear hearing loss, the distortion
stays the same even with conductive component
Why do we use speech audiometry? - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔- attempt to
represent real life
- rehabilitation assessment
cross check for pure-tone audiometry
- differentiate hearing loss
- beneficial for testing children
