Elicitation of an acoustic reflex at a hearing level better than
that obtained with voluntary behavioral responses suggests
the presence of
A.loudness recruitment
B.abnormal adaptation or tone decay
C.high impedance or low compliance
D.functional or nonorganic hearing loss
E.conductive hearing loss - ANSWERS-Correct Answer: D
Option (D) is correct. Better hearing levels with acoustic
reflexes than with voluntary responses are obtained only in
cases of nonorganic hearing loss. If a person has a
,nonorganic hearing loss, then poor hearing levels on
voluntary behavioral response tests will be due to voluntary
action. Acoustic reflex elicitation, however, is involuntary.
In order to minimize the chances of exacerbating tinnitus,
which of the following should be avoided?
A.Exposure to high levels of chlorine
B.Using hearing protection devices
C.Taking high doses of beta carotene
D.High stress
E.High-intensity exercise - ANSWERS-Correct Answer: D
Option (D) is correct. High levels of stress can exacerbate
tinnitus.
Some individuals no longer go to the movies because their
hearing loss makes it difficult for them to enjoy the
experience. Which of the following domains of auditory
function is being described by this behavior as defined by
the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and
Health from the World Health Organization?
A.Hearing impairment
,B.Hearing handicap
C.Body function
D.Activity limitation
E.Participation restriction - ANSWERS-Option (E) is correct.
The individuals' hearing impairment limits their ability to
participate in an activity as a result of their having trouble
understanding speech. Consequently, the individuals restrict
their participation in activities that require them to
understand speech, such as movies.
An audiologist is using a tracking procedure to assess a
cochlear-implant patient's progress in communicating under
audition-plus-vision conditions. The materials used are
articles from popular magazines. Data are collected for 15
minutes every working day for a week. Word-per-minute
scores of 23.4, 43.6, 13.6, 54.2, and 27.3 are obtained.
Which of the following is the most likely explanation for the
variation in performance?
A.A learning effect
B.Variation in the print size used by the publishers
C.Variation in the vocabulary or syntax used by the authors
D.Normal response variation
, E.Malfunction of the cochlear implant - ANSWERS-Correct
Answer: C
Option (C) is correct. Tracking involves having the client
repeat phrases read by the audiologist from different
sources. Because each author has a different style, there will
be considerable variation in how familiar the vocabulary is
to the patient and in the number and degree of redundancy
of syntactic clues, all factors that affect word-per-minute
scores.
graph shows steadily rising masking effect. At 75dB HL there
is a plateau all the way to 90dB. After that is rises again
Individuals with normal hearing sensitivity in one ear and a
severe hearing loss in the other ear experience which of the
following?
A.An improvement in speech understanding when the noise
is closer to the ear with hearing loss
B.Improved ability to localize when the noise source is
closer to the ear with normal hearing
