TEXES 181 ACTUAL FINAL PAPER QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS GRADED A+
✔✔air-conduction audiometry - ✔✔uses over- the- ear headphones or in-ear phones or
buds
-can diagnose sensorineural, conductive, or mixed hearing loss.
✔✔bone-conduction testing - ✔✔places a vibrator on the temporal bone forehead using
a headband.
✔✔otosclerosis - ✔✔genetic abnormal overgrowth of bone conductive hearing loss. It
can be treated with surgery.
✔✔Meniere's disease - ✔✔affects the vestibular system, causing balance problems,
vertigo, tinnitus, and hearing loss, tends to cause changes in hearing levels over short
times.
✔✔Otorrhea - ✔✔is discharge coming out of the ear (s). It can consist of mucus, pus,
blood, or cerebrospinal fluid.
✔✔Gradenigo's syndrome - ✔✔a group of symptoms including ear pain, discharge from
the ear that hurts and double vision.
✔✔Cued speech - ✔✔an alternative system of visual communication for deaf and hard
of hearing people.
-a way of encoding the English language.
combines speech's mouth movements with hand shapes and placements to make
speech sounds appear more distinctively different from one another.
8 handshapes near the face.
✔✔Total communication - ✔✔oral speech, sign language, speech reading, body
language, and the use of amplification.
✔✔Manually coded English - ✔✔is a "constructed" system of signing that uses signs
taken from ASL to represent words in spoken or written English sentences.
uses the syntactic structure of English
-Signed English
-Signed Essential English
-Seeing Essential English
✔✔Speech reading - ✔✔lip reading
40 % of speech phonemes can be seen on the lips.
✔✔Otology - ✔✔is the medical name for the study and care of the ear.
, ✔✔Total physical response - ✔✔is the name of the language-learning approach that
emphasizes the connection between language and its representations in the external
world.
✔✔Peer-assisted learning - ✔✔learning strategies promotes community in the
classroom.
✔✔CASE - ✔✔Which version of Manually Coded English presents in the grammatical
structure of Signed English?
✔✔What is the name for the hearing assessment procedure in which only the inner ear
is stimulated? - ✔✔bone conduction testing
✔✔Normal Range - ✔✔0dB to 20 dB
✔✔Mild Loss - ✔✔20 dB to 40 dB
✔✔Moderate Loss - ✔✔40 dB to 60 dB
✔✔Severe Loss - ✔✔60 dB to 80dB
✔✔Profound Loss - ✔✔80 dB to more
✔✔Unilateral - ✔✔hearing loss in one ear
✔✔Bilateral - ✔✔Hearing loss in both ears
✔✔Symmetrical - ✔✔degree and configuration are the same in both ears
✔✔Asymmetrical - ✔✔degree and configuration are different in each ear.
✔✔progressive - ✔✔hearing is lost over a period of time.
✔✔sudden - ✔✔loss that is acute and quick; usually requires immediate medical
attention.
✔✔Bilingual-bicultural educational approach - ✔✔is modeled upon educational
programs for students learning English as a second language or English language
learners.
✔✔Cochlear Implants - ✔✔uses electrodes that are surgically implanted in the cochlea,
which are stimulated by signals they are sent by a connected outer device placed
behind the ear (s).
