INTRO TO AUDIOLOGY EXAM#2 UPDATED ACTUAL
QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS
Question 1.
When do you need to mask for bone conduction?
ANSWER
when there is a differnce between ac and bc by 15dB or more int the same ear
Question 2.
What do you compare to find out if you have to mask for bone conduction?
ANSWER
ac and bc by 15dB or more int the same ear
Question 3.
How do you determine which ear is your test ear for bone conduction masking?
ANSWER
The ear with the airbone gap
Question 4.
When do you need to mask for air conduction?
ANSWER
when there is a differnce between IA or more in between the Left and right ears in AC
Question 5.
How do you determine which ear is your test ear for air conduction masking?
ANSWER
TE = the worse ear
,Question 6.
How do you know which masked symbol to use?
ANSWER
right AC masking= red triangle
right BC Masking= red ] left AC masking= blue square
left BC masking= blue [
Question 7.
supra oral headphones IA=
ANSWER
40
Question 8.
insert headphones IA=
ANSWER
55
Question 9.
When do you have to mask for speech audiometry?
ANSWER
when the SRT has a differnce between IA or more (uses AC rules)
Question 10.
For speech audiometry, how do you know which ear is your TE/NTE?
ANSWER
TE= worse ear NTE= Better ear (same as AC)
Question 11.
What is the initial intensity for the TE? NTE?
ANSWER
NTE= A persons unmasked threshold +10 TE= AC threshold
, Question 12.
When do you need to correct for the occlusion effect?
ANSWER
when testing for BC only supra oral headphones 250hz + 20 500hz+ 15 1000hz +5
insertearphones 250hz + 10
Question 13.
How do you calculate masker level for WRS?
ANSWER
presentation level - 30
Question 14.
What is the procedure for masking?
ANSWER
if the patient hears increase masker by 10dB if the patient doesn't hear increase test
signal/pure tone by 5dB
Question 15.
What is the plateau method?
ANSWER
the masker is increased 3 times in a row
Question 16.
When/How do you change the test signal?
ANSWER
when the signal isn't heard increase pure tone by +5dB
Question 17.
Which ear gets the masked symbol? TE or NTE?
ANSWER
TE
