SPAA 344 Exam 1 Solved Correctly To
Score A+
What is AR? CORRECT ANSWERS - restore a lost state/function due to hearing loss to
achieve better communication and minimize the resulting difficulties
Aural = related to ears
Rehabilitation = process of restoring to former or "normal" function
Goals of AR? CORRECT ANSWERS -NOT about "fixing" the hearing problem.
-Identify how hearing difficulties affect the patient's life.
-Alleviate the difficulties related to hearing loss
*Enhance the activities and participation of the person
*Implementing rehabilitation programs to address specific challenges
-Minimize its consequences
*Help the person accept residual problems associated with hearing loss
*Improve quality of life
WHO CORRECT ANSWERS World Health Organization
ICF CORRECT ANSWERS International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and
Health
AR components & model CORRECT ANSWERS AR components and model
- Assessment (CORE)
- Management (CARE)
Typical components
Diagnosis
Provision of appropriate listening device
Auditory training
Speechreading hearing
Counseling
Hearing protection
Tinnitus management
Speech language therapy
CORE & CARE CORRECT ANSWERS CORE: Communication status→ Overall
participation variables→Related personal factors→ Environmental factors
Management (CARE) → Counseling & psychosocial → Ability & amplification

improvement
who provides AR? CORRECT ANSWERS - Audiologist
- SLP
, - A teacher for children who are deaf and hard of hearing
Who serves as major AR roles? CORRECT ANSWERS - Educators
- Psychologists
- Social workers
- Rehabilitation counselors
- Others as needed
Other team members:
Adults: home, vocational, social/ advocational
Child: home, educational, social/ extracurricular
What is sound? CORRECT ANSWERS Sound is a wave that is created by vibrating
objects and propagates through a medium from one location to another
Frequency CORRECT ANSWERS Number of cycles (vibrations) per second
Perceived as pitch
Unit of measurement: Hertz (Hz)
Human hearing range in frequency? 20-20,000
High frequency = short wavelength
Low frequency = long wavelength
Amplitude CORRECT ANSWERS - Maximum displacement in the positive and negative
direction
- Perceived as loudness
- Unit of measurement: decibels (dB)
- higher= longer
- lower= smaller/tighter compacted
Human auditory system is splint into: CORRECT ANSWERS Peripheral and central
Peripheral CORRECT ANSWERS Outer ( Auricle pinna & EAM)
Middle (Tympanic membrane & ossicular chain & impedance matcher)
Inner ear (Cochlea & Vestibule and semicircular canals- Origin of Corti)
Two mechanisms of hearing: CORRECT ANSWERS Air conduction
Bone conduction
What is air conduction? CORRECT ANSWERS sound waves travel from the outer ear,
middle ear, to the inner ear.
What is bone conduction CORRECT ANSWERS vibrations go through the skull, bypass
the outer ear and middle ear, directly stimulate the inner ear
Hearing loss descriptors: case study CORRECT ANSWERS pre-lingual vs. post-lingual
progressive vs. sudden
