Which of the following is true of the occlusion effect
observed during pure tone audiometry?
· It results in artificially poorer thresholds at all frequencies
· It can affect the measurement of air-conduction thresholds
at low hz
· Affects air at high hz
· Affects bone at low hz
· Affects bone at high hz
affects bone at low Hz
Diagnostic audiometers generally provide one-third-octave
noise bands for use in masking pure tones. The bandwidth is
used because bands of that width:
· Are centered in the frequency range of normal speech
· Encompass the width of a critical band
· Produce more masking than pink noise does
· Produce more masking than half-octave bands do
· Are less than the wide of a critical band
encompass the width of the critical band
It is important to consider the gestational age of an infant,
rather than chronological age, when interpreting which of the
following?
· ABR wave V latencies
· DPOAE
· TORCH
· APGAR
· WIPI
ABR wave V latencies
An audiometer attenuator is set to 0dB HL. Which of the
following is true about the SPL output at the earphone?
· Constant across all hz
,· Lowest at mid hz
· Increases as a function of hz
· Highest at 4000hz
· Decreases at 6dB per octave
lowest at mid Hz
A patient in the early stages of Meniere's disease will have an
increase in the amount of endolymph in the inner ear. At the
same time, audiometric assessment is liely to show SNHL
that affects:
· All frequencies
· 250-2000Hz
· 2000-4000Hz
· 4000-8000Hz
· 8000-10000Hz
· 250-2000Hz
A person calls to order tickets for a concert and is told that at
the rear of the orchestra section, which is 20 meters away,
the average intensity is 65dB SPL. The person decides to
purchase tickets for seats that are 10 meters from the stage,
where the SPL will average what?
· 59 dB SPL
· 62 dB SPL
· 65 dB SPL
· 68 dB SPL
· 71 dB SPL
71 dB SPL
The ANSI standard for classroom acoustics pertains to noise
levels in unoccupied classrooms and recommended
reverberation times. The ANSI standards are intended for use
in the design of new classrooms and in the renovation of
existing classrooms. The recommended noise levels and
times are:
· 10 dBA or less and 0.1 seconds or less
· 50 dBA or less and 1.0 seconds or less
· 35 dBA or less and 0.6 seconds or less
,· 55 dBA or less and 0.6 seconds or less
· 45 dBA or less and 4.1 seconds or less
· 35 dBA or less and 0.6 seconds or less
The cochlear implant signal-processing strategy in which
brief pulses are presented to each electrode in a non-
overlapping sequence is known as:
· Feature extraction
· Continuous interleaved sampling
· Fine structure
· Current steering
· Filter bank
CIS
Which of the following is the primary reason investigators
have given for limiting a hearing aid's OSPL90 to a lower
level when it is worn by a child than an adult?
· Loud amplified sounds may frighten a young child
· The volume of the EAM in children is less than the
represented by a 2cc coupler, and consequently the SPL a
the eardrum is greater
· Measuring the degree of hearing loss in preschoolers is
often imprecise and may lead to improper fitting of an aid
· Parents and teachers of children with hearing impairments
typically talk louder than adults
· The primary speech signal will be masked because room
noise and reverberation will be amplified
· The volume of the EAM in children is less than the represented
by a 2cc coupler, and consequently the SPL a the eardrum is
greater
Which of the following evaluation measures is the most likely
to provide valid and reliable information about a typically
developing 9-month-old child's hearing sensitivity at 500-
4000Hz?
· Visual reinforcement (VRA)
· Pure tone play
· OAE
, · ABR
· BOA
VRA ?
In the measurement of real ear sound pressure levels with a
probe mic, insufficient probe tube depth will tend to:
· Increase high hz
· Decrease high hz
· Decrease all
· Decrease low hz
· Increase low hz
decrease high Hz ?
