ILE Prep Exam Questions and Answers
Graded A+
Functional Loss - Correct answer-A hearing loss wiht no organic basis for elevated
thresholds.
- Speech Recognition/ Reception Threshold that is much better than the pure tone
average.
- Extreme lack of consistency and reliability of responses.
Flat Audiogram - Correct answer-Thresholds are approximately equal at all
frequencies 500 to 4000hz. Page 297 WB
Gradually Sloping - Audiogram - Correct answer-Thresholds fall off in the higher
frequencies at about 5-10 db in er octave. Page 298 WB
Markedly Sloping - Audiogram - Correct answer-Thresholds fall off at 15-20dB
per octave in the higher frequencies. Page 298 WB
Reverse Slope - Audiogram - Correct answer-Thresholds are worse in the lower
frequencies and improved in the higher frequencies. Page 299 WB
