|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
noise, the ability to focus one sound over another, sounds
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
appear louder, better peach comprehension. - CORRECT

10. Ototoxic drugs - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Causes of S/N
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
hearing loss include:
|\ |\ |\
A. reduced audibility and intelligibility
|\ |\ |\ |\
,|\ 1. poor frequency selectivity
|\ |\ |\
|\ 2. reduced dynamic range
|\ |\ |\
3. SNHL elevates thresholds but tolerance for loud
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
sounds is unchanged relative to normal
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\
B. Recruitment
|\
1. an exaggerated perception of loud sounds (abnormal
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
loudness growth) |\
2. Important to measure UCLs at multiple frequencies to
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
accurately measure dynamic range. - CORRECT ANSWERS
