1
Q

Tactile responses

A

When patient feels stimulus instead of hearing it (low frequencies, high intensities, bone conductor)

2
Q

pseudohypacusis

A

Diverse collection of patients with false or exaggerated hearing loss

3
Q

Nonorganic hearing loss

A

This phrase implies that there is no anatomical or physiological abnormality in the auditory system

4
Q

Functional hearing loss

A

Suggests abnormal hearing tests with no apparent physiological or anatomical basis

5
Q

Malingering

A

Malingerer is assumed to be intentionally and deliberately producing flase hearing test results, often for personal monetary gain

6
Q

Stenger test

A

Used on patients with unilateral hearing loss. Good for catching malingerers.

7
Q

Speech materials

A

Various speech stimuli used in speech audiometry

8
Q

What controls the intensity level of the speech signal?

A

Hearing level dial

9
Q

What controls the intesity of the speech materials for each channel?

A

Monitor Ch1 and Monitor Ch2

10
Q

Calibration knob

A

Used to make small adjustments in the intensity of the speech signals during the calibration process to assure accuracy of the speech signal to the patient

11
Q

What is the intensity level that a patient perceives as comfortable to listen to?

A

Most comfortable level

12
Q

What is the intensity level at which sound becomes uncomfortable or causes discomfort?

A

Loudness discomfort level

13
Q

Carrier phrase

A

A short phrase, usually three words, that comes before the presentation of each word

14
Q

Open-set response test

A

Patient has no advance notice about which word they are about to hear

15
Q

Closed-set response test

A

The patient responds to a test word within a limited collection of possible words

16
Q

signal-to-noise ratio

A

The relation between the intensity level of the words and the intensity level of the background sound

17
Q

multi-talker babble

A

A recording of actual environmental noise with many people talking in the background where it is impossible to follow any of the conversations

18
Q

The cocktail party effect

A

Background noise is present in a small group of speakers but with some effort a normal-hearing listener can understand what each speaker is saying

19
Q

articulation index

A

used to describe the amount of speech that is audible

20
Q

initial masking

A

the minimum level of masking noise necessary to produce a 5 dB shift or increase in air conduction thresholds in the non-test ear

21
Q

effective masking

A

the amount of noise that definitely makes a specific signal such as a pure tone inaudible to the non-test ear

22
Q

minimum masking

A

the lowest noise level that just masks a pure tone or speech signal of a certain intensity level

23
Q

Maximum masking

A

The highest level of masking noise that should be presented to the non-test ear

24
Q

Under-masking

A

The intensity level of masking noise is too low and the non-test ear may still contribute to the patient’s response

25
Q

Over masking

A

Crossover of masking noise from the non-test ear to the test ear

26
Q

occlusion effect

A

an enhancement or improvement in bone-conduction hearing for lower frequency sounds

27
Q

White noise or broadband noise

A

Contains approximately equal amounts of acoustic energy over a broad range of frequencies

28
Q

Narrow band noise

A

Sound energy within a critical band of noise that is centered at a pure tone frequency. Ideal for pure tone testing

29
Q

Speech noise

A

Consists of a broad band of noise with relatively greater energy in the speech frequencies

30
Q

What are the possible formats of an audiological report?

A

Freeform, templates

31
Q

What does CCs stand for?

A

Carbon copy

32
Q

What does SOAP note stand for?

A

Subjective, objective, assessment, plan

33
Q

Chart note

A

Used for brief summary of appointment, typically used for followup appointments

34
Q

When does the development of the auditory system occur?

A

3rd to 37th gestational week
