Which condition is most commonly associated with normal
hearing?
hyperacusis
diplacusis
presbycusis
none of the above - Answer-Hyperacusis
Often associated with normal hearing, and can result from
paralysis of the facial (VII) nerve which causes paralysis of
the stapedius muscle!
diplacusis is hearing the same sounds at different
frequencies between ears
presbycusis is age related hearing loss
*The relationship of Hertz to sound waves to cycles per
second equals:
a. 1:10:100
b. 1:2:3
,2|Page
c. 1:1:1
d. 1:100:10 - Answer-1:1:1
One cycle generates one sound wave
Frequency (Hz) is determined by number of cycles per
second
A frequency of one cycle per second equals 1 Hz
1 Hz equals 1 sound wave and 1 cycle per second 1:1:1
*The human voice has a frequency range of approx.
a. 50-500 Hz
b. 6000-11,000 Hz
c. 30-30,000 Hz
d. 80-6000 Hz - Answer-80-6000 Hz
Most of the sound energy of human voices lies between
125-6000 Hz
The peak of sound energy of the human voice is from
1000-3000 Hz
*In general the frequency range of human hearing is
roughly
a. 20-20,000 Hz
,3|Page
b. 10-30,000 Hz
c. 1-10,000 Hz
d. 200-5,000 Hz - Answer-20-20,000 Hz
The human ear can hear frequencies below and above the
typical range of the human voice
NOTE: I'm not sure about humans hearing up to 20kHz
but this is what the answer key states
When using manual pure tone audiometry as part of a
hearing loss prevention program, the frequencies that
should be tested are:
a. 250, 500, 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000
b. 500, 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, 6000, and 8000
c. 1000, 2000, 3000, 40000, 6000, 8000, and 10,000
d. 800, 1000, 1200, 1400, 1600, 1800, and 2000 - Answer-
500, 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, 6000, and 8000
If an individual has a low frequency hearing loss which
frequencies should be tested in addition to the usual
frequencies
a. 125 Hz
b. 250 Hz
, 4|Page
c. Both
d. Neither - Answer-Both 125 Hz and 250 Hz
Extended high frequency audiometry is performed at
frequencies of:
a. 9000-16,000 Hz
b. 4000-8000 Hz
c. 15,000-25,000 Hz
d. 900-1600 Hz - Answer-9,000-16,000 Hz
For which of the following instruments do national
standards or uniform performance standards for
calibration exist?
a. Pure tone audiometers
b. OAEs
c. ABR
d. all have calibration standards - Answer-Pure tone
audiometers
Only pure tone audiometers have established (ANSI)
standards for calibration
Which is most likely to be introduced deliberately by an
examiner during an audiometric exam?
