masking

using a second sound, frequently noise, to make the detection of another
sound more difficult.
Used in BC testing or in AC testing when one ear is markedly better than
the other.

, the muscle attached to the state that dampens vibrations of the ossicular
chain.
-innervated by CN VII
Signing Exact English (SEE)

a system of manual communication that strives to be an exact
representation of English vocabulary and grammar.
moderately severe (hearing loss)

56-70 dB HL
Can understand only amplified or shouted speech.
tensor tympani

, the muscle attached to the malleus that dampens vibrations
of the TM.

moderate (hearing loss)
Give this one a try later!
41-55 dB HL
Causes delayed speech and language acquisition; difficulty in producing
certain speech sounds correctly; difficulty following conversation
admittance

Measure of the amount of energy that flows through the system.
Counterpart of impedance.
Auditory Evoked Potentials (AEPs)

, Electrophysiological tests record neuroelectric responses generated by
the auditory system
central electroauditory prosthesis (CEP)
Give this one a try later!
AKA brainstem implant; a more current development in implant
technology; directly stimulated the cochlear nucleus of the auditory nerve
at the brainstem level; when the cochlea and the hair cells are damaged to
such an extent that a cochlear implant will not work, implants of electrodes
may carry the sound to the auditory nerve fibers and the brainstem
Speech Reception Threshold (SRT)

the lowest/softest level of hearing at which the person can understand 50%
of words presented. Uses spondee words.
