REAL EXAM QUESTIONS AND CORRECT VERIFIED
ANSWERS/ ALREADY GRADED A+ (BRAND NEW!!)
Q1. Which of the following statements is most true about the
use of gloves?
A) Gloves can be reused as long as they were not contaminated
with blood
B) Gloves can be cleaned and reused if properly sanitized
C) Gloves are considered one-time use and should be disposed
of after each use
D) Gloves can be saved for a different appointment with the
same patient
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Gloves are single-use items and must be disposed of
after each patient encounter. Reusing gloves can transmit
pathogens regardless of visible contamination .
Q2. What tool should be utilized when verifying otoblock
placement in the ear canal?
1
,A) Otolight
B) Otoscope
C) Visual inspection only
D) Tip of syringe
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: An otoscope is essential for visualizing the ear canal
and verifying proper otoblock placement before taking ear
impressions. This ensures the otoblock is correctly positioned and
will protect the tympanic membrane .
Q3. Impacted cerumen:
A) Will not interfere with impression taking
B) Should be surgically removed
C) Will have little effect on audiometric tests
D) Should be removed prior to audiometric evaluation
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Impacted cerumen must be removed before
audiometric evaluation because it can artificially elevate
thresholds and interfere with accurate testing results .

,Q4. When taking an ear impression, why might your patient
cough?
A) It's a normal response when nervous
B) The cotton block has been placed too deep
C) The material is too cold
D) The patient has an ear infection
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Coughing during ear impression taking typically
indicates the cotton block (otoblock) has been placed too deep,
stimulating the Arnold's nerve (auricular branch of the vagus
nerve) which triggers the cough reflex.
Q5. Which infection control process refers to the killing of
100% of germs?
A) Sterilization
B) Cleaning
C) Disinfecting
D) Sanitizing
Correct Answer: A
3
, Rationale: Sterilization is the complete elimination or killing of all
microorganisms, including bacterial spores. Disinfection reduces
but does not eliminate all microbial life .
Q6. In the test box, the measure that evaluates the telecoil
function is:
A) THD (Total Harmonic Distortion)
B) FOG (Frequency of Gain)
C) STS (Sensitivity to Telephone Simulation)
D) EIN (Equivalent Input Noise)
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: STS (Sensitivity to Telephone Simulation) is the test box
measure that specifically evaluates telecoil function in hearing
aids. It assesses how well the telecoil responds to magnetic
fields .
Q7. Which test would evaluate the harmonic distortion of a
hearing aid?
A) SPLITS
B) OSPL 90
