the hearing aid vent to control feedback
Most conducive losses: - ANSWER: Are medically correctable, display a breakdown or
obstruction in middle ear and display good discrimination
The T position on a hearing aid switch can be used to - ANSWER: amplify a telephone
conversation, couple hearing aid into a loop inductor, couple directly into the audio
of a radio or tv
The following components can change or modify the frequency response of a
hearing instrument: - ANSWER: a microphone

User satisfaction must include: - ANSWER: patient preferences
The following measurements use SPL as a reference: - ANSWER: Probe microphones,
sound field aided thresholds, and ANSI specifications
Speech discrimination tests: - ANSWER: approximate a sample of speech sounds in
an ordinary conversation.
A formant is: - ANSWER: a frequency region within a complex tone where certain
harmonics have relatively large energy.
Malingering is a category of : - ANSWER: non organic loss
Bone conduction threshold worse than air conduction thresholds may be caused by :
- ANSWER: poor placement of vibrator, skull fracture, thickness of skull
Part of the basic law of electrical energy is : - ANSWER: protons attract electrons

a patient/client.
Which outcome measurement tool should the hearing healthcare professional use to
determine proper fit? - ANSWER: Real ear measurement
