A-Make acoustic changes to the hearing instrument's programming B-Tell the patient/client that the same measures will be completed after the patient/client has used their hearing instruments for another couple of weeks C-Complete verification measures again D-Discuss the differences between the patient's/client's pre-fitting and post-fitting validation measures with the patient/client - ANSWER D-Discuss the differences between the patient's/client's pre-fitting and post-fitting validation measures with the patient/client What needs to be compared to determine the type hearing loss? A-AC and BC SRTs B-Thresholds and UCLs C-AC and BC thresholds D-AC thresholds and normal hearing - ANSWER C- AC and BC thresholds What is the benefit of measuring thresholds for all octave and inter-octave frequencies? A-The hearing instrument fitting potential is optimized B-The audiogram appears more professional C-Better test-retest reliability D-Better predictive value for speech audiometry - ANSWER A-The hearing instrument fitting potential is optimized A patient/client presents with a progressive bilateral sensory/neural hearing loss that is now profound with significantly reduced WR ability in both ears.
