The caloric test is designed to stimulate which of the

An audiologist fits a young woman with binaural BTE
hearing aids three weeks ago. The patient reports that the
devices have provided suitable amplification in most
environments, but she complains that low level ambient
noise has been distracting. In an effort to reduce the
adverse noise effect, what adjustment might the
audiologist make to the hearing aids?
· Increasing threshold kneepoint
· Decreasing threshold kneepoint
· Enabling wide dynamic range compression
,2|Page
· Decreasing the gain in all frequency bands
· Enabling expansion - ...ANSWER...✓✓ enabling
expansion
Individuals with normal hearing sensitivity in one ear and
a severe hearing loss in the other ear experience which
of the following?
· An improvement in speech understanding when the
noise is closer to the ear with hearing loss
· Improved ability to localize when the noise source is
closer to the ear with normal hearing
· Better speech understanding and localization as the
reverberation time increases
· More difficulty understanding speech with the speaker
moves closer to the ear with hearing loss
· Improved localization when the noise is at 0 degrees
azimuth and the source is closer to the ear with hearing
loss - ...ANSWER...✓✓ · An improvement in speech
understanding when the noise is closer to the ear with
hearing loss
A patient is seen for vestibular evaluation with the
primary complaint of persistent imbalance for the past 6
months. She states that she has one severe attack of true
,3|Page
rotary vertigo 6 months ago, and since then fears another
will occur. She has limited her activities, as quick head
movements increase her symptoms. She takes meclizine
daily. VNG indicate normal saccade, OPK, and smooth
pursuit. A second degree left-beating nystagmus is
observed during gaze testing without fixation. Post active
headshake nystagmus reveals a left-beating nystagmus.
No positioning or positional nystagmus is observed.
Bilateral caloric results indicate a 50% right weakness
with no DP. This patient has:
· Menieres disease
· Central vestib pathology
· Statically uncompensated peripheral pathology affecting
right ear
· Dynamically uncompensated peripheral pathology
affecting left ear
· A dynamically uncompensated peripheral pathology
affect - ...ANSWER...✓✓ dynamically uncompensated
peripheral pathology affecting right ear
Which of the following is a possible outcome of an
audiologist using a physicians NPI for billing rather than
using his/her own NPI?
· The reimbursement for services rendered will be
enhanced
, 4|Page
· The incorrect validation of the physician as the
predominant provider of audiology services
· The expansion of the scope of practice for audiologists
· The audiologists will not be liable for malpractice
· The audiologist will no longer be eligible to maintain his
or her own NPI - ...ANSWER...✓✓ · The incorrect
validation of the physician as the predominant provider of
audiology services
ABR testing indicates a prolonged wave I-V latency. These
findings are consistent with which of the following?
· Retrocochlear pathology, such as acoustic neuroma
· Conductive hearing loss due to middle ear effusion
· Cochlear hearing loss, ototoxicity
· Middle ear dysfunction- otosclerosis
· APD from stroke - ...ANSWER...✓✓ retrocochlear
pathology, such as AN
Which of the following is the most appropriate action for
an audiologist to take when counseling a patient with a
hearing impairment
· Encouraging the patient to buy a hearing aid
