When might you use a pulsed tone for pure tone audiometry?
[20 dB]
If you use a pulsed tone, how long must the tone be on for each presentation and why? [At least 200 ms, because threshold increases as duration decreases] When might you do air conduction testing (standard audiometric frequencies) with loudspeakers (i.e., in soundfield) instead of headphones? How do you have to modify tones presented in soundfield? What is the limitation on conclusions you can draw about hearing if you test in soundfield? [draining ears, children who won't tolerate headphones; warbled; does not provide individual ear information - only tests the better ear] What are the two types of transducers used for air conduction testing of standard audiometric frequencies? [Supraaural headphones [TDH 49/50] and insert earphones [ER-3A]]
[20 dB = 1 octave]
What's on the X axis and Y axis of an audiogram (be specific about the units)?
[Frequency in Hertz, Level in dB HL] Formula for normal hearing AC WNL + BC WNL + (<=10 dB ABG) = normal hearing
What are the three mechanisms of bone conduction? [Distortional; osseotympanic; inertial]
True or false: You can determine the type of hearing loss and the amount of a conductive component, if it exists, using air conduction thresholds alone.
[ANSI S3.6]
What is the calibration standard for room noise levels?
[ANSI S3.1]
A false _________ response occurs when the patient does not indicate s/he heard the tone when it actually was heard, whereas a false _______ response occurs when the patient responds but no sound was presented.
[negative; positive]
What is the general purpose for tuning fork tests? [To differentiate between CHL and SNHL]
