1.  According to Kirkwood (2010), what percent of audiologists and/or hearing instrument specialists usually perform real ear measures on all patients?
  1. 0%
  2. 10%
  3. 20%
  4. 60%
  5. 50%
2.  Correcting for channel summation will:
  1. Increase the prescriptive REIG or REAR target
  2. Decrease the prescriptive REIG or REAR target
  3. Have no significant impact on the REIG or REAR target
  4. Increase only the REIG target
  5. Decrease only the REAR target
3.  Correcting for bilateral summation will
  1. Increase the prescriptive REIG or REAR target
  2. Decrease the prescriptive REIG or REAR target
  3. Have no significant impact on the REIG or REAR target
  4. Increase only the REIG target
  5. Decrease only the REAR target
4.  When using Frye real ear analyzers, the default setting for real ear REIG or REAR measures is:
  1. Bilateral fitting with 5 signal processing channels
  2. Unilateral fitting with 10 signal processing channels
  3. Unilateral fitting with 15 channels of signal processing
  4. Bilateral fitting with 15 channels of signal processing
  5. Unilateral fitting with 1 signal processing channel
5.  For REAR measures, real ear analyzers typically convert entered audiometric thresholds obtained in dB HL into thresholds in dB SPL measures by: :
  1. Adding the measured REDD to the entered audiometric threshold
  2. Adding manufacturer generated REDD to the entered audiometric
  3. Adding the average REUR to the entered audiometric threshold
  4. Adding the average REAR to the entered audiometric threshold
  5. Adding the average REDD to the entered audiometric threshold
6.  For Frye real ear analyzers, the default target LDL in dB SPL for RESR90 measures is generated by:
  1. convert the entered audiometric threshold measured in dB HL to predicted LDL (dB HL) using data from Pascoe and add the average REDD
  2. convert the entered audiometric thresholds measured in dB SPL to predicted LDL (dB HL) using data from Pascoe and add the measured REDD
  3. convert the entered audiometric thresholds measured in dB HL to predicted LDL (dB HL) using data from Pascoe and add the standard error of the REDD
  4. convert the entered audiometric thresholds measured in dB HL to predicted LDL (dB HL) using data from Pascoe and add the 95% CI of the REDD
7.  The intersubject variability of LDL's has been reported to be:
  1. 3-4 dB
  2. > 25 dB
  3. 10-12 dB
  4. 0 dB
  5. > 60 dB
8.  Correction for the air-bone gap is thought to be:
  1. 5% of the air-bone gap
  2. 10% of the air-bone gap
  3. 15% of the air-bone gap
  4. No need to correct for the air-bone gap
  5. 20-25% of the air-bone
9.  Correcting for the air-bone gap will:
  1. Decrease the prescriptive REIG or REAR target
  2. Increase the prescriptive REIG or REAR target
  3. Have no impact
  4. Increase only the REIG target
  5. Decrease only the REAR
10.  Correcting for individual REDD in REAR measures will:
  1. Increase the sensation level of the REAR targets
  2. Decrease the sensation level of the REAR targets
  3. Have no impact on the sensation level of the REAR targets
  4. Increase or decrease the sensation level of REAR targets
  5. None of the above
