Adaptive Environmental Sequencing - Beyond Noise Management

View Course Details Please note: exam questions are subject to change.


1.  Adaptive Environmental Sequencing, as discussed today, incorporates which of the following:
  1. dynamic directional detection, acoustic landscapes, automatic telephone solutions
  2. feedback management, directional microphones, indicators
  3. data log, indicators, feedback management
  4. compression, gain, time constants
  5. none of the above
2.  In addition to overall input level and omni/directional path power estimates, which of the following is used as an analysis point in Adaptive Environmental Sequencing?
  1. SNR calculation
  2. Magnetic Field Detection
  3. DTMF Detection
  4. All of the above
  5. None of the above
3.  How often does the hearing aid, through Adaptive Environmental Sequencing, analyze the incoming signal?
  1. Every 6 seconds
  2. Once every second
  3. Every 6 milliseconds
  4. Every 60 seconds
4.  In what ways can Dynamic Directional Detection be personalized for your patients?
  1. Automatic switching from omni to directional mode
  2. Roll off amounts
  3. Set to switch more or less often
  4. Changing Time Constants
  5. All of the above
5.  Based on the low frequency roll off rules, if your patient's threshold at 500Hz is 65db, how much roll off would be applied?
  1. 18dB
  2. 12dB
  3. 6dB
  4. no roll off
  5. Roll off is not dependent upon hearing thresholds
6.  If you are counseling a patient on a hearing aid feature designed to reduce low level inputs (below 50dB) such as a refrigerator running, which acoustic landscape are you referring to:
  1. Noise
  2. Speech in Noise
  3. Wind
  4. Machine Noise
  5. Quiet
7.  If your patient works in a factory around relatively loud steady state noise, what acoustic landscape would most likely be activated?
  1. Noise
  2. Speech in Noise
  3. Wind
  4. Machine Noise
  5. Quiet
8.  Which Acoustic Landscape uses SNR as a measurement in addition to dB (intensity level) as a classification?
  1. Noise
  2. Speech in Noise
  3. Wind
  4. Quiet
  5. A & B
9.  Comfort Control offers what additional personalization to your patients:
  1. It changes the signal to noise ratio in the environment of the patient
  2. It offers a personalized SNR threshold for activation of the speech in noise acoustic landscape
  3. It changes directionality settings
  4. It requires a remote control
10.  The T2 remote:
  1. Is any land line or mobile phone
  2. Allows for memory position changes
  3. Allows for volume changes
  4. All of the above
