1.  For the Top 20 Requested Improvements noted in the Kochkin study discussed today, which of the following could be helped with an effective feedback management system?
  1. Better sound quality
  2. Less whistling/buzzing
  3. Work better on the telephone
  4. Better fit and comfort
  5. all of the above
2.  According to our presentation, which of the following is NOT an attribute of an effective feedback cancellation system?
  1. It provides a substantial amount of added stable gain
  2. It allows for larger venting
  3. It increases usable gain levels without compromising frequency response
  4. It rapidly attacks feedback regardless of how much distortion might be introduced
3.  Which of the following statements is generally true of traditional occluded fittings with regard to feedback?
  1. the feedback path is generally restricted
  2. feedback tends to occur across a narrow frequency range
  3. feedback has been nearly impossible to reduce in these situations
  4. A & B
  5. None of the above
4.  Strategic Feedback Control is found to have what level of added stable gain in open hearing aid fittings?
  1. 25dB
  2. 20dB
  3. 18dB
  4. 17db
5.  When comparing Strategic Feedback Control to our previous, Best in Class feedback management system, Active Feedback Intercept, in areas of complex feedback, how much improvement was measured?
  1. up to 5dB
  2. up to 10dB
  3. up to 15dB
  4. up to 20dB
6.  What is the name of the first screen you meet in Inspire 2009 which allows you to fully set the hearing aid for your patient and includes running the Strategic Feedback Control initialization?
  1. Fitting Wizard
  2. Auto Path
  3. Best Fits
  4. Custom Fit
7.  Once you've initialized Strategic Feedback Control for your patient, in which of the following ways can you view your patient's gain margin?
  1. Per channel
  2. Per memory
  3. Per ear
  4. Per omni and directional microphone
  5. all of the above
8.  If there is a potential for feedback found during initialization, how would you know?
  1. an arrow would appear allowing you to see what memories are at risk
  2. you can go to the gain margin screen and view any channel with yellow bars in the
  3. your patient would complain of not hearing because the hearing aid would automatically reduce all gain
  4. your frequency response graphs would be dramatically and automatically cut after initialization
  5. A & B
9.  Strategic Feedback Control allows us to use a new process for making in the ear shells. What is this called?
  1. Comfortable Creation
  2. Custom Comfort Fit
  3. Slick Shell Design
  4. Negative Build Process 2009
10.  With the Impulse Technology release, what is the most powerful matrix available in RIC and Custom hearing aids?
  1. 131/71
  2. 123/60
  3. 120/55
  4. 115/45
  5. 110/40
