Noise is No Problem for Axio ST

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


1.  What is not a component of the Axio ST comprehensive noise management system?
  1. Dynamic Directional Detection
  2. Verify Comfort
  3. Acoustic Landscapes
  4. Strategic Feedback Control
2.  Positive SNR means
  1. Noise is louder than speech
  2. Speech is louder than noise
  3. Feedback is louder than noise
  4. Both speech and noise are equal
3.  In the original Axio product, the Speech in Noise classification began automatic gain adaptation when:
  1. The patient pushed the button
  2. The SNR was 0 dB or worse
  3. The SNR was -9 dB or worse
  4. Speech and noise were both present and the SNR was not a factor
4.  Gain adaptation for the Acoustic Landscapes is
  1. Typically slow
  2. Focused on providing comfort
  3. Only when the situation was already too bad for good communication
  4. A and C
  5. All of the above
5.  Speech Trax
  1. Functions in positive SNR
  2. Is very slow acting
  3. Provides more gain adaptation than Acoustic Landscapes
  4. Is just a marketing term
6.  To attack noise found in the gaps of speech, Speech Trax must
  1. Be very fast
  2. User an accurate SNR calculation
  3. Use an accurate Voice Detection algorithm
  4. A and B
  5. All of the above
7.  The advantage of functioning at positive SNR values is
  1. The work gets done sooner
  2. The focus on speech preservation in a wider range of environments
  3. Providing comfortable, easing communication in more environments
  4. Very little
  5. B and C
8.  Axio ST is offered in which technology levels
  1. 32, 24, 16
  2. 32 only
  3. 24 and 16
  4. 16 only
9.  Wind and Speech Trax
  1. Can both be on and functioning at the same time but in different channels
  2. Do not work together
  3. Are mutually exclusive
  4. Are always on and adapting
10.  While Quiet Acoustic Landscape works ____________ the default compression threshold, Speech Trax works__________________
  1. At; below the default compression thresholds
  2. Below; above the MPO setting
  3. Below; above the default compression thresholds
  4. None of the above
