  4. Noise tranquility
2.  Positive SNR means
  1. noise is louder than speech
  2. speech is louder than feedback
  3. feedback is louder than noise
  4. speech is louder than noise
3.  In the original NOW series products, 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, the SNR was not a factor
4.  Gain adaptation for the traditional NOW Series PersoniFi algorithm is
  1. typically slow
  2. focused on providing comfort
  3. only when the situation was already too bad for good communication
  4. All of the above
  5. A and C
5.  Noise tranquility
  1. functions at positive SNRs
  2. is very slow acting
  3. provides more gain adaptation than ClassiFi EA
  4. is a mindless marketing term
6.  To attack noise found in the gaps of speech, Noise Tranquility must
  1. be very fast
  2. use 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
