Cochlear Implant Concepts for Non-programming Professionals

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


1.  If a child has more residual hearing, you would expect his MAP levels to
  1. Require less current than average
  2. Require more current than average
  3. Be unrelated to the amount of residual hearing
  4. None of the above
2.  If a child is unable to consistently provide behavioral responses, what other options are available for programming their cochlear implant?
  1. AutoNRT
  2. Electrical Stapedial Reflex Testing (ESRT)
  3. Electrical ABR (eABR)
  4. All of the above
3.  Remote measurement and reporting of information is...
  1. Compliance
  2. Telemetry
  3. Short Circuits
  4. Resistance
4.  When an electrode is "out of compliance" the device is...
  1. Unable to provide the amount of power being requested from the device
  2. Faulty
  3. Able to provide better battery life
  4. Able to provide better sound quality
5.  The sensitivity control
  1. Controls the softest level of sound allowed in the processor
  2. Default 12
  3. Sometimes fixed in children
  4. All of the above
6.  If the sensitivity is set too high (above 12) then
  1. Soft sounds will not be heard and loud sounds will be more compressed
  2. Soft sounds will be heard and loud sounds will be more compressed
  3. Soft sounds will not be heard and loud sounds will not be compressed
  4. Soft sounds will be heard and loud sounds will not be compressed
7.  What SmartSound® option is recommended for dynamic FM?
  1. No SmartSound
  2. ADRO
  3. ADRO + ASC
  4. ADRO+ASC+BEAM
8.  What is the desired range for soundfield thresholds when verifying a MAP?
  1. You cannot measure soundfield thresholds with a cochlear implant
  2. Between 0 and 20 dB
  3. Better than 34 dB
  4. Anything within the speech banana
9.  A child is not producing a final /s/ sound, what changes should be made?
  1. Determine if this is a productive or perceptive error
  2. Adjust the threshold levels on high frequency electrodes
  3. Request an integrity test
  4. Listen to sound processor microphone using monitor earphones
  5. A and D only
10.  The most common sound coding strategy available with the Nucleus devices (Nucleus24, Freedom and Nucleus 5) is
  1. ADRO
  2. ASC
  3. ACE
  4. Whisper
