Red Flags: Barriers to Optimal Auditory Development - Part I (Professionals)

---

1.  Which of the following is NOT a basic behavioral red flag indicating a serious need to review a young child’s technology and its settings? Hypersensitivity to sound Involuntary eye blink or facial stimulation No response to sound Removal of the technology in the car seat Resistance to wearing the technology

2.  In the survey completed by the presenters, professionals stated that the most common reason for poor performance was: The type of technology and technology settings The lack of parent follow through with intervention Inappropriate speech, language, or educational intervention Additional, undiagnosed learning difficulties with the child

3.  In the survey completed by the presenters, they found that the professional who have the highest expectations for early speech and language development of children with hearing loss are: Audiologists and AVTs Teachers of the Deaf and AVTs Audiologists and SLPs SLPs and Teachers of the Deaf SLPs and AVTs

4.  If a child’s voice is consistently too loud, this may indicate that audiologists needs to: Increase the amplification provided by the hearing aid(s) or the cochlear implant(s) Decrease the amplification provided by the hearing aid(s) or the cochlear implant(s) Increase the amplification provided by the hearing aid(s) or decrease the stimulation provided by the cochlear implant(s) Decrease the amplification provided by the hearing aid(s) or Increase the stimulation provided by the cochlear implant(s)

5.  Which one of following provides little information about a patient’s speech perception abilities with a hearing aid? Real ear measurement Aided single word testing Aided sentence testing Aided speech in noise testing Phoneme testing

6.  Which of the following provides little information about a patient’s speech perception abilities with a cochlear implant? An integrity test Aided single word testing Aided sentence testing Aided speech in noise testing Phoneme testing

7.  Which of the following is NOT true? When the hearing technology is balanced between the ears, the patients will not be able to tell which ear is louder. Binaural interference can occur if the signal provided by the technology on one ear is significantly poorer than the signal provided by the technology on the other ear. When the signal provided by the technology on one ear is significantly louder than the signal provided by the technology on the other ear, the louder signal may interfere with the ability to perceive the quieter signal in the opposite ear. Binaural summation occurs with hearing aids, but not with cochlear implants.

8.  Which of the following is NOT true? Audiologists should provide detailed information about a child’s speech perception with technology. AVTs, SLPs, and teachers of the deaf should keep detailed records of child’s auditory responses and speech and language development. Parents’ observations should only be accepted after a professional has documented the same behavior. A child is best served when the parents and all the professionals collaborate.

9.  A child with 3 months of appropriate auditory access would be expected to have which of the following skills: Respond to their name Comprehend simple sentences Produce a fricative All of the above

10.  A red flag for intervention would be: The child is an excellent lipreader There are no test scores for language The child demonstrates elongated speech patterns All of the above
