Verification & Counseling of Digital Hearing Instruments with the AURICAL PMM System

---

1.  Verification of hearing instruments provides the following advantages: Provides objective information regarding the accuracy of the fit Helps to improve overall satisfaction/success with the hearing instrument(s) Minimizes the number of return visits All of the above

2.  Validation provides An objective way to measure the fitting A subjective way to measure the outcome of the fitting An objective measure of the gain None of the above

3.  The fitting formula DSL 5 takes into account such variables as: Gender Age of onset of hearing loss Listening environment B & C None of Above

4.  The fitting formula NAL-NL2 takes into account such variables as: Gender Level of experience Language All of the above

5.  The AURICAL PMM equipment provides: Wireless functionality Binaural measurement capability Speech mapping access OnTarget fit assist tool All of the above

6.  A probe microphone measure ending in the letter "R" refers to: A dB difference value A dB SPL absolute response value A gain value None of the above

7.  Coupler based fittings should be conducted if: You are fitting a young child or an uncooperative adult You want to speed up the fitting & verification process You want to improve the efficiency of your fittings All of the above

8.  The REOR provides information regarding: Overall gain of the hearing instrument Maximum output of the hearing instrument The occluded response and the "openness" of the fitting Directional microphone functionality

9.  Placing the probe microphone too shallow in the ear canal with result in: No difference in the measurements Will overestimate the low frequency gain Will underestimate the low frequency gain Will underestimate the high frequency gain

10.  Noise reduction algorithms can be verified and demonstrated utilizing: A short swept tone A steady-state signal such as pink noise A speech-like signal All of the above
