6.  An advantage of a combined OAE and AABR hearing screening approach is: Lower failure rate Detection of different types of auditory dysfunction Earlier and more appropriate intervention All of the above are advantages of a combined OAE and AABR hearing screening approach

7.  A typical strategy for hearing screening in well baby populations is AABR first with OAE screening if the AABR outcome is REFER OAE first with AABR screening if the OAE outcome is REFER OAE and AABR screening of all infants Defer OAE and AABR hearing screening until first visit to the child's pediatrician

8.  JCIH (2007) recommends the following strategy for hearing screening in the NICU: AABR first with OAE screening if the AABR outcome is REFER OAE first with AABR screening if the OAE outcome is REFER OAE and AABR screening of all infants Defer OAE and AABR hearing screening until first visit to the child's pediatrician

9.  Which of the following best describes REFER rates for WBN versus NICU populations REFER rates are higher for the WBN population REFER rates are higher for the NICU population REFER rates are equivalent for the WBN and NICU populations REFER rates are only available for the WBN and not for the NICU population

10.  A combined OAE/AABR approach for hearing screening can be followed In the well baby nursery In the NICU At a follow up visit in an audiology clinic Combined OAE/AABR approach can be followed in all of the above settings
