Clinical Verification of Ear Level FM Systems: Classroom & Personal Use Applications

---

1.  Which of the following is NOT a goal when fitting an FM or remote microphone hearing assistance technology? Audibility of the person wearing the FM transmitter Better telecoil performance Audibility of self Audibility of others

2.  ASHAs "Equal Output Approach" for fitting and monitoring FM systems was published in 1964 1974 1984 1994

3.  When testing FM systems that are intended for use in a classroom, the input setup prior to testing should be: HA only FM only HA+FM mode Any configuration the tester wants

4.  What is electroacoustic "transparency"? Aided listening is identical to unaided listening The settings of the hearing instrument are readily identifiable Equal inputs to the wireless microphone and the hearing aid microphone produce equal outputs Equal inputs to the wireless microphone and the hearing aid microphone verify FM advantage

5.  What does EHA/FM65SPL mean (as used in this course)? Electroacoustic evaluation of the hearing aid in FM+HA mode using 65dB SPL speech input Behavioral evaluation of the hearing aid in FM+HA mode using 65dB SPL speech input Electroacoustic evaluation of the FM transmitter in FM+HA mode using 65dB SPL speech input Electroacoustic evaluation of the hearing aid in FM+HA mode with FM muted using 65dB SPL speech input

6.  Which three frequencies are used to calculate transparency achievement? 500, 1000 and 2000 Hz 750, 1000 and 2000 Hz 1000, 2000 and 4000 Hz 1000, 1600 and 2500 Hz

7.  Which of the following is NOT one of the three speech discrimination tests that should be conducted during behavioral verification: Aided speech discrimination in quiet using normal conversational speech - hearing aid only Aided speech discrimination in 0 SNR noise babble using normal conversational speech - hearing aid only Aided speech discrimination in 0 SNR noise babble using normal conversation speech - FM+HA Aided speech discrimination in quiet using normal conversational speech - FM+HA

8.  On-Ear Verification of FM Only will likely need to be done for the following fitting conditions: Severe hearing loss fittings Open fittings Challenging cases Ski-slope losses

9.  Is the test box utilized when conducting the ON-EAR verification of FM only procedure described in this course: Yes No Sometimes At the discretion of the tester

10.  When conducting an On-Ear verification of FM, the Instrument menu on the Speechmap screen should be set to BTE+HA-4 FM CROS ITE
