---

1.  The first attempt at masking a good ear was made in 1876 by? Sir Isaac Newton Robert Barany Abraham Lincoln None of the Above

2.  Effective Masking Level is described as: The relation between the sounds ability to mask and its loudness. The SNR at which a threshold is shifted. The difference in decibels of the level of a tone and the level of a noise that just masks the tone. None of the Above

3.  If we want to cover up a tone, the NBN has to be _____ than the tone. The same level Softer Louder None of the Above

4.  EMLs are measured in ___ on your audiometer? dBHL dBA dBEM dBSPL

5.  Pure Tones should not be used in the sound field because? They produce standing waves. They cannot be calibrated through the speakers. Pediatric patients don't like them. None of the Above

6.  Harvey, Dillon and Burke found that widening band width (NBN): Does not affect specificity of detecting thresholds Hearing loss at a specific threshold will be overestimated Hearing loss at a specific threshold will be underestimated unless the threshold is flat across frequencies. None of the Above

7.  The FRESH in FRESH noise stands for? Frequency Special Hearing Noise Frequent Spots for Hearing in Noise Frequency Specific Hearing Assessment Noise None of the Above

8.  Aided results obtained with WPT were consistent with those obtained with _____________ , so these stimuli are interchangeable. FRESH noise pink noise narrowband noise None of the Above

9.  Aided thresholds obtained using NBN are _______ those obtained with WPT or FRESH noise. worse than better than the same as more accurate than

10.  If I do not have FRESH noise on my audiometer I will always use _________ to mark thresholds and not NBN. White Noise NBN WPT None of the Above
