Connecting Patients to Their Favorite Activities Using the ReSound Multi and Micro Mics

---

1.  What is the range of the ReSound Multi and Micro Mics? 30 Feet in clear line of sight 90 feet in clear line of sight 10 feet of thick walls 500 miles of walking distance

2.  What key factor, which can provide the equivalent of +5 SNR benefit in speech understanding, is nearly absent in all car environments? Visual Cues Frequency lowering Ear horns Wide Dynamic Range Compression

3.  In lecture and classroom environments, one key environmental factor is easily overcome using a remote microphone even when performance with directional microphones falls out. Which factor is it? Speaker's accent Low noise levels Multiple Talkers Distance

4.  Which of these programming strategies will be effective at decreasing input from the hearing aid microphones while increasing input from the remote microphone? Sliding the microphone balance towards the hearing aid microphones Sliding the microphone balance towards the remote microphone Turning the remote microphone off Turning on noise reduction

5.  Remote Microphones provide significant advantages over directional microphones in noise by providing what significant advantage? Improved Signal-to-Noise Ratio By looking cool Improving Noise Reduction Increasing low frequency gain

6.  To decrease the impact of road noise, what programming strategy should be taken for patients that typically use their Multi Mic in the car? Increase wideband soft input gain Decrease low frequency (below 1000 Hz) gain Turn directionality on to "fixed directionality" in streaming program Turn hearing aids off

7.  When programming the Multi Mic for lecture and classroom settings, what are some programming considerations that could improve speech understanding? Slide mic balance towards Multi Mic Turn on expansion to reduce room noise Decreasing overall gain Both A & B

8.  When using the Multi Mic with a large group, setting the Multi Mic horizontally on a flat surface will enable what? Microphone directionality Airplane Mode Table Mode Microphone Mute

9.  Typical physical characteristics of classrooms can add an additional characteristic to background noise that can impede speech understanding. What is it? Classmate distractions Reverberation Visual aids Running car noise

10.  The new ReSound Multi Mic has been shown in research testing to improve the Signal-to-Noise Ratio by how much over directional microphones on Speech Reception Threshold measures? 5 dB of additional benefit 10 dB of additional benefit 15 dB of additional benefit 15 dB of decreased benefit
