Cortical Auditory Evoked Potentials Reveal Changes in Audibility with Amplification: Clinical Implications, presented in partnership with Seminars in Hearing

View Course Details Please note: exam questions are subject to change.


1.  Cortical auditory evoked potentials (CAEPs) can be evoked by:
  1. Clicks
  2. Tone bursts
  3. Vowels and consonants
  4. All of the above
2.  CAEPs can be detected in:
  1. Infants and children with normal hearing
  2. Infants and children with sensorineural hearing loss
  3. Infants and children with auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder
  4. All of the above
3.  CAEPs can be measured in:
  1. Infants who are awake
  2. Infants who are asleep
  3. Children who are asleep
  4. A and B
4.  CAEPs correlate with functional hearing in:
  1. Children with sensorineural hearing loss
  2. Children with auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder
  3. Children with hearing loss who have additional disabilities
  4. All of the above
5.  The detection rate of CAEPs increases with:
  1. Higher sensation level of the stimuli in children with sensorineural hearing loss
  2. Higher sensation level of the stimuli in some children with auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder
  3. Repetition of the stimuli
  4. A and B
6.  Activation of nonlinear frequency compression is associated with:
  1. Increase in sensation level at high frequencies
  2. Increase in sensation level at low frequencies
  3. Decrease in sensation level at high frequencies
  4. Decrease in sensation level at low frequencies
7.  Activation of nonlinear frequency compression is associated with:
  1. Increase in the presence of CAEPs at high frequencies
  2. Increase in the presence of CAEPs at low frequencies
  3. Decrease in the presence of CAEPs at high frequencies
  4. Decrease in the presence of CAEPs at low frequencies
8.  The current evidence suggest that:
  1. CAEPs may be used for evaluation of some signal processing schemes in hearing aids for young children
  2. CAEPs may be used for evaluation of the effectiveness of hearing aids in providing audibility
  3. CAEPs are correlated with functional hearing ability of infants and children with hearing loss
  4. All of the above
9.  Clinical applications of CAEPs currently include:
  1. Checking audibility of sounds with amplification
  2. Checking audibility of sounds without amplification
  3. Checking discrimination of sounds with amplification
  4. A and B
10.  The effectiveness of hearing aids for young children can be evaluated using:
  1. CAEP assessment
  2. Functional performance rating by parents
  3. A or B
  4. A and B
