Ponto 3 SuperPower, New Treatment Option to BAHS Patients

---

1.  Ponto 3 SuperPower is the most powerful abutment level BAHS, its maximum output is typically: Below any BAHS patient's LDL (Loudness Discomfort Level) Higher than most BAHS patient's LDL One never know, one have to judge the max output setting in every fitting None of the above are true

2.  Which of the following describes the best who can benefit from a Ponto 3 SuperPower sound processor? Patients with any degree of mixed hearing losses All BAHS patients (BC up to 65 dB HL) Only patients with large mixed hearing losses (40-65 dB HL (BC)) Patients who find their own device too weak

3.  Automatic directionality systems change between being in Surround, Split-directional and Full-directionality modes, which mode is automatically most often activated? Surround mode Split directional mode Full directional mode One can't tell as it is different from patient to patient

4.  The FreeFocus directionality system improves speech understanding by 15% when the sound processor's automatic directionality system is in its: Full directional mode Split directional mode Surround mode All of the above

5.  Fitting the SuperPower device includes? Measuring the BC In-situ threshold Measuring the feedback limit and the hereafter the BC In-situ threshold Measuring the BC In-situ threshold and hereafter the feedback limit None of the above is needed

6.  What will patients with moderate mixed hearing losses typically tell when fitted with Ponto 3 SuperPower? It sounds so much louder It sounds clearer It sounds too weak None of the above

7.  Which fitting rationale is new for BAHS? DSL-BC NAL NL-1 IHAFF None of the above

8.  The DSL-BC rationale is available in the following Ponto devices: The Ponto Plus family All Ponto devices Only the new Ponto 3 devices Only the Power and SuperPower models

9.  Which of the following describes what FLogram illustrates? The patient's auditory dynamic range when using the sound processor on abutment How much speech spectrum is amplified The patient's BC hearing threshold level as measured in force level (dBuN) All of the above

10.  What is the intent of FLogram? To improve the prescription of gain To make it easy to judge audibility To improve the prescription of output None of the above
