GSI AMTAS: Automated Hearing Assessment

---

1.  AMTAS includes the following tests: Air and Bone conduction with Masking SRT and Word Recognition with Masking Both A and B QuickSIN and BKB-SIN

2.  Automated audiometric testing has been around for many years. The following sets AMTAS apart from all other automated tests: 9 Quality indicators that predict the accuracy of the test results Classification of Audiometric findings 2 report formats All of the above

3.  AMTAS can boost efficiency by: Replacing the Audiologist Providing an accurate way to obtain a basic diagnostic hearing test Fitting hearing aids None of the above

4.  Bone conduction audiometry using AMTAS requires: Mastoid placement of the bone oscillator Forehead placement of the bone oscillator It is not possible to perform bone conduction with AMTAS All of the above

5.  During the AMTAS evaluation, masking noise is: Always present Never present Sometimes present None of the above

6.  The following are Quality Indicators that appear on the AMTAS report: False Alarm Rate Masker Alerts Predicted Accuracy All of the Above

7.  Advantages of utilizing AMTAS are: Optimizes use of audiologists' time Eliminates the need for tympanometry The audiologist will never have to perform audiometry. All of the above

8.  AMTAS can be utilized: For Annual Hearing Evaluations For initial and basic air/bone/speech evaluations To manage more than one patient at the same appointment time All of the above

9.  Overall Predicted Accuracy is: A summary measure that appears on the AMTAS report that classifies the test results as Good, Fair or Poor. A judgment the audiologist makes of how the patient performed the test after looking at the audiometric results obtained with AMTAS. Both A and B None of the above

10.  The audiologist may have to repeat the audiometric testing when: The overall predicted accuracy is poor. When there is a masking dilemma Both A and B None of the above
