Oticon Medical Ponto 3 and Genie Medical: Fitting Aspects

---

1.  Pick the correct fitting flow for a Ponto patient: Select instrument, Measure BC in-situ, Measure Feedback Limit, End fitting Select Instrument, Measure feedback limit, End Fitting Select Instrument, Select type of fitting, Measure feedback limit, Measure BC in-situ, End fitting None of the above

2.  What fitting mode is used when fitting an SSD patient on a Softband? Only the SSD fitting mode Only the Soft band fitting mode Select neither Select both the SSD fitting mode and the Softband fitting mode

3.  If the Soft band fitting mode is selected, Genie Medical will: Apply less low frequency gain when calculating prescription Do nothing Calculate the gain settings with a correction factor for skin attenuation applied to the audiometric data. Decrease high frequency gain in the calculated prescription

4.  If SSD fitting mode is selected, then: High frequency gain is increased to overcome transcranial attenuation of high frequencies and low frequency gain is decreased as it is not affected by head shadow Gain overall is decreased to overcome transcranial attenuation Low frequency gain is increased A and C

5.  Auto tri-mode automatically switches between: Surround mode and Full Directional mode based on the environmental sound level. Surround, Split Directional and Full Directional mode based on the environmental sound level and the mode with the best SNR Program 1 and 2 Speech Omni, Opti Omni and Full Directional mode

6.  Speech Focused Mode: educes the gain at all frequencies Is a Surround mode, which applies directionality at high frequencies to enhance focus on the source of interest, while keeping environmental input from all directions. Is automatically selected when the patient is in a very noisy environment Increases the gain at all frequencies

7.  Opti-Omni: Applies directionality to high frequencies Is optimized for speech frequencies Is a fully omnidirectional mode None of the above

8.  After conducting running the Feedback Manager you notice the feedback limit is very low, what do you do next? Do nothing Ensure DFC is off Check abutment length, connection with abutment, and position of processor ensuring it's not in contact with the skull, rerun Feedback Manager None of the above

9.  If BC in-situ is not undertaken and audiogram results are not inputted then: Prescription settings will be based on a 0 dB HL threshold average Genie Medical will not allow the clinician to proceed Prescription settings will be based on a 50 dB HL threshold average None of the above

10.  BC in-situ allows for more accurate prescription settings when compared to using diagnostic audiometry results because: Individual variations in skin and subcutaneous tissue are taken into account A much wider frequency range can be tested Placement of vibrator and individual variations in head mass and impedance are taken into account All of the above
