A Better Fit Starts Inside: How BC Drive Transducer Technology in the Baha 5 System Helps Clinicians Confidently Fit More Patients with Bone Conduction

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


1.  What benefit does BC Drive transducer technology offer over the traditional transducer design?
  1. Increased reliability and robustness
  2. Improved power to size ratio of the transducer
  3. Lower distortion in the low frequencies
  4. All of the above
2.  Why might a patient might reject a bone conduction solution?
  1. Lack of discreetness
  2. Insufficient gain
  3. Poor sound quality
  4. All of the above
3.  BC Drive technology enables a _% reduction in processor size compared with the previous generation.
  1. 15%
  2. 45%
  3. 20%
  4. None of the above
4.  What can limit the available gain when fitting patients with more significant mixed hearing loss?
  1. Skull radiation
  2. Acoustical feedback caused by the close proximity of the microphones near the transducer
  3. The Maximum Power Output of a processor
  4. All of the above
5.  The BC Drive transducer used in the Baha 5 Sound Processor is ______ the transducers used in the Baha 5 Power and SuperPower sound processors.
  1. larger than
  2. smaller than
  3. the same size as
  4. newer than
6.  Baha 5 Sound Processors are compatible with which system(s):
  1. Only the percutaneous system Baha Connect
  2. Only the transcutaneous system Baha Attract
  3. Both Baha Connect, Baha Attract, but not Baha Softband or Baha SoundArc
  4. Both Baha Connect and Baha Attract, as well as Baha Softband and Baha SoundArc
7.  How much more high frequency gain does the Baha Attract system offer when using Baha 5 SuperPower compared with the previous generation power device?
  1. Up to 10 dB more
  2. Up to 20 dB more
  3. Up to 35 dB more
  4. Up to 55 dB more
8.  What is a key advantage of fitting the Baha 5 System to patients with mixed hearing loss?
  1. Maximum power across the entire frequency range with lower distortion
  2. Increased battery life
  3. Smaller sized processors
  4. All of the above
9.  What is the design feature in Baha 5 SuperPower that is responsible for providing greater headroom for fitting?
  1. A powerful rechargeable battery to drive the transducer
  2. High power 675 Implant Plus batteries drive the transducer
  3. Split design separates the microphones from the transducer reducing the risk of gain limiting feedback
  4. Both A and C
