1.  Why might a cochlear implant be a better solution than hearing aids for a child with a severe to profound hearing loss? Powerful hearing aids may provide access to only part of the speech spectrum Cochlear implants can restore audibility across the frequency spectrum Language delays can persist for children who are not receiving a clear speech signal early in life All of the above

2.  Which of the following is a barrier to early implantation in children with severe to profound hearing loss? Timely referrals from educational professionals Identifying children with hearing loss by 3 months and fitting with hearing aids by 6 months Lack of awareness of cochlear implant candidacy Use of self-reported questionnaires to document auditory skill development

3.  Cochlear implant reliability is important because: Failure of a cochlear implant device requires more surgery New technology comes out every year Implant companies put it in their advertising Reliability is not important to most candidates

4.  The Mini Microphone 2+ provides performance in the classroom that is: Not as good as other remote microphone systems As good or better than other remote microphone systems Complicated to measure Much poorer than other remote microphone options

5.  Options for remote microphone hearing assistive technology (RM-HAT) available for the Kanso sound processor include: The Mini Microphone 2+ A universal receiver (ie, Euro Pin) connected through the Mini Microphone 2+ A & B None of the above

6.  The Ling 6-sound test is used primarily during remote microphone hearing assistive technology (RM-HAT) fittings to: Verify the speech recognition in noise through the RM-HAT Familiarize students with pictures Condition students to a listening task for further audiometric testing Verify the detection of sounds across the frequency range through the RM-HAT

7.  When fitting remote microphone hearing assistive technology (RM-HAT) to Nucleus devices, it is generally recommended the mixing ratio be set at _____ in order to provide equal input from the RM-HAT and the environmental microphone. 3:1 6:1 1:1 4:2

8.  Help in fitting remote microphone hearing assistive technology (RM-HAT) to children with Nucleus devices can be found in: Cochlear's website Cochlear's You Tube channel Wireless Technology in the Classroom Guide All of the above

9.  The Nucleus Smart app can be used with Nucleus 7 recipients in the classroom to: Visually verify that RM-HAT is connected and streaming Monitor the sound processor to ensure it is working Check the settings on the sound processor All of the above

10.  The advantage of Nucleus made for iPhone technology is that it allows students to connect to iOS devices with: A neckloop A phone clip No cables, wires or intermediary devices A small cable
