2.  What are the 3 core fundamentals of development Oticon Medical uses for delivering Ponto Sound Quality? Output, Bandwidth, and Clarity Processor colors, Output, and Clarity Output, Processor colors, and Bandwidth Processor colors, Bandwidth, and, Clarity

3.  What does MFO stand for? Minimal Force Output Maximum Force Output Maximum Frequency Output Minimal Frequency Output

4.  Who would benefit from Ponto 3 SuperPower fitting range? Only patients with severe conductive/mixed hearing losses Only patients with minimal conductive/mixed hearing losses Only patients with single sided deafness All of the above

5.  By fitting more patient's with higher MFO, we are likely to; Increase the patient's hearing dynamic range Over-amplify via bone conduction Risk saturation of signal Increase the need for the patient to need multiple programs

6.  What are the two components of the Ponto's feedback management system? Gain reduction and phase inversion Gain reduction and frequency shift Phase inversion and frequency shift The Ponto does not have a feedback management system

7.  Which statement is correct when comparing abutment to magnetic or softband bone anchored hearing systems options? There are no differences in output between abutment and non-abutment wearing options The effects of skin drive causes the need for higher drive force above 1000 Hz Studies have shown a significant improvement in word recall in patients with an abutment device compared to patients using a softband device Both B and C

8.  Which of the following statements is false in regards to Max Force Output (MFO) and the Ponto 3 SuperPower MFO is below patient's loudness discomfort level Gain is prescribed according to the hearing loss and can be prescribed low enough, for any degree of hearing loss Higher MFO means better utilization of the patient's dynamic range There is a risk of over-fitting
