1.  Which of the following methods may be used to evaluate PSAPs?
  1. Electroacoustic analysis
  2. Probe-mic measurements
  3. Listening check
  4. Combination of any of the above
2.  In terms of ability to meet prescribed real-ear targets PSAP vs hearing aid probe-mic performance data suggests:
  1. Hearing aids outperform PSAPs overall.
  2. PSAPs outperform hearing aids overall.
  3. Hearing aid and PSAPs performance is the same.
  4. PSAPs perform as well as hearing aids for any configuration not exceeding mild degrees of hearing loss.
3.  Based on the most current research, when criteria for meeting NAL-NL2 targets is defined as within +/- 5 dB, what is the greatest degree of hearing loss some PSAPs could potentially accommodate?
  1. Up to a mild hearing loss.
  2. Up to a moderate hearing loss.
  3. Up to a moderately-severe hearing loss.
  4. Up to a severe hearing loss.
4.  According to this presentation, out-of-box PSAP testing involved:
  1. Subjectively evaluating product aesthetic appeal based on device packaging.
  2. Listening check of device when first turned on as packaged.
  3. Objective assessment of baseline amplification with device turned off and as packaged.
  4. Objective assessment of baseline amplification with device turned on and as packaged
5.  Rather than referring to PSAPs as "low-end" versus "high-end" based on retail price, it was suggested to categorize devices according to:
  1. Form-factor
  2. Form-factor and features
  3. Features
  4. Size
6.  When looking at PSAP criteria, those scoring higher than ___% will be categorized as a "go" or shaded green.
  1. 50%
  2. 75%
  3. 88%
  4. None of the above
7.  When looking at PSAP criteria, those scoring between ____% will be categorized with a cautionary yellow indicating they did not meet the minimum NAL-NL2 targets.
  1. 50-60%
  2. 60-70%
  3. 75-88%
  4. None of the above
8.  When looking at PSAP criteria, those scoring lower than ____% will be categorized with the color red, indicating they did not match any of the NAL-NL2 targets.
  1. 95%
  2. 85%
  3. 75%
  4. None of the above
9.  What percentage of clinicians indicated they would NOT offer PSAPs?
  1. 29.77%
  2. 50%
  3. 75%
  4. 100%
10.  If a PSAP has been documented to match NAL-NL2 targets for a specific audiometric configuration, it means:
  1. That device may potentially be appropriate for an adult with the same audiometric configuration.
  2. Any adult exhibiting the same audiometric configuration will benefit from that PSAP.
  3. That device is not appropriate for an adult with the same audiometric configuration.
  4. None of the above
