Using Outcome Measures to Optimize Pediatric Hearing Aid Fittings

---

1.  Outcome measures are an important part of a pediatric hearing aid fitting protocol because they: Provide a measure of how the child is progressing. Support collaboration with other professionals involved with the child. Allow for program evaluation. All of the above

2.  Questionnaires provide an evaluation of how the child performs in the real world and are considered: Objective Subjective Normative Reliable

3.  Measuring a childs aided detection of sounds in a sound booth is suitable for: Infants under 6 months of age. Children with severe developmental delay. Evaluating noise management. Understanding capacity in a controlled environment.

4.  The UWO PedAMP was developed for children aged: Less than 10 years. Less than 9 years. Less than 6 years. Less than 12 years.

5.  The Speech Intelligibility Index (SII) is the: Proportion of aided speech that is audible. Aided speech recognition score. Same as the Articulation Index. Frequency-specific fit-to-target

6.  The LittlEARs Auditory Questionnaire provides a measure of auditory development based on: Hearing level Language level Age Gender

7.  Auditory performance in quiet and noisy situations can be evaluated for children who wear hearing aids with the: Amplification Benefit Questionnaire LittlEARS Auditory Questionnaire PEACH UWO Plurals

8.  Daily hearing aid use time can be captured from the following tools: Datalogging Amplification Benefit Questionnaire PEACH All of the above

9.  One way to evaluate audibility of /s/ in pediatric hearing aid fittings is: Ling 6 HL LittlEARS Auditory Questionnaire PEACH Speech Intelligibility Index

10.  Evaluating the quality of the hearing aid fitting when interpreting outcome measures is important because: Hearing aids need to be fitted by 6 months. EHDI programs require it for quality improvement. Consistent hearing aid use is essential. Optimal fittings infer good outcomes.
