Complex Pediatric Cases

---

1.  The goals of technology are to: Reduce sensory deprivation Maximize use of residual hearing Provide input for auditory learning All of the above

2.  Auditory access includes: Providing access for language learning, academic learning and socialization. Provide access for language learning, socialization, and artistic development. Provide access for academic, social learning and physical development. Academic learning and artistic and physical development

3.  Suggested scoring for speech perception (Madell et. al., 2010) of an excellent score is: 100% 90-100% 80-89% None of the above

4.  When evaluating a child with mild hearing loss: Assess speech perception in difficult to listen conditions. Consider technology – including remote microphone systems. Counsel family about the necessity to hear in many situations include the need for overhearing for incidental learning for developing language. All of the above

5.  In case four, Connor was diagnosed with which disorder? ADD APD ADHD None of the above

6.  What are some of the outcomes of a successful technology fitting? Eliminate auditory neural sensory deprivation. Access auditory information for the stimulation and development of neural pathways for cognitive growth. Improve auditory brain access to spoken language. All of the above

7.  Undiagnosed pediatric hearing loss can include behaviors which are similar to all of the following disorder EXCEPT: Apraxia Autism Spectrum Disorder Cerebral Palsy Attention Deficit Disorder

8.  For which children should additional testing (such as imaging, EKG, genetic testing, ophthalmological testing) be considered? All children except those with mild hearing loss. Only children with severe or profound hearing loss. All children whose cause of hearing loss is unknown. Only those children with visible ear malformations.

9.  Which of the following are essential when developing an audiological assessment plan for young children? Unaided behavioral air and bone thresholds. Age appropriate aided speech perception testing. Parent and therapist input concerning child’s speech and language progress. All of the above

10.  If technology and intervention are appropriate, the language of children with hearing loss: Should show 6 to 12 months’ growth in 1 year’s time. Should show a minimum of 1 year’s growth in 1 year’s time. Will be expected to lag behind their peers. Will be expected to exceed their peers.
