Navigating Patients Through Technology to Outcomes

---

1.  Brain Hearing refers to: The type of sound digitization employed on the Velox S platform Patient training techniques that we employ to overcome the limitations of amplification Our approach to developing signal processing to combat the effects of hearing loss The name of our digital platform

2.  In a complex sound environment, the brain can handle: Only one talker at a time More than one source of sounds as long as the information provided is clear Sources from behind better than sources from the sides None of the above

3.  Noise Reduction systems on the Velox S™ and Polaris™ platforms can: Make everything really quiet Only work when paired with Speech rescue LX Quickly and effectively attenuate noise even between words Only work when paired with Spatial Sound

4.  The recognition of hearing impairment by the typical adult: Is always immediate Always occurs by the family first May be gradual and confused by other factors Is always suppressed by the subconscious

5.  Open Sound Navigator contains the following stages: Analysis, Balance, and Noise Removal Analysis, Synthesis and Noise Removal Synthesis, Balance and Noise removal None of the above

6.  Oticon’s approach to noise reduction and directionality: Closes down the sound environment focusing on only one speaker in front Gives access to all speaker in the listening environment Gives access to speakers within six feet of the listener Closes down the sound environment focusing on any speaker in front

7.  What is the single most important factor to hearing aid users: Ease of use Comfort Sound Quality Price

8.  When discussing technology with patients, professionals should: Focus on the details of the digital platform Emphasize the real-life problems that BrainHearing technologies address Use highly technical descriptions of technology block diagrams Describe where technical names for technologies come from

9.  How does MoreSound Intelligence™ offer more accuracy and precision for signal processing decisions in Oticon More™ over OpenSound Navigator™ in Opn S™? It utilizes a highly trained onboard Deep Neural Network The technology is on a new platform called Polaris It uses a cloud-based machine intelligence algorithm It has an advanced noise reduction algorithm

10.  To explain audiological features to their patients, providers must Use technical data so the patient knows the features are impressive Use simple terms and explain the benefits of the features Open up the instruments and point of the various components Insist on having a family member accompany the patient
