Personal Protection Equipment and Students with Hearing Loss

---

1.  Personal protection equipment (PPE) includes the following: Surgical and fabric masks KN95 masks Face shields All of the above

2.  Face masks attenuate which of the following frequencies? Low frequencies Mid frequencies High frequencies All frequencies

3.  Which face mask has the greatest impact on dampening loudness and frequency response? Fabric mask KN95 mask Surgery mask All of the above

4.  Speech is reflected most when using the following PPE: KN95 Fabric mask Face shield All of the above

5.  The Speech Intelligibility Index is a measure that can be summarized as: The amount of speech that is available to the listener Speech understanding Speech recognition All of the above

6.  The Speech Intelligibility Index is expressed as a: Descriptor- poor, fair, good A grade of A, B, C A logarithmic scale As a number from 0 to 100

7.  Which PPE had the greatest impact on the Speech Intelligibility Index at three feet distance, with no remote microphone technology? Surgical mask Fabric mask KN95 mask Face shield

8.  In this study, the use of the EduMic remote microphone system with the face shield was shown to: Compensate for loss of loudness and dampening of high frequencies Had the same result as listening with no technology Had a poorer result than listening with no technology None of the above

9.  To assess the impact of PPE on functional listening experiences, the following test(s) is recommended. California Consonant Test and Plurals Test Personal Survey BKB-SIN None of the above

10.  The use of a boom microphone with a remote microphone system may not be recommended when using PPE because: The EduMic is adaptive and compensates for loud and soft voices May not be feasible to wear with a clear face shield The school budget may not support the purchase of boom microphones for every classroom teacher All of the above
