1.  In a complex sound environment, the brain can handle:
  1. Only one talker at a time
  2. More than one source of sounds if the information provided is clear
  3. Sources from behind better than sources from the sides
  4. Sources from the sides better than in front
2.  BrainHearing refers to:
  1. The type of sound digitization employed on the Velox S platform
  2. Patient training techniques that we employ to overcome the limitations of amplification
  3. Our approach to developing signal processing to combat the effects of hearing loss
  4. The name of our digital platform
3.  Conventional technology provides the brain:
  1. Full access to the sound scene
  2. Limited access to the sound scene
  3. More details of the speech signal
  4. Better access to speech behind the listener
4.  Groundbreaking EEG research shows Oticon Opn S provides:
  1. Better conditions for the brain to organize and prioritize sounds naturally
  2. Less access to speech all around the listener
  3. The same conditions for the brain to organize sound as conventional technology
  4. Less access to speech in front of the listener
5.  This new research more specifically maps out the brain’s processing in the:
  1. Visual cortex
  2. Temporal lobe
  3. Frontal lobe
  4. Auditory cortex
6.  Oticon has been involved in research looking into how the brain interprets sound for over:
  1. 10 years
  2. 20 years
  3. 30 years
  4. 40 years
7.  The four key areas a hearing should address to optimally support the brain are:
  1. Access, audibility, directionality and noise reduction
  2. Audibility, flexibility, full sound and directionality
  3. Access, precision, audibility and flexibility
  4. Precision, flexibility, audibility and full sound
8.  To make sense of sound, the brain needs:
  1. A good neural code
  2. A good sound scene
  3. A suppressed sound scene
  4. A good sound picture
9.  The two subsystems that work together in the auditory cortex are:
  1. Focus and recognize
  2. Orient and recognize
  3. Orient and focus
  4. Orient and separate
10.  At Oticon, we design our products to meet the needs of:
  1. Adult patients only
  2. A broad range of patients
  3. All patients except children
  4. Many patient in a practice
