Optimize Patient Outcomes Through Combinations of Acoustic and Electric Stimulation

---

1.  Ipsilateral electric plus acoustic stimulation (EAS) is possible with Cochlear BTE sound processors by: Having a new surgery to replace the internal implant. Purchasing a special Hybrid Sound Processor. Fitting a hearing aid on the opposite ear. Ordering a compatible receiver-in-the-ear attachment from Cochlear and programming the sound processor in Custom Sound Pro.

2.  Bimodal stimulation for Cochlear recipients is possible when the contralateral ear has been fit with which of the following? Any hearing aid that is fit appropriately but direct linking capability requires a compatible ReSound hearing aid. A softband bone conduction sound processor A Cochlear Osia sound processor Only the ReSound Quattro

3.  What is the appropriate treatment of unilateral hearing loss? Bilateral amplification. Bilateral cochlear implants. The best treatment is dependent on the etiology, degree of hearing loss, and length of time since the loss occurred. Pending medical evaluation, treatment may include amplification, a bone conduction solution or a cochlear implant. Osia on one ear and cochlear implant on the other ear

4.  What is the appropriate treatment of single-sided deafness? Bilateral amplification. The best treatment is dependent on the etiology, degree of hearing loss, and length of time since the loss occurred. Pending medical evaluation, treatment may include amplification, a bone conduction solution or a cochlear implant. Bilateral cochlear implants. Osia on one ear and cochlear implant on the other ear.

5.  The Cochlear™ Baha® System and the Cochlear™ Osia® System are examples of which of the following? Bone conduction solutions for patients diagnosed with UHL and SSD among other diagnoses. A service that programs repaired sound processors before they are sent to patients. A system of reimbursement codes. Cochlear’s Formula One racing teams
