Neurocognitive Brain Changes in Hearing Loss, in partnership with American Auditory Society

---

1.  Cross-modal plasticity in hearing loss occurs: From the visual modality From the somatosensory modality In mild-moderate hearing loss All of the above

2.  Which additional brain areas are recruited in mild-moderate hearing loss for speech processing? Frontal and prefrontal cortex Hippocampal cortex Parahippocampal cortex Rhinal cortex

3.  Mild-moderate age-related hearing loss may result in which of the following? Cross-modal recruitment from vision Frontal and pre-frontal activation Decreased stimulation of auditory cortical areas All of the above

4.  Cross-modal re-organization in mild-moderate hearing loss can be reversed by which of the following? Microsurgery Appropriate fitting of hearing aids A period of sensory deprivation By social emotional therapy
