1.  Which of the following is true about SHOEBOX’s software-based audiometer? A sound booth is not required to perform a clinically valid diagnostic hearing test. It allows you to perform in-clinic, mobile and remote diagnostic testing. Other than a laptop, all of the equipment a hearing care professional needs to conduct an advanced diagnostic hearing test is small enough to fit in a bag the size of a shoe box. All of the above

2.  What must happen to perform a remote diagnostic test using teleaudiology software? The patient needs to be in the same physical location as the clinician. The patient should not be on a video conference call with the clinician. The patient needs to be provided with basic testing equipment. The patient needs to have bilateral hearing loss.

3.  In March 2022, the International Journal of Audiology published a study in which the primary objective was the validation of a cloud-centralized audiometry system for clinical practice. What did this study conclude? Online digital audiometry is a clinically accurate method for hearing assessment. Clinicians should stay away from cloud-centralized audiometry systems. Online digital audiometry is NOT a clinically accurate method for hearing assessment. Accurate comprehensive diagnostic testing is not possible without a sound booth.

4.  How can online screeners can help clinicians? Perform diagnostic hearing tests more quickly. Reach more people and triage more effectively. Reach more people but triage less effectively. Skip the diagnostic test and go straight to fitting.

5.  Which of the following is FALSE about SHOEBOX’s automated tablet-based audiometer? It is designed so that both hearing care professionals and non-hearing care professionals can produce clinically valid audiograms. It does not continuously monitor ambient noise levels.
