Exam Preview for 41244: Unleashing the Power of Test Box and Real-E

Unleashing the Power of Test Box and Real-Ear Probe Microphone Measurements, in partnership with Seminars in Hearing

Please note: exam questions are subject to change.

1. Applying the 1/2 Gain and 1/3 Gain Rules, which of the following would be an approximate level of gain recommended for a moderate input at a frequency with a 40 dB HL pure tone threshold? 10 dB 15 dB 25 dB 30 dB
2. Which statement below is accurate regarding the application of the Real-Ear to Coupler Difference measurement? RECD is only useful for pediatric fittings. Using average RECD will result in an accurate fitting for adults. RECD measurements are not useful for test box measurements. Measuring RECD and applying the data to your REAR measurement will allow you to customize output targets for your patients.
3. Complete the sentence: Verifying that certain features are working appropriately (e.g., ensuring that directional microphones and noise reduction features are activated in the presence of background noise) ______________. can only be done on-ear. can only be done in the test box. can be done either on-ear or in the test box. can only be completed by the manufacturer .
4. Real-ear probe microphone equipment allows you to counsel effectively regarding which of the following? Safe listening levels of earbuds or headphones Discussions of appropriate expectations for your patients' family members Your SLP colleagues' questions about whether their pediatric patient can hear their own voice appropriately All of the above
5. If a patient has feedback and you want to identify which frequency is causing the issue, which action should you take? Turn the probe microphone system into a sound level meter that can measure outside inputs You are out of luck as there is no way to know which frequency is causing the issue. Ask the patient which frequency they think is the problem. Turn all the gain in the high frequencies down and assume it is one of them.
