Exam Preview for 41290: From Ears to Algorithms: Demystifying REAR,

From Ears to Algorithms: Demystifying REAR, RECD, and Other Hearing Aid Feature Verification

Please note: exam questions are subject to change.

1. Which of the following is a primary goal of hearing aid fitting as described in the webinar? Maximizing battery life Achieving normal loudness perception Minimizing device size Reducing manufacturing costs
2. What does REAR stand for in the context of hearing aid verification? Real Ear Acoustic Response Relative Ear Amplification Ratio Real Ear Aided Response Residual Ear Auditory Range
3. Why is it important to measure the Real Ear to Coupler Difference (RECD) rather than relying solely on average coupler data? Because all patients have identical ear canal volumes To account for individual differences between a patient’s ear and the standard coupler To avoid using probe microphone measures Because coupler data is always inaccurate
4. Which of the following features can be verified using real-ear measurements (REM) according to the webinar? Bluetooth connectivity Battery charging speed Directional microphone performance Cosmetic appearance
5. According to the presentation, what is a potential consequence of not measuring individual ear acoustics and relying on average conversion values? The hearing aid may be underfit, leading to poor speech understanding The hearing aid will always fit perfectly The hearing aid may be overfit, resulting in complaints that it is too loud The patient will not notice any difference
