20Q: Meaningful Outcome Measures for Hearing Interventions in Adults

Please note: exam questions are subject to change.

1. Which of the following best defines an "outcome domain" in the context of the NASEM report? An area of functional ability The patient's goal for the intervention A behavioral test A test score
2. Which of the following are the two core outcome domains identified by the NASEM committee? Audiometric configuration and understanding speech in complex listening situations Speech recognition in noise and speech recognition in quiet Understanding speech in complex listening situations and hearing-related psychosocial health The QuickSIN and WIN tests
3. How did the NASEM committee define a "proximal outcome?" An outcome that is a necessary but insufficient first step toward a functional outcome. An outcome that is meaningful to the patient, but not to the clinician. An outcome that can only be obtained in a clinical setting, such as a sound booth. An outcome that is the final goal of every hearing intervention.
4. Which three outcome measures were recommended by the NASEM committee as the 'core set' for assessing hearing interventions in adults? The WIN, the QuickSIN, and the RHHI The APHAB-global, the RHHI, and real-ear assessment The APHAB-global, the QuickSIN, and the WIN The WIN, the APHAB-global, and the RHHI
5. Why did the NASEM committee ultimately recommend the WIN test rather than the QuickSIN test in the core set of outcome measures? The WIN test is more commonly used by audiologists. The WIN test is sentence-based while the QuickSIN is word-based. The WIN test had more available data on its validity and reliability. The committee was unaware of the QuickSIN test.
