Modern Approaches to Bone Conduction Device Verification: Current Methods, Enhancements, and Future Directions

Please note: exam questions are subject to change.

1. Which of the following best describes the primary purpose of the Verifit Skull Simulator in bone conduction device verification? To estimate behavioral thresholds for unaided performance To objectively measure device output under standardized coupling and testing conditions To predict long-term device reliability To evaluate patient preference for different programs
2. Which key feature does DSL-BCD 2.0 offer? Support for verification of softbands using the Verifit Skull Simulator Targets for implantable bone conduction devices Ability to measure cochlear implants Support for middle ear implants
3. Which of the following is true when using VerifitLINK with the Verifit Skull Simulator? Requires Noah software Requires unaided measurement Designed to improve match to targets in less time Assists with bone conduction device coupling in the test box
4. The emerging Real-Bone Measurement (RBM) surface microphone method is conceptually similar to which established clinical procedure? Tympanometry Sound-field speech testing Real-ear measurement for air-conduction hearing aids Caloric vestibular testing
5. Which statement best reflects the potential clinical value of RBM technology? It eliminates the need for prescriptive targets It replaces the need for skull simulator testing in all patients immediately It is only applicable to percutaneous abutment systems It supports the objective verification of a wider variety of BCD coupling types
