A client comes to you with an audiogram that shows normal hearing for the frequencies 250-2,000 Hz but reduced acuity for the frequencies 4,000-8,000 Hz, bilaterally. We would describe his configuration of hearing loss as;
High Frequency Hearing Loss
Cochlear implants and hearing aids are different in many ways. A cochlear implant is surgically implanted, a hearing aid only contains external parts. There are parts that are found on both devices, which part is not found on a cochlear implant?
Amplifier
In order to discriminate between vowels, it is important for the individual to be able to hear…
The first and second formant
When practicing speechreading during an aural rehab program, it is important for participants to understand the cues available for recognizing speech sounds. You would discuss the difference between a viseme and a homophene. An example of a viseme is:
/p,b,m/
Parents of a newly identified hearing impaired baby (bilateral, sensorineural, moderate-severe) have come to you for an initial consultation. Your session is primarily information sharing. They are very interested in learning about the different methods of communication their child might use. What would you recommend?
You would not recommend a specific method
Parents come to you with a nine month old baby who was recently fitted with hearing aids. Which of the following is a likely objective you will target during the first few months of therapy?
Baby will demonstrate attention to an auditory stimulus by ceasing activity, eye widening, or other observable motor response, 80% of the time.
Why are behind the ear hearing aids a preferred fitting for children, rather than in the ear (ITE) hearing aids?
The needs for a growing child are best accommodated by making new ear molds for a BTE when necessary, rather than changing the entire casing of an ITE
When you are working with a hearing impaired client doing auditory training, you find that your client is able to discriminate between the words "get" and "got", but cannot discriminate between "big" and "dig". Why might that be so?
Place differences are harder to hear than vowel differences
You are an SLP in private practice. A new client comes to you for a speech and language evaluation. She is 6 years old, hearing impaired since age 12 months, secondary to meningitis. Her hearing loss was discovered at age 15 months and has been wearing hearing aids since age 17 months. Upon review of her audiogram, you notice that her hearing loss begins at about 2000 Hz. thresholds at the 70 dB range in both ears and continues in that range through 8000 Hz. With hearing aids, the thresholds in the higher frequencies are still around 50 dB. What might you find during your evaluation?
Stopping and stridency deletion
What does "Deaf" (with a capital "D") refer to?
A cultural group
What are 3 parameters that hearing level can be defined upon?
1. Onset
2. Degree
3. Progression
What is a hearing loss that is present at birth called?
Congenital Hearing Loss
What is Cued Speech?
Speech produced with manual cues that represent the sounds of speech.
What does the term "homophenous" mean?
Sounds/Words that look the same (visible on the face)-they are /v/, /f/, /m/, /b/, /p/.
What is speech reading?
Deciphering speech by looking at the face of the speaker and using visual cues to understand what the speaker is saying.
What is Auditory Training?
Teaches a person with hearing impairment to listen to amplified sounds, recognize their meanings, and discriminate sounds from each other.
What is ambient noise?
Background noise
What is prelingual deafness?
Person becomes deaf before he/she acquires speech and language
What is postlingual deafness?
Person has a hearing impairment that occurred after the age of 5.
What is Aural Rehabilitation?
An educational and clinical program implemented primarily by audiologists. It is designed to help people with hearing losses achieve their full potential.
What is an analog hearing aid?
It creates patterns of electric voltage that correspond to the sound input.
What are components of all analog hearing aids?
1. microphone
2. receiver
3. power source
4. volume control
What is a cochlear implant?
An electronic device that is surgically placed in the cochlea and other parts of the ear and delivers sound directly to the acoustic nerve endings in the cochlea.
What is the Tadoma Method?
A manual system for people who are deaf and blind, involves them placing hands on the speaker's face to feel the vibrations of speech.
What are TDD devices?
Telecommunication devices for the deaf allow people who are deaf to use the telephone.
What is an FM Auditory Trainer?
A wireless system that can be used in group or individual treatment sessions.
What is the Aural/Oral Approach?
Users of this method attempt to use amplification methods such as hearing aids or cochlear implants to tape children's residual hearing.
What is the Manual Approach?
Is a means of nonverbal communication that involves signing and fingerspelling.
What is Total Communication?
Involves teaching both verbal and nonverbal means of communication. Speech and signs are used simultaneously.
The muscle that exerts the pull that allows the eustachian tube to open during yawning and swallowing is the?
tensor palatini
