• To use more machines

• All answers are correct

There are three types of audiometry; manual, automatic and computerized. The Guidelines refers to:

• Manual audiometry

• Computerized audiometry

• None of the above

Pure-tone audiometric results have significant influence on…

• medical, legal, educational, occupational, social, psychological and mechanical outcomes.

• medical, legal, educational, occupational, social, and psychological outcomes

• medical, legal, educational, occupational and social outcomes.

• medical, legal, educational, occupational, social,psychological and scientific outcomes.

What is the concept that is missing in the sentence to make it correct.

“The frequencies tested differ, ____________ on the technique used”

• Depending

• Completing

• Playing

• Buying

 Results of the audiometry may be recorded in graphic or tabular form or both. Separate forms to represent each ear may be used.

• True

• False

Match the issue / problema with a suggested consideration.

Claustrophobia

• Use a pulsed signal or a warble tone to help distinguish the test signal from the tinnitus.

• Use insert earphones, support the pinna from behind to prevent the collapse or test with the participant's mouth open

• Use age-appropriate test modifications, such as visual reinforcement audiometry, conditioned play, conditioned orientation response, or computerized audiometry. When testing pediatric patients, it may be advisable to test at 500 Hz and then 2000 Hz in each ear before testing additional frequencies in both ears.

• Instruct the patient how to exit the booth or test with the booth door ajar. If door is left open, consider use of insert earphones to minimize effects of ambient noise.

Tinnitus

• Instruct the patient how to exit the booth or test with the booth door ajar. If door is left open, consider use of insert earphones to minimize effects of ambient noise.

• Use insert earphones, support the pinna from behind to prevent the collapse or test with the participant's mouth open.

• Use age-appropriate test modifications, such as visual reinforcement audiometry, conditioned play, conditioned orientation response, or computerized audiometry. When testing pediatric patients, it may be advisable to test at 500 Hz and then 2000 Hz in each ear before testing additional frequencies in both ears.

• Use a pulsed signal or a warble tone to help distinguish the test signal from the tinnitus.
