Which of the following is NOT a goal of Early Hearing Detection and Intervention (EHDI)?
Identify hearing loss early
Initiate appropriate intervention
Provide treatment options
Assess cognitive development
What is the primary goal of hearing assessment?
To evaluate the patient's cognitive skills
To assess the patient's speech
To determine the patient's age
To identify the type of hearing loss
Which of the followings are differences between subjective and objective tests?
Patient-dependent
vs
Physiological

Verifiable
Which of the following is a subjective hearing test?
Tympanometry
Otoacoustic Emission (OAE)
Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR)
Behavioural Observation Audiometry (BOA)
What is the purpose of using multiple hearing tests?
To confuse the patient
To reduce testing time
To limit the number of tests
To ensure accurate diagnosis
At what age is Behavioural Observation Audiometry (BOA) typically used?
0-6 months
6-36 months
2.5-5 years
3-6 years
What type of response does Visual Reinforcement Audiometry (VRA) utilize?

Reflexive responses
Conditioned responses
Physiological responses
Which of the following are suitable games for Play Audiometry?

Video reinforcer
Sing nursery rhymes
Putting toys into a bucket
What does an audiogram indicate?
Severity of hearing loss
Type of hearing loss
Specific site of lesion
Lateralization
What is the severity of a child with 50 - 60 dB HL hearing thresholds across tested frequencies?
normal
mild
moderate
severe
What is the significance of identifying the configuration of hearing loss on an audiogram?
It indicates the severity of hearing loss
It is not clinically relevant
It helps in determining the patient's age
It assists in diagnosing the type of hearing loss
What is the clinical importance of the results from subjective assessments?
They are always verifiable
They provide insight into treatment options
They are less reliable than objective tests
They are only useful for adults
What does Tympanometry assess?
Inner ear function
Auditory nerve function
Outer ear function
Middle ear function
What does a Type B tympanogram indicate?
Normal middle ear function
Fluid or infection in the middle ear
Eustachian tube dysfunction
Highly compliant middle ear system
Which of the following tests is used to measure the integrity of outer hair cells?
Otoacoustic Emissions (OAE)
Acoustic Stapedius Reflex (ASR)
Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR)
Tympanometry
What is the main application of Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR) testing in the paediatric population?
To measure outer hair cell function
To assess middle ear function
To detect acoustic neuroma
To estimate hearing level
What is the significance of the Acoustic Stapedius Reflex (ASR)?
It evaluates middle ear function
It protects ears from loud sounds
It assesses cognitive skills
It measures hearing sensitivity
What is the role of the cross-check principle in hearing assessments?
To speed up the testing process
To limit the number of tests
To ensure accurate diagnosis
To confuse the patient
