Please note: exam questions are subject to change.

1. Outcome measures are an important part of a pediatric hearing aid fitting protocol because they: Provide a measure of how the child is progressing. Support collaboration with other professionals involved with the child. Allow for program evaluation. All of the above

9. One way to evaluate audibility of /s/ in pediatric hearing aid fittings is: Ling 6 HL LittlEARS Auditory Questionnaire PEACH Speech Intelligibility Index
10. Evaluating the quality of the hearing aid fitting when interpreting outcome measures is important because: Hearing aids need to be fitted by 6 months. EHDI programs require it for quality improvement. Consistent hearing aid use is essential. Optimal fittings infer good outcomes.
