Fitting and Verifying Phonak Frequency-Lowering Technology

---

1.  What are two common types of frequency lowering? Frequency transposition and expansion WDRC and frequency compression Frequency transposition and frequency compression Compression and Linear

2.  Which of the following are significant about SoundRecover2 it is adaptive it is flexible it results in less distortion all of the above

3.  The two adjustment sliders for SR2 are labeled ____ (4 labels total) Clarity/Comfort/Audibility/Distinction Weaker/Stronger/Intelligibility/Distinction Clarity/Comfort/On/Off Weaker/Stronger/On/off

4.  What is one new feature recently added to SoundRecover2? SR2 is always adaptive Separate calculation of SR2 for right and left ears Patients can adjust the strength of SR2 themselves none of the above

5.  When the Audibility/Distinction slider is adjusted toward audibility, frequency lowering essentially becomes what? Weaker Stronger Non-existent none of the above

6.  When Audibility/Distinction slider is adjusted towards Distinction, frequency lowering essentially becomes what? Weaker Stronger Non-existent none of the above

7.  When measuring frequency lowering of /s/ and /sh/, they should be separated by at least how many octaves to remain distinct? 1 octave 1/3 octave 1/4 octave they should be the same frequency

8.  The purpose of the UWO plurals test is to:  Measure the listener’s ability to detect speech in noise Test the perception of high frequency speech sounds Test perception of mid and low frequency speech sounds Test the perception on nonsense babble

9.  What test is not contained in the Phonak Phoneme Perception Test? Detection Feedback Recognition Distiction

10.  The overall goals of SR2 are: Restore access to high frequency information while preserving sound quality Maintain integrity of low and mid frequency sounds Build on the success of SoundRecover strategy while allowing lower cutoff frequencies with weaker compression rations Extend the benefits of SoundRecover to those with more profound losses, corner audios, and ski slope audios all of the above
