Advanced Verification: Strategies for Improving Outcomes with Challenging Cases

Please note: exam questions are subject to change.

1. Factors to consider when addressing frequency lowering candidacy include The configuration and degree of the listener’s hearing loss Does the listener’s conventional fitting provide amplification across a broad range of frequencies Is the listener having difficulty hearing high-frequency phonemes a and c all of the above
2. Past studies have shown that weaker settings of frequency compression tend to: Have more total harmonic distortion. Have higher sound quality. Have lower sound quality. Have poorer directionality. Have better directionality.
3. What are the pitfalls when using the automatic system for fitting a hearing aid? The "automatic" fit to target (NAL-NL2) might not be the true NAL-NL2 target. The test reliability is very poor You can't use real-speech inputs It is very time consuming.
4. Counseling the patient during the fitting and verification process Should be the last step, time permitting Is optional Is a very important factor to success Should only be assessed during the diagnostic assessment
5. A potential problem of using modified-pressure, rather than stored equalization when doing open fittings: True gain will be less than what is displayed True gain will be more than what is displayed The patient cannot move his head You cannot use real-speech inputs
