A New Research-Based Protocol for Childhood Hearing Screening

---

1.  Which one of the following statements about pure tone screening is correct? Pure tone screening outcome is not influenced by ambient noise Pure tone hearing screening test time is usually less than 1 minute per child Pure tone screening is generally possible for children who are at least 6 years old Pure tone screening is appropriate for young preschool children

2.  Which one of the following sets of criteria define a pass outcome for schoolhearing screening with DPOAEs (Distortion Product Otoacoustic Emissions)? DPOAE amplitude is> -10 dB SPL and DPOAE is present for 500 Hz DP amplitude – noise flloor is> 6 dB SPL and DP amplitude is> 0 dB SPL DP amplitude and noise floor are> -6 dB SPL DP amplitude and noise floor are> -60 dB SPL

3.  Which one of the following sets of test frequencies is most appropriate for hearing screening with DPOAE? 1000 Hz, 2000 Hz, and 3000 Hz 500 Hz, 1000 Hz, 2000 Hz , and 3000 Hz 500 Hz, 1000 Hz, 2000 Hz , and 4000 Hz 2000 Hz, 3000 Hz, 4000 Hz, and 5000 Hz

4.  What is the main advantage of including tympanometry in a hearing screening protocol for children? Detection of outer ear dysfunction Detection of middle ear dysfunction Detection of inner ear dysfunction Detection of neural dysfunction

5.  What is the main advantage of including a test frequency of 6000 Hz in puretone hearing screening? Detection of middle ear dysfunction Minimizing test time Detection of auditory processing disorder (APD) Detection of sound (noise or music) induced hearing loss
