Question 10

Audibility

Answer 10

Degree to which a sound is perceptible by ear

Question 11

SII

Answer 11

Speech intelligibility index unit of measure used to quantify audibility
0-1.0
the lower a patient’s SII, the less acoustic-phonetic information will be available to the patient and the poorer her speech recognition will be.

Question 12

AAI

Answer 12

AIDED AUDIBILITY INDEX (AAI)
• AAI gives a numerical value that allows a comparison of relative audibility across listening conditions and hearing aid settings.
• AAI because it accounts for listening environment and hearing aid fit.
• Thresholds at 250, 500, 1000, 1500, 2000, 3000, 4000, and 6000 Hz are required to compute an AAI.

Question 13

IMPORTANT CHARACTERISTICS OF HEARING LOSS AS THEY RELATE TO AR

Answer 13

degree and configuration of loss
• age at hearing loss
• type of hearing loss
• type of listening device(s) used
• length of device use
• audibility of the speech signal/speech intelligibility index (SII)

Question 14

Consequences of hearing loss

Answer 14

impacts aural/oral communication.
• …affects educational outcomes (e.g., reading and writing).
• …affects social development.
• …affects job placement.

Question 15

Communication modes

Answer 15

The communication mode that is best for a child will ALWAYS be chosen by the child’s family.
There are a number of communication modes available for children who are deaf or hard-of-hearing.
• American Sign Language (ASL)
• Signing Exact English (SEE)
• cued speech
• aural-oral approach

Question 16

INTERNATIONAL CLASSIFICATION OF FUNCTIONING, DISABILITY, AND HEALTH

Answer 16

ICFDH was created by the World Health Organization (WHO).
• A classification system and model for describing health and health-related states—including hearing loss.
• Two models initially came out of the ICF
• Medical model
• Social model
• Biopsychosocial model—the ultimate model

Question 17

Approaching the AR process

Answer 17

Auditory training often serves as the basis of an AR program, after employing the ICF.
• Auditory training is a process of teaching the individual with hearing loss to take full advantage of available auditory cues.
• Auditory training is most often used with children who are pre- and peri-lingually deaf.

Question 18

What do AR programs typically involve

Answer 18

auditory training, speech therapy, language development, managing communication, and managing listening devices

Detection of sounds

Answer 21

Ability to determine the presence or absence of sound (auditory only)

Question 22

Identification of sounds

Answer 22

Ability to perceive similarities and differences between 2 or more sounds ( including speech stimuli)

Question 23

Identification of sounds

Answer 23

Only labeling the sound heard, repeating only what is heard or indicating they understand

Question 24

Comprehension of sound

Answer 24

Ability to understand the meaning of speech by answering questions, following an instruction, paraphrasing, or participating in a conversation
Must be different than the stimuli presented

Question 25

Goals of auditory training

Answer 25

Many factors
Make the listening task challenging without be frustrating
Most useful when it is applicable to the child
