Q: Most tinnitus is subjective.
- True
- False
A: True

Q: Which of the following is the best recommendation for coping with tinnitus at night when trying to sleep?
- use earplugs
- use a sound machine or external noise source for masking
- wear an in-the-ear masking device or Neuromonics device
- stay up and watch television until you fall asleep
A: use a sound machine or external noise source for masking

Q: 80% of patient's with sensorineural hearing loss also have tinnitus.
- True
- False
A: True

Q: Palatal myoclonus may result in objective tinnitus.
- True
- False
A: True

Q: Tinnitus is only present in patients who have hearing loss.
- True
- False
A: False

Q: When a patient perceives everyday sounds to be uncomfortably loud they are likely experiencing:
- tinnitus
- hyperacusis
- misophonia
- diplacusis
A: hyperacusis

Q: Which of the following is a treatment option for bothersome tinnitus?
- masking
- Neuromonics
- tinnitus retraining therapy
- all of the above
A: all of the above

Q: What percentage of patients with tinnitus would report that their tinnitus is truly bothersome?
- 20%
- 40%
- 60%
- 80%
A: 20%

Q: LDLs that are measured in the booth using headphones are measured in dBSPL.
- True
- False
A: False
If right: LDLs that are measured in the booth using headphones are measured in dBHL.
If wrong: LDLs that are measured in the booth using headphones are measured in dBHL.

Q: Patient-specific LDLs should be used to adjust the ______ of a hearing aid.
- MPO
- Expansion kneepoint
- Gain for 60dB inputs
- Compression Ratio
A: MPO

Q: Many patients with hearing loss AND tinnitus report some relief of the tinnitus when they are wearing their hearing aid(s).
- True
- False
A: True

Q: LDLs are measured using cold-running speech.
- True
- False
A: False
If right: LDLs are frequency-specific and should, therefore, be measured using puretones or narrow bands of noise.
If wrong: LDLs are frequency-specific and should, therefore, be measured using puretones or narrow bands of noise.

Q: MCL and UCL are measured by using cold-running speech.
- True
- False
A: True

Q: When measuring a patient's LDLs, the LDL is the dB level that causes the patient to flinch.
- True
- False
A: False
If right: The patient is provided with loudness scaling anchors during LDL testing. The LDL is the dB level at which the patient rates the sound to be too loud.
If wrong: The patient is provided with loudness scaling anchors during LDL testing. The LDL is the dB level at which the patient rates the sound to be too loud.

Q: In order to accurately apply the patient's LDL to the maximum hearing aid output, you must first convert the patient's LDL from dBHL to dBSPL.
- True
- False
A: True

Q: Using 2dB steps on the audiometer rather than 5dB steps will allow you to achieve a more accurate LDL measurement.
- True
- False
A: True

Q: The formula to transform LDL in dBHL to the real-ear LDL in dBSPL is as follows: RESPL= dBHL + ______ + RECD
- RETSPL
- REDD
- REIG
- REUG
A: RETSPL

Q: The use of earplugs is an appropriate recommendation for patients with hyperacusis.
- True
- False
A: False
If right: Earplugs are counterproductive for patients with hyperacusis. The avoidance of sound will only make the hyperacusis worse.
If wrong: Earplugs are counterproductive for patients with hyperacusis. The avoidance of sound will only make the hyperacusis worse.

Q: Which of the following is a treatment option for patients with hearing loss in one ear only?
- CROS hearing aid
- BiCROS hearing aid
- Bilateral hearing aids
- Neuromonics
A: CROS hearing aid
