Q: Sound field measurement provides which benefit over real ear measurement?
- results are obtained more quickly
- increased interaction with patient/client
- discomfort levels can be obtained
- measurement results are less subjective
A: increased interaction with patient/client

Q: Real ear measurement provides which benefit over sound field measurement?
- It is ear-specific.
- It can be performed in a noisy environment.
- It provides functional gain.
- It can be used with more types of instruments.
A: It is ear-specific.

Q: What is the best setup for performing a single speaker sound field measurement in a client's home?
- in the den/TV room with the speaker directly in front of the client
- at the dining room table with the speaker at a 45 degree angle to the client
- at the kitchen table with the speaker at a 90 degree azimuth relative to the client
- in the bedroom with the speaker located in the bathroom behind the user
A: in the den/TV room with the speaker directly in front of the client

Q: When should the "with hearing aid" portion of the APHAB be administered?
- one week after delivery
- two weeks after delivery
- one month after delivery
- two months after delivery
A: two weeks after delivery

Q: A hearing healthcare professional is verifying fit and performing a sound-field uncomfortable listening level check.<br>At which level should the hearing healthcare professional set the volume of the hearing instrument?
- the lowest level at which speech is audible
- at user's most comfortable listening level
- at the highest level allowed without acoustic feedback
- at full volume
A: at the highest level allowed without acoustic feedback

Q: What is the hearing level of 105dB SPL?

- ear canal volume with hearing aid in the ear
- proximity of aid to tympanic membrane
A: gain of the hearing aid

Q: A hearing healthcare professional is verifying fit and performing a sound-field uncomfortable listening level check.<br>At which level should the hearing healthcare professional set the volume of the hearing instrument?
- the lowest level at which speech is audible
- at patient's/client's most comfortable listening level
- at the highest level allowed without acoustic feedback
- at full volume
A: at the highest level allowed without acoustic feedback

Q: A hearing healthcare professional completes a  fitting of new open-fit technology for a patient/client.<br>Which outcome measurement tool should the hearing healthcare professional use to determine proper fit?
- free field assessment
- real ear measurement
- ANSI measurement
- hearing in noise assessment
A: real ear measurement

Q: Which measure should be included in the verification process in order to reduce the likelihood of hearing instrument rejection?
- loudness discomfort testing
- measurement of understanding at MCL
- aided thresholds
- patient questionnaire
A: loudness discomfort testing

Q: After two weeks of steady use, a new user is very pleased with her hearing instruments and doesn't want to come back for a second check-up.  What verification of the fitting would ideally be performed to verify benefit?<br>What form of fitting verification should the hearing healthcare professional use to measure benefit?
- patient questionnaire
- word discrimination at MCL
