What is the primary purpose of speech audiometry?

• To measure the loudness of sounds

• To assess the clarity of speech understanding

• To evaluate the balance of hearing between ears

• To determine the type of hearing loss

What does the Speech Recognition Threshold (SRT) measure?

• The softest level at which a person can detect speech

• The loudest level at which a person can tolerate speech

• The softest level at which a person can repeat 50% of spoken words

• The clarity of speech at different frequencies

which of the following is true about speech detection threshold?

• also known as SRT

• determines the lowest level that speech can be detected or heard

• uses beeps for stimuli

• determines the lowest level that speech can be understood

which of the following are common test stimuli for speech audiometry?

• nonsense syllables

• words

• sentences

• all of these

in speech audiometry for adults, the most common response method is:

• raising a hand

• pointing a picture

• repeating a speech test item

• shaking the head

Speech awareness thrshold can be used to cross check with pure tone average

• True

• False

What is the purpose of the Word Recognition Score (WRS) in speech audiometry?

• To assess the ability to understand speech at a comfortable loudness level

• To determine the softest level of speech a person can hear

• To measure the balance of hearing between ears

• To evaluate the type of hearing loss

What is a speech banana?

• Range of hearing loss

• Range of the quietest sounds

• Range of the loudest sounds

• Range of converational speech

Conversational speech is typically:

• <20dB

• <40dB

• <60dB

• <80dB

The SRT ~ PTA agreement is within +/- ......... dB
