tympanic membrane
The cochlea, acting as a frequency analyzer, distributes acoustic stimuli to places along the basilar
membrane according to frequency. This forms the basis of a hypothesis called the:
Place Theory

With SIE-S hearing aids:
The only signal is from the hearing aid and phrase effects from a vent are not an issue.
The most comfortable level is:
About 45 dB HL or 65 dB SPL for normal ears

plugging the hearing aid vent to control feedback
, Most conducive losses:
Are medically correctable, display a breakdown or obstruction in middle ear and display good
discrimination
The T position on a hearing aid switch can be used to
amplify a telephone conversation, couple hearing aid into a loop inductor, couple directly into the
audio of a radio or tv
The following components can change or modify the frequency response of a hearing instrument:
a microphone
Afferent fibers:
transmit from the cochlea to the brain.
User satisfaction must include:
patient preferences
The following measurements use SPL as a reference:
Probe microphones, sound field aided thresholds, and ANSI specifications
Speech discrimination tests:
approximate a sample of speech sounds in an ordinary conversation.
A formant is:
a frequency region within a complex tone where certain harmonics have relatively large energy.
Malingering is a category of :
non organic loss
Bone conduction threshold worse than air conduction thresholds may be caused by :
poor placement of vibrator, skull fracture, thickness of skull
Part of the basic law of electrical energy is :
protons attract electrons
Some patients with binaural amplification can experience:
degredation effect
The scala tympani is filled with:
perilymph
The following is a transducer:
electret microphone
