T / F  A patient with adequate hearing sensitivity will be able to detect the presence of a sound at 0 dB HL. In other words, 0 dB HL is a threshold that it is possible for us to measure.

Based on the audiogram, what kind of acoustic reflexes would you expect for a 2000 Hz activator tone? (Answer with “present” or “absent”) in each response box.    (audiogram courtesy of MedEL) Right ipsi reflex (activator sound right; measurement probe right): [rightipsi] Left ipsi reflex (activator sound left; measurement probe left): [leftipsi] Right contra reflex (activator sound right; measurement probe left): [rightcontra] Left contra reflex (activator sound left; measurement probe right: [leftcontra]

If a patient has a retrocochlear hearing loss (from CNVIII/auditory nerve), what finding may be seen in word recognition testing results?

T / F  The levels for interaural attenuation are different for insert earphones and supra-aural earphones. 

Match the examples below with the corresponding study design.

I understand that for this course exams are only to be taken using an external webcam facing me from the side, where the instructor can see my body,  hands, head, and the computer screen.    

D_max is given by:  D_max = Pab(a+2b)√(3a(a+2b)) 27EI where: a = 0.5 : 1.5 : 8 b = 8 – a E = 0.2 I = 1.5 P = 0.425 Which of the following is the correct MATLAB assignment to calculate D_max?

Suppose the absolute price of good X is $10 and the absolute price of good Y is $5. A tax is placed on the purchase of good Y only and not another good X. The tax effectively raises the consumer’s pay for good Y from $5 to $10. Now, the relative price of one unit of good Y is ________ units of a good X.  *Hint: therefore, the tax makes good Y relatively more expensive and makes good X relatively cheaper.

The graph 1 describes a technical innovation (e.g., generative artificial intelligence) in the production of ______________
