AUDIOLOGY TERMS
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| earphones that are placed over the ears to send sound waves though the ear canal, middle ear, and inner ear | air conduction testing |
| a graph that show how well a person hears sounds at different frequency and decibel levels | audiogram |
| a graph that show how well the middle ear is functioning | tympanhogram |
| how high or low a sound is (pitch) | frequency |
| loudness or softness of a sound | decibel |
| the machine an audiologist uses to test a person's hearing | audiometer |
| a person who tests hearing | audiologist |
| the range on an audiogram that covers the frequencies and decibels that are needed to understand speech | speech banana |
| shows that the ear drum is not vibrating normally due to fluid in the middle ear or other causes | flat tympanogram |
| shows that the middle ear is functioning correctly because the ear drum is able to vibrate normally | normal tympanogram |
| a small vibrator is placed on the mastoid bone directly behind the ear and sound is transmitted through the bones of the skull directly to the inner ear, bypassing the outer and middle ear | bone conduction testing |
| the softest sound at which a person can hear the sound of speech | speech reception threshold |
| the softest sound at which a person can identify and repeat simple words | word recognition |
| determines the decibel and frequency levels at which a person can detect and understand speech | speech audiometry |
