| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is the WHO classification of hearing impairment based on? | pure-tone threshold measures |
| What did Vermiglio et al (2012) say about the WHO's classification? | no significant differences in speech recognition in noise performances were found between a group with normal pure-tone thresholds (<15 dB HL) and groups with slight, mild, moderate, and severe high-frequency hearing losses |
| How is Vermiglio et al (2012) consistent with Dickson et al (1946)? | the scores from a sample of subjects with normal audiograms may scatter just as widely as those from a group of subjects with varying degrees of hearing loss |
| What is audiometric testing? | pure-tone threshold testing |
| What was recommended in the absence of a speech in noise assessment? | intervention for a speech recognition in noise disorder |
| What did Kuk et al (2008) report about their study? | only 26% of children with an APD diagnosis had measurable speech in noise deficits |
| WHat did Johnston et al (2009) report from their study? | their APD group actually performed better on a speech in noise test than the control group |
| What did Flanagan et al (2018) find? | no significant difference in speech recognition in noise ability between control and an APD groups |
| What did Flanagan et al (2018), Johnston et al (2009), and Kuk et al (2008) discover? | a diagnosis of an APD is not a sufficient condition for a speech recognition in noise disorder |
| What is the reference test for the assessment of hearing ability? | the pure-tone threshold test, however it is insensitive to a speech recognition in noise disorder |
| What are speech recognition in noise disorder interventions? | counselling regarding improvement of the signal to noise ration in daily life, auditory training, hearing aids with directional microphone, FM system |
| What do audiologists do for individuals with CAPD? | identification, screening, assessment, diagnosis, and treatment |
| What do speech language pathologist do for individuals with CAPD? | identification, screening, assessment, and treatment as a part of an interdisciplinary team |
| For our class, what types of APD are all the same? | central auditory processing disorder, auditory processing disorder, and (central) auditory processing disorder (CAPD, APD, [C]APD) |
