The auditory-verbal approach encourages children with hearing impairment to

use their residual hearing.

Currently, approximately what percentage of students with hearing impairments attends classes in their local schools?

86%

Each of the following is true about sign language EXCEPT

It is a primitive, visual representation of oral language similar to mime.

Which statement about the assessment of progress of students who have hearing impairments is true?

Most standardized assessments are biased towards the majority culture.

Each of the following is true about children who are deaf EXCEPT

They reach the same language development milestones in sign as children without hearing loss do in spoken language, but at a slower rate.

All of the following identify the location of hearing loss EXCEPT

adventitious.

FM systems are used in conjunction with hearing aids to

amplify sound.

From an educational point of view, how is "deafness" best defined?

an inability to understand speech even with a hearing aid

A particularly controversial point of view held by many members of the Deaf culture is that

children should not receive cochlear implants to improve their hearing.

A TT, also referred to as TTYs, is a device for

communicating via telephone.

The most frequent viral cause of non genetic deafness in newborns is

congenital cytomegalovirus.

The "speech reception threshold" is best defined as the

decibel level at which one can understand speech.

From the physiological perspective, the distinction between "deaf" and "hard of hearing" is based on

decibel levels detected.

Most speech sounds have frequencies (pitch) that

have a wide range: 500-2,000 Hz.

The term "hard of hearing" is used to describe people with hearing impairment who

have enough residual hearing to process sound with a hearing aid.

Grammatical structure of American Sign Language consist of each of the following EXCEPT

intensity.

The total communication approach uses

oral and manual communication.

Among students who are deaf, those who achieve the highest levels of literacy tend to have

Students who are deaf who do not go on to postsecondary training may face increased obstacles to employment in the future because

the manual trades that they typically prepare for are disappearing.

When performance tests, rather than verbal tests, are used,

there is no difference in IQ scores between those who are deaf and those who are hearing.

With respect to phonology skills in students who are deaf,

they are similar to phonology skills of students with reading disabilities.

Pure-tone audiometry establishes

threshold for hearing at various frequencies.
