ETS Praxis Audiology Practice Test | 120
Questions with 100% Correct Answers |
Verified | Latest Update 2024



A.An improvement in speech understanding when the noise is closer to the

ear with hearing loss


B.Improved ability to localize when the noise source is closer to the ear with

normal hearing


C.Better speech understanding and localization as the reverberation

time increases


D.More difficulty understanding speech when the speaker moves closer to the ear

with hearing loss

E.Improved localization when the noise is at 0° azimuth and the source is closer to

the ear with hearing loss - ✔✔Correct Answer: A


Option (A) is correct. It is well-known that for individuals with unilateral hearing

loss, speech intelligibility improves when the more favorably placed ear (i.e.,

the better ear) is further from the noise source. When this occurs then the SNR

improves in the better ear.

,A patient is seen for a vestibular evaluation with the primary complaint of

persistent imbalance for the past six months. She states that she had one

severe attack of true rotary vertigo six months ago, and since then fears another

will occur. She has limited her activities, as quick head movements increase her

symptoms. She reportedly takes meclizine daily.




Videonystagmography results indicate normal saccade, optokinetic, and smooth

pursuit testing. A second-degree left-beating nystagmus is observed during gaze

testing without fixation. Postactive head-shake nystagmus reveals a left-beating

nystagmus. No positioning or positional nystagmus is observed. Bilateral

bithermal caloric results indicate a 50 percent right weakness with no

significant directional preponderance.




Based on the above information, the patient most likely has




A.Ménière's disease

,B.a central vestibular pathology


C.a statically uncompensated p - ✔✔Correct Answer: E


Option (E) is correct. Videonystagmography results normally provide site-of-lesion

specific information (i.e., caloric irrigations) to determine probable side of

weakness. In this example, the patient had a 50 percent right peripheral

vestibular weakness, suggesting a peripheral pathology affecting the right side.

The postactive head-shake left-beating nystagmus suggests that the lesion is

dynamically uncompensated.




Which of the following is a possible outcome of an audiologist using a physician's

NPI for billing rather than using his or her own NPI?




A.The reimbursement for services rendered will be enhanced.


B.The incorrect validation of the physician as the predominant provider of

audiology services.


C.The expansion of the scope of practice for audiologists.


D.The audiologist will not be liable for malpractice

, E.The audiologist will no longer be eligible to maintain his or her own NPI. -

✔✔Correct Answer: B


Option (B) is correct. It is detrimental to the profession of audiology to have

audiology services billed under the NPI of a physician. Doing so can skew the

Medicare claims data to incorrectly indicate that physicians are the predominant

providers of audiology services and, as a result, limit the role of the profession of

audiology in national and regional audiology coding and reimbursement

processes.




Auditory brainstem response (ABR) testing indicates a prolonged wave I-V latency.

These findings are consistent with which of the following?




A.Retrocochlear pathology, such as an acoustic neuroma


B.Conductive hearing loss due to middle ear effusion


C.Cochlear hearing loss due to ototoxicity


D.Middle-ear dysfunction due to otosclerosis


E.Auditory perceptual problems as a result of a stroke - ✔✔Correct Answer: A
