Term
When do you mask for AC?
Definition
When AC(TE)-IA>BC(NTE) or AC(TE)-IA>AC(NTE)
Term
How much do you mask for AC?
Definition
AC(NTE)+SF+CF
Then you plateau
Term
When do you mask for BC thresholds?
Definition
When unmasked BC thresholds are >10 dB better than AC thresholds
Term
How much do you mask for BC thresholds?
Definition
AC(NTE)+SF+CF+OE
Term
What are the OE values?
Definition
20 dB at 250 Hz
15 dB at 500 Hz
5 dB 1000 Hz
Term
When do you mask for SRT testing?
Definition
SRT(TE)-IA>best BC(NTE at 5,1, 2) or SRT(TE)-IA>SRT(NTE)
Term
What are the IA values for headphones and inserts?
Definition
40 dB and 60 dB
Term
When do you mask for supra-threshold speech testing?
Definition
PL(TE)-IA>best BC (NTE at 5, 1, 2) or PL(TE)-IA>SRT (NTE)
Term
How much masking for supra-threshold speech testing?
Definition
PL(TE)-25+avg ABG(NTE)+CF
Simplified version: PL(TE)-20 dB
Term

-there is no significant ___ ___ ___ (> 15 dB) in either ear
-speech is presented at a ___ sensation level (i.e.
30-40 dB SL) relative to the measured or estimated SRT
Definition
air-bone gap; moderate
Term
