    Passage 1A hearing test that analyzes brain waves for subconscious responses to sound has recently

    been devised by a team of specialists at the University of Iowa. Instead of depending on thepatient to indicate when he hears a laboratory-controlled noise, as in the traditional form oftesting, this new method, called electric response audiometry, enables audiologists to trace thenoises path directly from the ear to the brain while the patient relaxes or sleeps.

    Although brain responses have been used in other auditory tests for some time, theUniversity of Iowa specialists are the only scientists to date who analyze simultaneously threecomponents of hearing-the responses of the middle ear, the auditory nerve, and the brain stem.This information helps to identify the precise location of a hearing problem and, at the sametime, to measure its severity.

    While electric response audiometry is not meant to replace conventional means of testing,it is especially effective in diagnosing hearing problems in very young children, multiplyhandicapped individuals, and psychologically disturbed persons because it does not requirethe patients active participation.

  • (26)________________________________ 20072007

    1. Electric response audiometry differs from conventional hearing tests in that it1) requires the patient to signal when a given sound is heard2) studies subconscious responses to noise3) can be performed by any adult4) is in use nationwide

    2. According to the passage, electric response audiometry can be used1) whether a person is awake or asleep2) only if a person is relaxed3) particularly if a person hears a loud noise4) primarily when a person is dreaming

    3. According to the passage, the testing team at the University of Iowa is the first to1) develop a method to test hearing by way of the brain2) determine the extent of brain damage in hearing-impaired persons3) observe the reaction of the brain to a laboratory-controlled noise4) study all the parts of brain-wave responses at the same time

    4. It can be inferred from the passage that electric response audiometry would be especiallyrecommended for1) a three-year-old girl who has an earache2) an old man who cups his ear to hear3) a young child who does not talk4) a rock musician who plays the drums

    5.
