Book excerpt: The purpose of the investigation was to explore the relationship between hearing level at various audiometric frequencies and speech discrimination in different noise backgrounds. The study was designed specifically to test the American Academy of Ophthalmology and Otolaryngology's (AAOO) selection of a 26-dB average of 500, 1000, and 2000 Hz, as the point above which hearing handicap occurs. The AAOO method for computing hearing handicap has lately been brought into question for two primary reasons: that the 26-dB fence is too high, and for the exclusion of frequencies above 2000 Hz. The following experimental questions were posed: (1) What is the relationship between average hearing level at 500, 1000, and 2000 Hz and speech discrimination scores in noise for individuals whose average hearing levels are at or better than the AAOO low fence; (2) Is the relationship dependent upon speech-to-noise ratio; (3) Is the relationship between average hearing level and speech discrimination scores differently described by different speech materials; and (4) Which combination of audiometric frequencies best predicts speech discrimination scores.

Book Synopsis Hearing Loss by : National Research Council
Download or read book Hearing Loss written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2004-12-17 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Millions of Americans experience some degree of hearing loss. The Social Security Administration (SSA) operates programs that provide cash disability benefits to people with permanent impairments like hearing loss, if they can show that their impairments meet stringent SSA criteria and their earnings are below an SSA threshold. The National Research Council convened an expert committee at the request of the SSA to study the issues related to disability determination for people with hearing loss. This volume is the product of that study. Hearing Loss: Determining Eligibility for Social Security Benefits reviews current knowledge about hearing loss and its measurement and treatment, and provides an evaluation of the strengths and weaknesses of the current processes and criteria. It recommends changes to strengthen the disability determination process and ensure its reliability and fairness. The book addresses criteria for selection of pure tone and speech tests, guidelines for test administration, testing of hearing in noise, special issues related to testing children, and the difficulty of predicting work capacity from clinical hearing test results. It should be useful to audiologists, otolaryngologists, disability advocates, and others who are concerned with people who have hearing loss.
Book Synopsis Speech Discrimination of Hearing-impaired Individuals to Noise by : Mark Ross
Download or read book Speech Discrimination of Hearing-impaired Individuals to Noise written by Mark Ross and published by . This book was released on 1963 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study evaluated the relationships of speech discrimination measures obtained in quiet and in noise with various distortion indexes with a group of subjects with sensorineural hearing loss. The results indicated that the most important factors associated with speech intelligibility were the extent and configuration of the hearing loss. The inter-relationships among DL tests for frequency and intensity, linear range measures, age, and pure-tone thresholds were examined. Comparisons were made with normal-hearing listeners.

Book Synopsis Speech Discrimination in Noise and Hearing Loss at 3000 Hertz by : Thomas Murry
Download or read book Speech Discrimination in Noise and Hearing Loss at 3000 Hertz written by Thomas Murry and published by . This book was released on 1972 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Navy personnel with normal hearing and with hearing losses at 3 kHz and above were evaluated on tests of speech discrimination in noise. Two tests were used, one previously designed for use in audiological clinics and one constructed at this laboratory with background noise similar to that found in the enginerooms of nuclear submarines. The results indicate that subjects with hearing losses at 3 kHz and above may score as much as 11 per cent more generally at least five per cent below normals for a speech discrimination task in noise. For the two types of noise used in these tests, there was little or no difference in the general trend of test results. The correlation coeffieients obtained between the pure tone audiometric findings and the speech discrimination task in noise were found to be nonsignificant for the most part. From these results, it appears that hearing loss at 3 kHz reduces one's ability to discriminate speech in noise but this reduction is minor.

This book was released on 2015-09-10 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Artificial Intelligence in Behavioral and Mental Health Care summarizes recent advances in artificial intelligence as it applies to mental health clinical practice. Each chapter provides a technical description of the advance, review of application in clinical practice, and empirical data on clinical efficacy. In addition, each chapter includes a discussion of practical issues in clinical settings, ethical considerations, and limitations of use. The book encompasses AI based advances in decision-making, in assessment and treatment, in providing education to clients, robot assisted task completion, and the use of AI for research and data gathering. This book will be of use to mental health practitioners interested in learning about, or incorporating AI advances into their practice and for researchers interested in a comprehensive review of these advances in one source. - Summarizes AI advances for use in mental health practice - Includes advances in AI based decision-making and consultation - Describes AI applications for assessment and treatment - Details AI advances in robots for clinical settings - Provides empirical data on clinical efficacy - Explores practical issues of use in clinical settings

This book was released on 2016-10-06 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The loss of hearing - be it gradual or acute, mild or severe, present since birth or acquired in older age - can have significant effects on one's communication abilities, quality of life, social participation, and health. Despite this, many people with hearing loss do not seek or receive hearing health care. The reasons are numerous, complex, and often interconnected. For some, hearing health care is not affordable. For others, the appropriate services are difficult to access, or individuals do not know how or where to access them. Others may not want to deal with the stigma that they and society may associate with needing hearing health care and obtaining that care. Still others do not recognize they need hearing health care, as hearing loss is an invisible health condition that often worsens gradually over time. In the United States, an estimated 30 million individuals (12.7 percent of Americans ages 12 years or older) have hearing loss. Globally, hearing loss has been identified as the fifth leading cause of years lived with disability. Successful hearing health care enables individuals with hearing loss to have the freedom to communicate in their environments in ways that are culturally appropriate and that preserve their dignity and function. Hearing Health Care for Adults focuses on improving the accessibility and affordability of hearing health care for adults of all ages. This study examines the hearing health care system, with a focus on non-surgical technologies and services, and offers recommendations for improving access to, the affordability of, and the quality of hearing health care for adults of all ages.

This book was released on 1972 with total page 13 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Enlisted submariners with high-frequency hearing loss (ave. of 22, 45 and 60 decibels at 3, 4 and 6 kiloHertz, respectively) performed poorer than a normal-hearing control group by 6.2 percentage points on rather easy tests of speech intelligibility, and by 5 percentage points on rather difficult tests containing speech in background noise. The performance of the hearing-loss group, however, for the easier tests exceeded by 12.7 points that of another normal-hearing control group in which the hearing loss was simulated by filtering. The hearing-loss subjects may be experience have compensated to some extent in easier situations for their defect. This was not true for the more difficult situations. (Author).
