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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A recent study indicates that 20 million people in the United States have significant sensorineural hearing loss. Approximately 95% of those people have partial losses, with varying degrees of residual hearing. These percentages are similar in other developed countries. What changes in the function of the cochlea or inner ear cause such losses? What does the world sound like to the 19 million people with residual hearing? How should we transform sounds to correct for the hearing loss and maximize restoration of normal hearing? Answers to such questions require detailed models of the way that sounds are processed by the nervous system, both for listeners with normal hearing and for those with sensorineural hearing loss. This book contains chapters describing the work of 25 different research groups. A great deal of research in recent years has been aimed at obtaining a better physiological description of the altered processes that cause sensorineural hearing loss and a better understanding of transformations that occur in the perception of those sounds that are sufficiently intense that they can still be heard. Efforts to understand these changes in function have lead to a better understanding of normal function as well. This research has been based on rigorous mathematical models, computer simulations of mechanical and physiological processes, and signal processing simulations of the altered perceptual experience of listeners with sensorineural hearing loss. This book provides examples of all these approaches to modeling sensorineural hearing loss and a summary of the latest research in the field.

Download or read book Binaural Hearing written by Ruth Y. Litovsky and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-03-01 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The field of Binaural Hearing involves studies of auditory perception, physiology, and modeling, including normal and abnormal aspects of the system. Binaural processes involved in both sound localization and speech unmasking have gained a broader interest and have received growing attention in the published literature. The field has undergone some significant changes. There is now a much richer understanding of the many aspects that comprising binaural processing, its role in development, and in success and limitations of hearing-aid and cochlear-implant users. The goal of this volume is to provide an up-to-date reference on the developments and novel ideas in the field of binaural hearing. The primary readership for the volume is expected to be academic specialists in the diverse fields that connect with psychoacoustics, neuroscience, engineering, psychology, audiology, and cochlear implants. This volume will serve as an important resource by way of introduction to the field, in particular for graduate students, postdoctoral scholars, the faculty who train them and clinicians.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most common type and configuration of hearing loss seen in clinics is high frequency sensorineural hearing loss. High-frequency hearing losses can lead to difficulties understanding speech in noise. Traditional amplification can aid in audibility of high-frequency information; however, its success is limited due to acoustic feedback, output limitations of the hearing aids, and loudness discomfort (Bohnert, Nyffeler, & Keilmann, 2010, Turner & Cummings, 1999). Cochlear dead regions further hinder the success of traditional hearing aids, as speech recognition may not improve with increased audibility (Turner & Cummings, 1999). Frequency-lowering algorithms, developed by four major hearing aid manufacturers, attempt to provide improved audibility and speech understanding. Several studies have assessed the success of this technology; however mixed results have been found. The current study's purpose is to examine the effects of adaptive frequency lowering on phoneme identification and sound quality of music. Seven subjects with high frequency hearing loss were fit with Starkey Xino RITE hearing aids and were tested in two conditions (adaptive frequency lowering on and adaptive frequency lowering off). The Nonsense Syllable Test, Speech Perception In Noise test, and sound quality of music forced choice protocol were used to compare the two algorithms. The results of this study revealed no significant differences between traditional amplification and adaptive frequency lowering algorithm for identification of nonsense syllables, speech perception in noise, and preference of sound quality of music.

Paroly and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is important for audiologists to determine an individual's maximum speech understanding in order to provide appropriate patient management regarding counseling about hearing loss and the patients' theoretical communication abilities, recommendations for amplification, and further medical referrals. This study was conducted to determine if acoustically modifying word and sentence tests would result in a more accurate representation of speech understanding abilities in individuals with mid to high frequency sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL). Nine adult volunteers with SNHL participated in the study. The NU-6 word lists and HINT sentences were modified by increasing the mid and high frequency energy of the recordings. Conditions included unmodified and three filters with cutoff frequency at 1000 Hz: 2 dB/octave, 5 dB/octave and 8 dB/octave. Each participant was tested monaurally in each ear under insert earphones at their most comfortable loudness level. Results revealed statistically significant improvements in both WRS and RTS values for the modified stimuli compared to the unmodified stimuli. Additionally, the increase in scores for the modified stimuli is also considered to be clinically significant. Given these results, it can be concluded that modified speech stimuli might be more appropriate for predicting aided speech understanding of individuals with SNHL.
