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.

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.

Book Synopsis The Effect of Auditory Training on the Auditory Discrimination Ability of the Contralateral Ear by : Roy Bruce Anderson
Download or read book The Effect of Auditory Training on the Auditory Discrimination Ability of the Contralateral Ear written by Roy Bruce Anderson and published by . This book was released on 1972 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to determine whether one ear of a profoundly deaf student could duplicate a response rate similar to the response rate achieved by the opposite ear on an auditory training program. The formal hypothesis of this study was: a student that reaches criterion level of acceptable performance in the right ear on one presentation of Auditory Training Program No. V will achieve the same criterion level of acceptable performance during the first presentation of the last twenty test slides of Auditory Training Program No. V to the left ear. In observation of clinical performance oft hearing impaired patients, it was reported that often the-discrimination score of one ear improves or remains the same after a hearing aid is fitted to that ear for a length of time. At the same time, the contralateral ear, i.e., the ear not fitted with a hearing aid, fails to maintain or improve its ability to respond to speech discrimination tests. Since a review of the literature failed to reveal any existing research explaining this observation, an investigation into this problem appeared warranted. Three subjects were selected for the purpose of this investigation, two males and one female. Each subject was a student in high school at the Oregon State School for the Deaf. Of the three subjects, two were juniors, and one was a senior. All three subjects possessed hearing levels below 110dB (ISO 1964 standards). To evaluate the hypothesis, each subject was first given a pretest trial to determine the discrimination ability of each ear when presented with Auditory Program No. V. Then the right ear of all three subjects was trained to a predetermined criterion level of acceptable performance. For each day that a treatment phase was presented to a subject, the remaining successive subject(s) was/were given the twenty test slide sequence of the auditory training program. A post-test of the left ear followed the training of the right ear, and this was compared to the pretest score achieved by the left ear at the beginning of the treatment period. To support the hypothesis of this study, the left ear would have to demonstrate a response rate comparable to the trained right ear on one presentation of the training program. Results of the study indicate that the left ears of two of the subjects tested, obtained response rates comparable to the response rates achieved by their right ears. However, the results also showed that the left ear on the third subject tested failed to compare with the response rate obtained by his trained right ear. It was suggested that this gave added support to the reported clinical observations, since out, of the three treatment subjects tested, one subject was found who could not respond with the left ear. It was concluded that a more intense investigation of the research problem be considered. Suggestions were also given in regards to improving the multiple-base- line design utilized in this study.

Book Synopsis Evidence-Based Practice in Audiology by : Lena Wong
Download or read book Evidence-Based Practice in Audiology written by Lena Wong and published by Plural Publishing. This book was released on 2012-02-21 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evidence based practice (EBP) has proponents in all areas of healthcare and was endorsed in a technical report in 2004 and a position statement in 2005 by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association. Despite this, there is no text on EBP with specific application to audiology. It is particularly important in audiology, where there are various interventions to assist people with hearing impairment and a growing body of research evidence that needs to be appraised by clinicians and researchers. This comprehensive book describes the principles of EBP as they apply to the evaluation of audiologic interventions in children and adults. The reader will learn the process of EBP, as well as gain knowledge on the evidence relating to specific interventions. Evidence Based Practice in Audiology is divided into four sections. The first section describes principles of EBP, including how to evaluate evidence and how to facilitate evidence based decisions with clients. The remaining three sections provide a discussion of the best available evidence about hearing aids, cochlear implants, and other interventions. These three sections contain chapters written by leading international authors who summarize the best available evidence, highlight where further evidence is needed, and recommend how further evidence should be collected and applied in the clinic. The book ends with an appendix that contains recommended measures for the collection of evidence about different audiologic interventions. Evidence Based Practice in Audiology is a highly valued resource for students, researchers, clinical audiologists, other health professionals and policy makers. For students, the book can be used for learning about research methods and about outcomes of interventions for children and adults with hearing impairment. For researchers, the book provides a useful summary of available research on important topics in habilitation and rehabilitation and may assist them to design future research studies. For clinical audiologists, the book can help them understand what evidence is and how this can be applied in clinical practice. Other health professionals who can benefit from this book include ENTs, pediatricians, geriatricians, GPs, nurses, and aged care workers. The book can also guide policy makers and third-party payers in their decisions about allocation of resources. The text is written with sufficient information for readers with different backgrounds and experience and careful attention has been paid to presenting complex information in an easy to understand format. Evidence Based Practice in Audiology is edited by two leading academics in research in audiologic interventions. These editors have a rich clinical experience working with children and adults with hearing impairment and with other health professionals
Book Synopsis Binaural Interference: a Guide for Audiologists by : James Jerger
Download or read book Binaural Interference: a Guide for Audiologists written by James Jerger and published by Plural Publishing. This book was released on 2018-02-23 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Binaural interference occurs when the speech input to one ear interferes with the input to the other ear during binaural stimulation. The first published study on binaural interference twenty-five years ago demonstrated that some individuals, particularly older individuals, perform more poorly with two hearing aids than with one and/or more poorly with binaural than monaural stimulation on electrophysiologic as well as behavioral measures. Binaural interference is relevant to every audiologist because it impacts the successful use of binaural hearing aids and may explain communicative difficulty in noise or other challenging listening situations in persons with normal-hearing sensitivity as well as persons with hearing loss. This exciting new book written by two highly respected audiologists first traces the history of its study by researchers, then reviews the evidence, both direct and indirect, supporting its reality. This is followed by a discussion of the possible causes of the phenomenon and in-depth analysis of illustrative cases. The authors outline a systematic approach to the clinical detection, evaluation and amelioration of individuals who exhibit binaural interference. Suggestions are furnished on improved techniques for evaluation of the binaural advantage in general and on sensitized detection of the disorder in particular. The book ends with recommendations for future directions. Given the adverse impact of binaural interference on auditory function and its occurrence in a significant subset of the population with hearing loss, as well as in some individuals with normal-hearing sensitivity, research on binaural interference only recently has begun to flourish, and adaptation of audiologic clinical practice to identify, assess, and manage individuals with binaural interference has yet to become widespread. The authors intend for the book to provide impetus for pursuing further research and to encourage audiologists to explore the possibility of binaural interference when patient complaints suggest it and when performing audiologic evaluations. The book is intended for practicing clinical audiologists, audiology students, and hearing scientists.
