Subjective Fatigue in Children With Unaided and Aided Unilateral Hearing Loss
The Laryngoscope, Volume 133, Issue 1, Page 189-198, January 2023., 2023 Objectives Fatigue is frequently observed in children with chronic diseases and can affect the quality of life (QoL). However, research in children with unilateral hearing loss (UHL) is scarce. Subsequently, no studies investigated the effects of hearing aids on fatigue in children.

Auditory and cognitive performance in elderly musicians and nonmusicians. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Musicians represent a model for examining brain and behavioral plasticity in terms of cognitive and auditory profile, but few studies have investigated whether elderly musicians have better auditory and cognitive abilities than nonmusicians.

Clinical comparison of two automated audiometry procedures
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2022 ObjectiveAutomated pure-tone audiometry has been shown to provide similar hearing threshold estimates to conventional audiometry, but lower correlations were reported at high and low frequencies in audiometric tests than those of manual tests, while the ...

Perceptual Consequences of “Hidden” Hearing Loss
Trends in Hearing, 2014 Dramatic results from recent animal experiments show that noise exposure can cause a selective loss of high-threshold auditory nerve fibers without affecting absolute sensitivity permanently.

Sensory and motor correlates of frailty: dissociation between frailty phenotype and frailty index
BMC Geriatrics, 2022 Background Frailty has been associated with a decline in sensory and motor function. However, given that different frailty measures were shown to overlap but also differ in their diagnostic properties, sensory and motor correlates of frailty might be ...

The Just-Noticeable Difference in Speech-to-Noise Ratio
Trends in Hearing, 2015 Just-noticeable differences (JNDs) have been measured for various features of sounds, but despite its importance to communication, there is no benchmark for what is a just-noticeable—and possibly meaningful—difference in speech-to-noise ratio (SNR).

Can an average of thresholds at 2 kHz and 4 kHz substitute for the threshold at 3 kHz in pure tone audiometry? A study based on the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2010-2012. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 BACKGROUND:When evaluating hearing disability in medicolegal cases, an average of thresholds at several frequencies is calculated using pure tone audiometry. Occasionally, there are instances in which thresholds at certain frequencies are omitted.
