A Marked Decrease in Speech Intelligibility Is No Longer a Major Characteristic of Vestibular Schwannoma in the Current Era [PDF]

open access: yesClinical and Experimental Otorhinolaryngology
Objectives Speech intelligibility is reported to be markedly decreased in patients with vestibular schwannoma (VS); however, the relationship between speech intelligibility and hearing level remains poorly characterized.

Cochlear Implant Evolving Indications: Our Outcomes in Adult Patients

open access: yesAudiology Research, 2022
Background: The eligibility criteria for cochlear implantation are constantly evolving, following the continuous progress in technology, knowledge about cochlear implant (CI) fitting, and the possibility to preserve residual hearing.

Developmental plasticity of spatial hearing following asymmetric hearing loss: context-dependent cue integration and its clinical implications

open access: yesFrontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2013
Under normal hearing conditions, comparisons of the sounds reaching each ear are critical for accurate sound localization. Asymmetric hearing loss should therefore degrade spatial hearing and has become an important experimental tool for probing the ...

A Novel Approach to Detect Cochlear Hearing Loss [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
The aim of this paper is to evaluate the application of time-frequency (TF) transforms and support vector machines (SVM) to transient evoked otoacoustic emissions (TEOAE) in order to achieve a detection of frequency-specific hearing loss.

Audiological findings of a patient with H syndrome: case report

open access: yesThe Egyptian Journal of Otolaryngology, 2021
Background H syndrome is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in SLC29A3. Hyperpigmentation, hypertrichosis, hyperglycemia, and hearing loss are some characteristics of this disorder, and it has a prevalence of

Are analysts’ loss functions asymmetric? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Recent research by Gu and Wu (2003) and Basu and Markov (2004) suggests that the well-known optimism bias in analysts’ earnings forecasts is attributable to analysts minimizing symmetric, linear loss functions when the distribution of forecast errors is ...

Functional Consequences of Poor Binaural Hearing in Development: Evidence From Children With Unilateral Hearing Loss and Children Receiving Bilateral Cochlear Implants

open access: yesTrends in Hearing, 2021
Poor binaural hearing in children was hypothesized to contribute to related cognitive and academic deficits. Children with unilateral hearing have normal hearing in one ear but no access to binaural cues.

Lateralization Pattern of the Weber Tuning Fork Test in Longstanding Unilateral Profound Hearing Loss: Implications for Cochlear Implantation

open access: yesAudiology Research, 2022
The Weber tuning fork test is a standard otologic examination tool in patients with unilateral hearing loss. Sound should typically lateralize to the contralateral side in unilateral sensorineural hearing loss.

Cochlear implantation in adults with asymmetric hearing loss. [PDF]

open access: yesEar Hear, 2012
Bilateral severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss is a standard criterion for cochlear implantation. Increasingly, patients are implanted in one ear and continue to use a hearing aid in the nonimplanted ear to improve abilities such as sound localization and speech understanding in noise.

Sensitivity and Specificity of Automated Audiometry in Subjects with Normal Hearing or Hearing Impairment

open access: yesNoise and Health, 2019
Objective: To investigate the sensitivity and specificity in an automatic computer-controlled audiometric set-up, used for screening purposes. Design: Comparison between standardized audiometry and automated audiometry performed in the same participants.
