Audiogram Digitization Tool for Audiological Reports [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 A number of private and public insurers compensate workers whose hearing loss can be directly attributed to excessive exposure to noise in the workplace. The claim assessment process is typically lengthy and requires significant effort from human adjudicators who must interpret hand-recorded audiograms, often sent via fax or equivalent.

The Ethics of Translational Audiology
Audiology Research, 2022 Translational research moves promising primary research results from the laboratory to practical application. The transition from basic science to clinical research and from clinical research to routine healthcare applications presents many challenges, including ethical. This paper addresses issues in the ethics of translational audiology and discusses

A comparative study on corrosion failure analysis of hearing aid devices from different markets
Materials and Corrosion, Volume 74, Issue 1, Page 159-173, January 2023., 2023 The miniaturized design trend in hearing aids has caused a tremendous reduction in sizes for electronic parts and assembly, and as a result, the robustness of the device towards corrosion‐induced failures is compromised. In this study, a large number of field‐failed hearing aid devices across different markets were analyzed to understand their failure ...

Hypothesis Testing for Detecting Outlier Evaluators [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 In epidemiological studies, very often, evaluators obtain measurements of disease outcomes for study participants. In this paper, we propose a two-stage procedure for detecting outlier evaluators. In the first stage, a regression model is fitted to obtain the evaluators' effects.

Privacy, Security, and Usability Tradeoffs of Telehealth from Practitioners' Perspectives [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly transformed the healthcare sector, with telehealth services being among the most prominent changes. The adoption of telehealth services, however, has raised new challenges, particularly in the areas of security and privacy.

Analytical method for detecting outlier evaluators [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Epidemiologic and medical studies often rely on evaluators to obtain measurements of exposures or outcomes for study participants, and valid estimates of associations depends on the quality of data. Even though statistical methods have been proposed to adjust for measurement errors, they often rely on unverifiable assumptions and could lead to biased ...

The Role of Audiologic Evaluation in Progressive Audiologic Tinnitus Management [PDF]
Trends in Amplification, 2008 Progressive Audiologic Tinnitus Management (PATM) is based on the premise that tinnitus is managed most efficiently using a hierarchy of clinical services that address different levels of need. PATM includes five levels of management: (a) triage; (b) audiologic evaluation; (c) group education; (d) tinnitus evaluation; and (e) individualized management.

Generalized Estimating Equations for Hearing Loss Data with Specified Correlation Structures [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Due to the nature of pure-tone audiometry test, hearing loss data often has a complicated correlation structure. Generalized estimating equation (GEE) is commonly used to investigate the association between exposures and hearing loss, because it is robust to misspecification of the correlation matrix.
