Classification of audiograms in the prevention of noise-induced hearing loss: A clinical perspective

South African Journal of Communication Disorders, 2020
Background: Noise induced hearing loss (NIHL) is a major contributor to disabling hearing loss. Engineering controls are superior to hearing protection devices (HPDs) in prevention of occupational noise induced hearing loss (ONIHL), although the latter ...

ADNP‐Related Helsmoortel–Van der Aa Syndrome: A Review of the Literature and Clinical Recommendations for Assessment and Monitoring

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT ADNP‐related Helsmoortel–Van der Aa syndrome (ADNP‐related HVDAS) is a single gene form of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) caused by pathogenic sequence variants in the activity‐dependent neuroprotective protein (ADNP) gene. In addition to ASD, ADNP‐related HVDAS is associated with a wide range of cognitive, behavioral, and physical health ...

First Report of Uniparental Isodisomy of Chromosome 15 Revealing Angelman Syndrome and Microphthalmia Associated With a Novel Homozygous ALDH1A3 Variant

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Paternal isodisomy of chromosome 15 (iUPD15) is a recognized cause of Angelman syndrome (AS), accounting for approximately 2%–5% of cases. Additionally, another recognized consequence of iUPD is the unmasking of autosomal recessive disorders. However, reports of recessive disorders resulting from iUPD15 remain scarce in the literature.

Performance and Reliability Evaluation of an Automated Bone-Conduction Audiometry Using Machine Learning

Trends in Hearing
To date, pure-tone audiometry remains the gold standard for clinical auditory testing. However, pure-tone audiometry is time-consuming and only provides a discrete estimate of hearing acuity. Here, we aim to address these two main drawbacks by developing

High Frequency Audiometry [PDF]

Annals of Otology, Rhinology & Laryngology, 1984
After a brief discussion of the past use of and clinical need for high frequency hearing tests, a new technique is described that uses a special electric transduction mode: a 60-kHz carrier frequency is modulated by the desired audiofrequency. The combined signal is applied to the skin over the mastoids by Mylar-covered electrodes.

Biallelic PAX6 Variants in an Adult With Severe Microphthalmia and Preserved Intellectual Function

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT PAX6 encodes a dosage‐sensitive transcription factor that is essential for eye development. Heterozygous PAX6 disease is well characterized, but biallelic disease is extremely rare and has been associated with anophthalmia, severe brain malformations, and perinatal lethality.

Inteligibilidade de fala com e sem ruído em indivíduos expostos à música eletrônica Speech intelligibility with and without noise in individuals exposed to electronic music

Brazilian Journal of Otorhinolaryngology, 2010
A audiometria é o principal meio pelo qual se avalia a audição, pois é um teste universal e padronizado. Os testes de fala são de difícil padronização devido às variáveis envolvidas, sendo de grande importância a aplicação destes na presença de ruído ...
