Hearing impairment among workers exposed to excessive levels of noise in ginning industries

open access: yesNoise and Health, 2011
Cotton ginning workers have a risk of hearing loss due to excessive noise levels at the workplace environment. In this study, estimates of typical sound levels prevailing at the workplace environment and its effects on hearing ability of the exposed ...

Potential Consequences of Spectral and Binaural Loudness Summation for Bilateral Hearing Aid Fitting

open access: yesTrends in Hearing, 2018
Aversiveness of loud sounds is a frequent complaint by hearing aid users, especially when fitted bilaterally. This study investigates whether loudness summation can be held responsible for this finding.

Perception of binaural cues develops in children who are deaf through bilateral cochlear implantation.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
There are significant challenges to restoring binaural hearing to children who have been deaf from an early age. The uncoordinated and poor temporal information available from cochlear implants distorts perception of interaural timing differences ...

ANGULAR LOCALIZATION IN BINAURAL HEARING

open access: yesNippon Jibiinkoka Gakkai Kaiho, 1964
In recent years, it has become apparent that the directional hearing capacity in binaural hearing correlates with the perceptive hearing disorders.From such a medical significance, the experiment was carried out in order to research the possibility of clinical application of the differential diagnosis of hearing impairment causing central auditory ...

Experiments in binaural hearing: Masking, speech intelligibility, and binaural hearing aids [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1991
The late J. Donald Harris had a great interest in binaural hearing and binaural amplification systems for the hearing impaired. This paper is dedicated to his memory. Research on binaural release from masking has been substantial. A similar but smaller research effort has focused on binaural improvements in intelligibility and related issues involving ...

Spatial Release From Masking in Simulated Cochlear Implant Users With and Without Access to Low-Frequency Acoustic Hearing

open access: yesTrends in Hearing, 2015
For normal-hearing listeners, speech intelligibility improves if speech and noise are spatially separated. While this spatial release from masking has already been quantified in normal-hearing listeners in many studies, it is less clear how spatial ...

Binaural Localization Development and the Effect of SmartSound iQ with SCAN in Children with Cochlear Implants

open access: yesAudiology Research
Background: Binaural hearing is crucial for spatial auditory perception, including sound localization. Cochlear implants (CIs) are commonly used in children with congenital deafness to support binaural auditory development, but the extent to which they ...
