Maltese children with a hearing impairment : analysis of the current situation and its impact on the quality of life of parents [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Understanding the effect that a diagnosis of a childhood hearing loss has on parents would help professionals adopt an approach which diminishes parents’ possible negative feelings and concerns. A sample of parents of children with hearing impairment

Applications and Challenges of Auditory Brain‐Computer Interfaces in Objective Auditory Assessments for Pediatric Cochlear Implants

open access: yesExploration, EarlyView.
Auditory brain‐computer interface connects the brain with external devices and decodes neural signals related to auditory perception. Time‐domain and frequency‐domain analyses are commonly used to identify biomarkers associated with auditory rehabilitation, such as cortical auditory evoked potentials and mismatch negativity.

Why a diagnosis of neurofibromatosis calls for the attention of a deaf educator [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
This paper will seek to describe neurofibromatosis (NF), the scope of its impact, how NF relates to hearing loss, and why someone with a teacher of the deaf’s expertise may have information to offer the intervention team for a child diagnosed with ...

Bimodal Cochlear Implants: Measurement of the Localization Performance as a Function of Device Latency Difference [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
Bimodal cochlear implant users show poor localization performance. One reason for this is a difference in the processing latency between the hearing aid and the cochlear implant side. It has been shown that reducing this latency difference acutely improves the localization performance of bimodal cochlear implant users.

A Single-Processor Approach to Speech Processing Pipeline of Bilateral Cochlear Implants [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2014
This dissertation covers a single-processor approach to the speech processing pipeline of bilateral Cochlear Implants (CIs). The use of only a single processor to provide binaural stimulation signals overcomes the synchronization problem, which is an existing challenging problem in the deployment of bilateral CI devices.

Hearing Loss and Its Relation to Loneliness and Depression—A Population‐Based Cohort Study

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This study investigated the relationship between hearing loss, loneliness, and depression using data from the Gutenberg Health Study. It found that hearing loss is significantly associated with higher levels of loneliness and depressive symptoms, with severe to complete hearing loss markedly increasing risks for loneliness and mild to severe hearing ...

Single and Multiple Microphone Noise Reduction Strategies in Cochlear Implants

open access: yesTrends in Amplification, 2012
To restore hearing sensation, cochlear implants deliver electrical pulses to the auditory nerve by relying on sophisticated signal processing algorithms that convert acoustic inputs to electrical stimuli.

Comparing Tinnitus Suppression in Asymmetric Hearing Loss and Single‐Sided Deafness: Cochlear Versus Bone Conduction Implants

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
While both cochlear implants and bone conduction implants improve tinnitus symptoms, cochlear implants provide significantly greater suppression across multiple tinnitus severity measures and a higher cure rate, positioning it as the preferred option for tinnitus management in asymmetric hearing loss and single‐sided deafness patients.
