Effectiveness of computer-based auditory training in improving the perception of noise-vocoded speech [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Five experiments were designed to evaluate the effectiveness of “high-variability” lexical training in improving the ability of normal-hearing subjects to perceive noise-vocoded speech that had been spectrally shifted to simulate tonotopic misalignment ...

Ultrasound Modulation of Visual Circuits in Mice Independent of Auditory Confound

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
In this study, Qiu et al. found that low‐intensity ultrasound can directly activate sparse ultrasound‐sensitive neurons (UNs) in the primary visual cortex (V1) of deafened mice. The proportion of these sparse UNs is pressure‐dependent. Furthermore, ultrasound modulates visual circuitry with distinct excitatory and inhibitory effects.

Bone conductive implants in single sided deafness [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Conclusion: The Bone Conductive Implants (BCI) showed to partly restore some of the functions lost when the binaural hearing is missing, such as in the single-sided deafness (SSD) subjects.

Compensatory Interplay Between Clarin‐1 and Clarin‐2 Deafness‐Associated Proteins Governs Phenotypic Variability in Hearing

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Functional compensation between clarin‐1 and clarin‐2 in cochlear hair cells. Hearing loss associated with CLRN1 mutations shows striking phenotypic variability; however, the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. This study reveals that clarin‐1 and clarin‐2 function cooperatively in cochlear hair cells to sustain mechanoelectrical ...

Swallowing and Communication in Cockayne Syndrome: Clinical Characteristics and Management

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cockayne syndrome (CS) is an ultrarare genetic disorder associated with genes encoding proteins involved in DNA repair. The clinical course of CS involves neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative features, including swallowing and communication impairments.

Performance of hearing skills in children with auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder using cochlear implant: a systematic review,

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Otorhinolaryngology, 2015
Introduction: Currently, there are no doubts about the benefits of cochlear implants for the development of children with severe or profound hearing loss. However, there is still no consensus among researchers and professionals regarding the benefits for

Can a Digital Awareness Campaign Change Knowledge and Beliefs Regarding Cochlear Implants? A Study in Older Adults in 5 European Countries

open access: yesInquiry: The Journal of Health Care Organization, Provision, and Financing, 2020
There are 466 million people living with a disabling hearing loss and the challenges of managing this public health crisis cannot be underestimated. Yet, adult utilization of cochlear implants is poor with less than 10% of suitable candidates receiving ...
