HEARING AID USE IN PATIENTS WITH PRESBYACUSIS: A QUESTIONNAIRE SURVEY [PDF]

Acta Medica Iranica, 2004
The acceptability of hearing aids in people with presbyacusis has been improved but assessment of whether there is a need for more counseling to increase the number of regular hearing-aid users seems to be important.

Project and development of the low-cost digital hearing aid - Manaus

International Archives of Otorhinolaryngology, 2008
Introduction: Any hearing impaired person is an applicant of being a hearing aid wearer. International companies rule the market with a range of products those value added are inconsistent with the income of the population in developing countries ...

An Interpretable, Data‐Driven, Hierarchical Multi‐Domain Fusion Framework for Classification and Motor Function Scoring in Chronic Ankle Instability

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An AI‐enabled digital twin framework integrates wearable EMG sensing with hierarchical multi‐domain fusion to classify chronic ankle instability, distinguish clinically relevant subtypes, and generate continuous motor function scores. Clinically interpretable functional stratification and SHAP‐based biomarker analysis provide transparent decision ...

TECTB Variants Reveal Tectorial Membrane Vulnerability in Dominant Non‐Syndromic Hearing Loss

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
TECTB is a non‐collagenous protein of the tectorial membrane – an extracellular matrix of the cochlea. This study identifies dominant missense variants in TECTB linked to human hereditary deafness in two unrelated families. Genetically engineered mice homozygous for one of the variants are profoundly deaf, whereas heterozygous mice have normal hearing ...

Brain Network Dynamics of Local and Global Predictive Processing in Aging

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Separation of concurrent whole‐brain networks in source‐reconstructed magnetoencephalography (MEG) data suggests that healthy aging reorganizes, rather than uniformly attenuates, neural responses elicited from hierarchical auditory violations. Enhanced early sensory deviance processing alongside reduced higher‐order cognitive responses suggests a large‐

Retrospective Grid Cells in the Medial Entorhinal Cortex Encode Past Paths During Spatial Navigation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Retrospective grid cells are identified in the medial entorhinal cortex, with spatial firing patterns that become most grid‐like when activity is projected onto recently traversed locations. Their coding loses spatial precision in darkness and is disrupted during assisted movement, indicating that entorhinal representations incorporate recent path ...

Hearing loss and cognition: the role of hearing AIDS, social isolation and depression.

PLoS ONE, 2015
Hearing loss is associated with poor cognitive performance and incident dementia and may contribute to cognitive decline. Treating hearing loss with hearing aids may ameliorate cognitive decline.

A Molecularly Defined Midbrain Circuit Mechanism for Sound‐Driven Defensive Behavior and Anxiety

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Schematic diagram showing the Cbln2+ ICx–dPAG circuit for sound‐driven defensive and anxiety‐like behaviors. ABSTRACT The innate defense behaviors in response to threatening sounds play a fundamental role in survival. However, the neural circuits that detect threat‐relevant auditory cues and transform them into defensive behaviors remain poorly defined.

Prevalence and predictors of self-reported hearing aid use and benefit in Norway: the HUNT study

BMC Public Health
Background Knowledge on hearing aid use and benefit is important to ensure appropriate and effective treatment. We aimed to assess prevalence and predictors of hearing aid use and benefit in Norway, as well as possible birth cohort changes.
