The Effect of Auditory Distraction on the Useful Field of View in Hearing Impaired Individuals and its implications for driving [PDF]

, 2016
This study assessed whether the increased demand of listening in hearing impaired individuals exacerbates the detrimental impact of auditory distraction on a visual task (useful field of view test), relative to normally hearing listeners.

The role of recovered envelope cues in the identification of temporal-fine-structure speech for hearing-impaired listeners [PDF]

, 2014
Narrowband speech can be separated into fast temporal cues [temporal fine structure (TFS)], and slow amplitude modulations (envelope). Speech processed to contain only TFS leads to envelope recovery through cochlear filtering, which has been suggested to

An overview of the major phenomena of the localization of sound sources by normal-hearing, hearing-impaired, and aided listeners [PDF]

, 2014
Localizing a sound source requires the auditory system to determine its direction and its distance. In general, hearing-impaired listeners do less well in experiments measuring localization performance than normal-hearing listeners, and hearing aids ...

Developing Online Learning Applications for People with Hearing Impairment

JOIV: International Journal on Informatics Visualization, 2021
To make a communication with a hearing-impaired person, who is someone who has a problem with hearing ability, a special form of communication using sign language is required in order to make the purpose of the conversation convey properly. It is clearly

DFNA5: hearing impairment exon instead of hearing impairment gene? [PDF]

Journal of Medical Genetics, 2004
Three mutations in the DFNA5 gene have been described in three families with autosomal dominant non-syndromic hearing impairment. Although these mutations are different at the genomic DNA level, they all lead to skipping of exon 8 at the mRNA level. We hypothesise that hearing impairment associated with DFNA5 is caused by a highly unusual mechanism, in

An acoustic comparison of formant frequencies in individuals with normal hearing, profound and severe hearing impairment [PDF]

, 2008
The purpose of the present research was to found out the differences in vowel formant production in 156 speakers, exactly between 46 individuals with normal hearing, 36 with severe (M=78.43, SD=16.07) and 74 with profound hearing impairment (M = 108.10 ...

Precision‐Optimised Post‐Stroke Prognoses

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Current medicine cannot confidently predict who will recover from post‐stroke impairments. Researchers have sought to bridge this gap by treating the post‐stroke prognostic problem as a machine learning problem, reporting prediction error metrics across samples of patients whose outcomes are known.

Determination and evaluation of clinically efficient stopping criteria for the multiple auditory steady-state response technique [PDF]

, 2009
Background: Although the auditory steady-state response (ASSR) technique utilizes objective statistical detection algorithms to estimate behavioural hearing thresholds, the audiologist still has to decide when to terminate ASSR recordings introducing ...

Ageism in Rheumatology: The Health Care Professional's Perspective

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Ageism (age‐based stereotypes, prejudice, or discrimination) is prevalent and linked to prolonged disability and reduced lifespan in older adults. Little is known about ageism within rheumatology. This study explores the health care professional's (HCP) perception of the care of older adults and how ageist attitudes or perspectives may impact
