Epidemiology of occupational injuries in construction workers between 2009 and 2018 in South Korea
Abstract Background This study aimed to investigate the characteristics of occupational injuries based on fatality, sex, and classification of occupations among construction workers using workers' compensation (WC) insurance data in South Korea. Methods We collected WC insurance data from the Korea Workers' Compensation & Welfare Service for all ...

Relation Between Glycated Hemoglobin Level and Hearing Loss in Type 2 Diabetic Patients
Background: Glycemic control and the efficacy of therapy in diabetic patients with type 2 diabetes during the previous 2-3 months are usually evaluated by measuring the glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c).

Do uHear? Validation of uHear App for Preliminary Screening of Hearing Ability in Soundscape Studies [PDF]
Studies involving soundscape perception often exclude participants with hearing loss to prevent impaired perception from affecting experimental results. Participants are typically screened with pure tone audiometry, the "gold standard" for identifying and quantifying hearing loss at specific frequencies, and excluded if a study-dependent threshold is ...

Tullio phenomenon in superior semicircular canal dehiscence (SSCD) [PDF]
A 68-year-old woman presented with worsening sound-induced vertigo (Tullio phenomenon) and left-sided hearing loss. Weber's test lateralised to the affected ear and audiography confirmed mild conductive hearing loss.

Clarity: Machine Learning Challenges to Revolutionise Hearing Device Processing [PDF]
In the Clarity project, we will run a series of machine learning challenges to revolutionise speech processing for hearing devices. Over five years, there will be three paired challenges. Each pair will consist of a competition focussed on hearing-device processing ("enhancement") and another focussed on speech perception modelling ("prediction").

Interpreting Audiograms with Multi-stage Neural Networks [PDF]
Audiograms are a particular type of line charts representing individuals' hearing level at various frequencies. They are used by audiologists to diagnose hearing loss, and further select and tune appropriate hearing aids for customers. There have been several projects such as Autoaudio that aim to accelerate this process through means of machine ...
