Restoring speech intelligibility for hearing aid users with deep learning [PDF]
Almost half a billion people world-wide suffer from disabling hearing loss. While hearing aids can partially compensate for this, a large proportion of users struggle to understand speech in situations with background noise. Here, we present a deep learning-based algorithm that selectively suppresses noise while maintaining speech signals.

Noise induced hearing loss: the role of oxidative stress [PDF]
Introduction: Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) is a relevant source of hearing disability affecting the general population, and accounts for about 16% of all the reported cases of disabling hearing loss in the adult population worldwide. NIHL can follow

Aim: Kinesiophobia is an irrational fear, which depends on the belief in injury predisposition. It is associated with lower levels of physical activity. Diagnosing hearing loss can lead to kinesiophobia.Method: The study was planned as a case-control study.

What is noise-induced hearing loss?
Noise-induced hearing loss is sensory deafness caused by long-term exposure of the auditory system to a noisy environment. Auditory fatigue is an early symptom of noise-induced hearing loss, and hearing can gradually recover after people leave a noisy ...

Data from a prospective cohort with 112 auditory brainstem implant users are analyzed. Younger age at implantation (<3 years), less severe inner‐ear malformation (common cavity, cochlear aplasia, and hypoplasia), and more intraoperative eABR evoked electrodes (≥60%) are associated with better hearing and speech outcomes.

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).

Report of rare and novel mutations in candidate genes in a cohort of hearing‐impaired patients
Background Many hearing‐impaired patients carry mutations in rare or novel genes undetected in regular genetic hot regions/genes screening. Methods We collected clinical and genetic data from subjects with hearing loss who visited our department for ...

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 ...

Relationship between hearing function and myasthenia gravis: a contemporary review [PDF]
There is increasing evidence of a connection between hearing function and myasthenia gravis (MG). Studies of the pathophysiological basis of this relationship suggest that acetylcholine receptors (AChRs) on outer hair cells (OHCs) play a central role. In

Toward a Differential Diagnosis of Hidden Hearing Loss in Humans
Recent work suggests that hair cells are not the most vulnerable elements in the inner ear; rather, it is the synapses between hair cells and cochlear nerve terminals that degenerate first in the aging or noise-exposed ear.
