A Probabilistic Modeling Approach to Hearing Loss Compensation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Hearing Aid (HA) algorithms need to be tuned ("fitted") to match the impairment of each specific patient. The lack of a fundamental HA fitting theory is a strong contributing factor to an unsatisfying sound experience for about 20% of hearing aid patients. This paper proposes a probabilistic modeling approach to the design of HA algorithms.

Outcome measurement error correction for survival analyses with multiple failure types: application to hearing loss studies [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2023
In epidemiological studies, participants' disease status is often collected through self-reported outcomes in place of formal medical tests due to budget constraints. However, self-reported outcomes are often subject to measurement errors, and may lead to biased estimates if used in statistical analyses. In this paper, we propose statistical methods to

Individual differences in auditory brainstem response wave characteristics : relations to different aspects of peripheral hearing loss [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Little is known about how outer hair cell loss interacts with noise-induced and age-related auditory nerve degradation (i.e., cochlear synaptopathy) to affect auditory brainstem response (ABR) wave characteristics.

Restoring speech intelligibility for hearing aid users with deep learning [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2022
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.

Etiology of Hearing Loss and Genetic Hearing Loss

open access: yesHanyang Medical Reviews, 2015
Hearing loss is one of the most common sensory disorders and has numerous environmental and genetic factors that influence its onset and development. Hearing loss can be classified by either the affected anatomic or functional lesion of hearing loss, or as conductive or sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL).

Noise induced hearing loss: the role of oxidative stress [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
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

Asymmetric Inter‐Hemisphere Communication Contributes to Speech Acquisition of Toddlers with Cochlear Implants

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
The present study constructs machine‐learning models to resolve developmental relationships among auditory performance, auditory cortical processing, and functional connectivity of the bilateral language network during the first year of restored hearing. The results demonstrate that asymmetric inter‐hemisphere communication contributes significantly to
