Evaluation of the sparse coding shrinkage noise reduction algorithm for the hearing impaired

, 2012
Although there are numerous single-channel noise reduction strategies to improve speech perception in a noisy environment, most of them can only improve speech quality but not improve speech intelligibility for normal hearing (NH) or hearing impaired (HI)

The policy adjacent: How affordable housing generates policy feedback among neighboring residents

American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.
Abstract While scholars have documented feedback effects among a policy's direct winners and losers, less is known about whether such effects can occur among the indirectly affected—“the policy adjacent.” Using 458 geocoded housing developments built between two nearly identical statewide ballot propositions funding affordable housing in California, we

The effects of a hearing education program on recreational noise exposure, attitudes and beliefs toward noise, hearing loss, and hearing protector devices in young adults

, 2015
Excessive recreational noise exposure in young adults might result in noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) and tinnitus. Inducing behavioral change in young adults is one of the aims of a hearing conservation program (HCP). The goal of the current study was

It Takes Two to Tango: A Pluralist Account for Building Comprehensive Explanations in Human Evolution

American Anthropologist, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The evolutionary study of human dispersal is a key topic in biological anthropology. However, recent research has revealed inconsistencies between molecular and anatomical data across different timescales and geographic regions. Despite increased interdisciplinary dialogue, these discordances are rarely analyzed in depth or interpreted for ...

Transient-Evoked Otoacoustic Emissions May Reveal Damage to Outer Hair Cells Caused by Exposure to Recreational Noise: A Narrative Review

Medicina
Recreational noise-induced hearing loss (RNIHL) is a significant factor contributing to hearing loss in young people. Its process is irreversible, and early symptoms are hidden. Therefore, early identification is of great significance.

Reduction of noise-induced hearing loss using L-NAC and salicylate in the chinchilla

, 2000
The effects of a combination of two antioxidant compounds were studied in a chinchilla model of noise-induced hearing loss. After obtaining baseline hearing thresholds using inferior colliculus evoked potentials, chinchillas were exposed for 6 h to ...

Noise Exposure in a Dental Teaching Hospital: Investigations and Recommendations for Dental Personnel

European Journal of Dental Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Exposure to excessive noise is a highly preventable occupational risk, with irreversible side effects that may negatively impact an individual's quality of life, such as noise‐induced hearing loss and tinnitus. Dental personnel may be at particular risk due to their exposure to high levels of noise from dental equipment.
