Prevalence of Asymptomatic Otitis Media with Effusion in Children with Adenoid Hypertrophy and its Relation to Adenoid Size: A Cross-sectional Study [PDF]
Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2022 Introduction: Otitis Media with Effusion (OME) occurs as a sequelae of adenoid hypertrophy. But most often hearing loss due to OME goes unnoticed in children. This causes poor cognitive development, inattention and thus poor scholastic performance. Aim:

An artificial patient for pure-tone audiometry
EURASIP Journal on Audio, Speech, and Music Processing, 2018 The successful treatment of hearing loss depends on the individual practitioner’s experience and skill. So far, there is no standard available to evaluate the practitioner’s testing skills. To assess every practitioner equally, the paper proposes a first

Prepulse inhibition of acoustic startle reflex as a function of the frequency difference between prepulse and background sounds in mice. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Prepulse inhibition (PPI) depicts the effects of a weak sound preceding strong acoustic stimulus on acoustic startle response (ASR). Previous studies suggest that PPI is influenced by physical parameters of prepulse sound such as intensity and preceding ...

Deficits of congenital amusia beyond pitch: Evidence from impaired categorical perception of vowels in Cantonese-speaking congenital amusics. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Congenital amusia is a lifelong disorder of fine-grained pitch processing in music and speech. However, it remains unclear whether amusia is a pitch-specific deficit, or whether it affects frequency/spectral processing more broadly, such as the ...
