  1. 11. Probabilistic Modelling of Hearing : Speech Recognition and Optimal Audiometry

    Författare :Svante Stadler; Arne Leijon; Stefan Stenfelt; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :auditory models; probabilistic modelling; speech modelling; human speech recognition; hearing aids; cochlear implants; psychoacoustics; diagnostic methods; optimal experiments; audiometry;

    Sammanfattning : Hearing loss afflicts as many as 10\% of our population.Fortunately, technologies designed to alleviate the effects ofhearing loss are improving rapidly, including cochlear implantsand the increasing computing power of digital hearing aids. Thisthesis focuses on theoretically sound methods for improvinghearing aid technology. LÄS MER

  3. 12. Writing in deaf and hard-of-hearing children : A bimodal bilingual perspective on their written products and writing processes

    Författare :Moa Gärdenfors; Krister Schönström; Victoria Johansson; Naomi Caselli; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; DHH; CODA; cochlear implants; hearing aids; sign language; bilingualism; literacy; writing development; keystroke logging; writing fluency; revision; linguistic complexity; lexical density; lexical diversity; spelling; cross-linguistic influence; transfer; Linguistics; lingvistik;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis presents unique insights into the written products and writing processes of Swedish deaf and hard-of-hearing (DHH) children using a keystroke logging tool. Writing processes encompass the activities (such as planning or revision) that writers engage in during the production of the written text. LÄS MER

  4. 13. Experiences from Cochlear Implantation and Auditory Brainstem Implantation in Adults and Children : Electrophysiological Measurements, Hearing Outcomes and Patient Satisfaction

    Författare :Karin Lundin; Helge Rask-Andersen; Fredrik Stillesjö; Claes Möller; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :cochlear implant; auditory brainstem implant; electrically evoked auditory brainstem responses; long deafness duration; neurofibromatosis type 2; Medicinsk vetenskap; Medical Science;

    Sammanfattning : Cochlear implants (CIs) and auditory brainstem implants (ABIs) are prostheses for hearing used in patients with profound hearing impairment. A CI requires an operational cochlear nerve to function in contrast to an ABI. LÄS MER

  5. 14. Cochlear implantation : experimental and clinical studies

    Författare :Henrik Smeds; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Cochlear implantation makes hearing restoration possible in patients with severe to profound hearing loss. However, patients with residual hearing, where a cochlear implant may be combined with acoustic stimulation, and children with malformed cochleae, where the surgery itself as well as language training may be a challenge, are two important groups of patients that require special procedures.

  7. 15. Neurophysiological conditions for hearing in children using hearing aids or cochlear implants : an intervention and follow-up study

    Författare :Elisabet Engström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : OBJECTIVES: The four studies in this thesis examine the central auditory pathways in children with hearing loss (HL) through recording event-related potentials (ERP) and mismatch negativity (MMN). The design of the project is partly experimental, and it also includes an intervention part and a follow-up-study after three years. LÄS MER
