    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; frequency coding; Cochlea; frequency selectivity; hearing fluctuation; inner ear pressure; long-term measurement; Ménière s disease; low-frequency hearing loss; loudness; pitch.;

    Sammanfattning : Patients with Ménière's disease and cochlear hydrops show fluctuating low-frequency hearing loss (FLFHL). At present these changes are followed as patients' subjective reports and occasional measurements. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Bilateral hearing aids for bilaterally hearing-impaired persons : always the best choice?

    Författare :Susanne Köbler; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :bilateral hearing aids; binaural hearing; speech-in-noise; dichotic tests; binaural masking level difference;

    Sammanfattning : The most logical solution if a person has a hearing impairment on both ears, seems to be bilateral bearing aid amplification in both ears. Numerous studies have shown the advantages of this fitting strategy. However, there were always some individuals not benefiting from bilateral hearing aids; until recently a neglected group of persons. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Hearing in advanced age Epidemiological, pathophysiological, and diagnostic perspectives from the Gothenburg H70 Birth Cohort Studies

    Författare :Hanna Göthberg; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Age-related hearing loss; Older adult; Hearing decline; Peripheral auditory function; Central auditory function; Audiological research;

    Sammanfattning : The population aged 80 and above is expected to increase in the future resulting in an anticipated rise in health care demands. Age-related hearing loss (ARHL) is described as the third most common health condition associated with ageing. ARHL often results in communication difficulties and social isolation and is associated with cognitive decline. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Bone anchored hearing aids 'BAHAs' in children

    Författare :Claudia Priwin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :BAHA; conductive hearing loss; unilateral hearing loss; children; audiometry; sound localization; speech audiometry; self-assessment; questionnaire; craniofacial abnormalities;

    Sammanfattning : BACKGROUND: The technique for applying bone-anchored hearing aids (BAHAs) by the use of osseointegration is today widely established for both adults and children. The BAHA concept is suitable for patients with recurrent ear infections or car malformations who cannot use conventional hearing aids, which are placed altogether or partially in the ear canal.

  7. 5. Sound quality assessment using binaural technology

    Författare :Donatas Trapenskas; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Teknisk akustik; Engineering Acoustics;

    Sammanfattning : This licentiate thesis contains experimental work about the use of binaural technology for assessment of sound quality. Binaural technology aims to measure sound in the way compatible with human hearing. For that purpose artificial head with the microphones in the position of the ears is used. LÄS MER
