1. Hearing impairment and deafness : genetic and environmental factors - interactions - consequences : a clinical audiological approach
Sammanfattning : OBJECTIVES - Hearing impairment (HI) can be due to genetic or environmental factors, e.g. noise. More than 50% of HI cases are thougt to be hereditary. LÄS MER
2. Direct Drive Bone Conduction Stimulation: Experimental Studies on Functionality and Transmission with Focus on the Bone Conduction Implant
Sammanfattning : Sound is conducted to the inner ear in two ways: by air and by bone. Air conduction (AC) hearing consists of sound waves entering the ear canal and reaching the cochlea, the main hearing organ, via the middle ear. In bone conduction (BC) hearing, instead, the transmission is through soft tissues and bone. LÄS MER
3. Hearing in advanced age Epidemiological, pathophysiological, and diagnostic perspectives from the Gothenburg H70 Birth Cohort Studies
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
4. Hearing in advanced age. Epidemiological, pathophysiological and diagnostic perspectives from the Gothenburg H70 Birth Cohort Studies
Sammanfattning : Globalt förväntas antalet personer över 80 år att öka i framtiden. Detta bidrar förmodligen till ett ökat vårdbehov av åldersrelaterade tillstånd och sjukdomar, varav åldersrelaterad hörselnedsättning (ARHL) rankas som den tredje vanligaste. LÄS MER
5. Approaches to Audiological Rehabilitation with Hearing Aids : studies on pre-fitting strategies and assessment of outcomes
Sammanfattning : Fourteen percent of the Swedish population report subjective hearing loss. The number of persons suffering from hearing loss is expected to increase in accordance with the increased length of the average life span, causing an associated increase in the demand for hearing health care services as new patient groups who expect a higher quality of life begin to request hearing care.
