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

    Författare :Hanna Göthberg; Göteborgs universitet; []

    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

  4. 3. Hearing in increasing age. Epidemiological and psychoacoustic aspects

    Författare :Radoslava Jönsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Aged; Aged; 80 and over; Audiometry; Demography; Ear; Epidemiology; Hearing; Presbycusis; Psychoacoustics; Questionnaires; Socioeconomic Factors; Sound Localization;

    Sammanfattning : Presbyacusis, age-related hearing decline, is the most common cause of hearing impairment in the more developed countries. Planning of health services for the hearing impaired requires knowledge of hearing in increasing age and in demographic changes. LÄS MER

  5. 4. 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

  7. 5. Representing sounds and spellings : Phonological decline and compensatory working memory in acquired hearing impairment

    Författare :Elisabet Classon; Jerker Rönnberg; Mary Rudner; Mikael Johansson; Nathalie Phillips; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Acquired hearing impairment; phonology; WMC; reading span; Förvärvad hörselnedsättning; fonologi; arbetsminne; lässpann;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis examined phonological processing in adults with postlingually acquired moderate-to-severe hearing impairment (HI) and whether explicit working memory processing of phonology and individual working memory capacity (WMC) can compensate for degraded phonological representations in this group (papers I-III). A second aim was to provide reference data for a test of WMC, the reading span test, and to examine the relation between reading span test performance and speech recognition in noise in a larger sample of 50-89 year olds with HI (paper IV).
