  1. 1. Hearing and cognition in speech comprehension. Methods and applications

    Författare :Mathias Hällgren; Stig Arlinger; Birgitta Larsby; Arne Leijon; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Aging; physiology; cognition; cognition disorders; dichotic listening tests; hearing loss; sensorineural; neuropsychological tests; speech perception; Audiology; Audiologi;

    Sammanfattning : Central auditory processing is complex and can not be evaluated by a single method. This thesis focuses on assessment of some aspects of central auditory functions by the use of dichotic speech tests and cognitive tests that tax functions important for speech processing. LÄS MER

  3. 2. On noise and hearing loss : Prevalence and reference data

    Författare :Magnus Johansson; Stig Arlinger; Einar Laukli; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; irreversible occupational disease; noise-induced hearing; noise-induced measurements OAE ; spontaneous otoacoustic emissions SOAE ; transient evoked otoacoustic emissions TEOAE ; distortion product otoacoustic emissions DPOAE ; Audiology; Audiologi;

    Sammanfattning : Noise exposure is one of the most prevalent causes of irreversible occupational disease in Sweden and in many other countries. In hearing conservation programs, aimed at preventing noise-induced hearing loss, audiometry is an important instrument to highlight the risks and to assess the effectiveness of the program. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Idiopathic Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss in Sweden : Diagnostic Protocol and Treatment in Relation to Outcome

    Författare :Ramesh Nosrati-Zarenoe; Elisabeth Hultcrantz; Stig Arlinger; Leif Hergils; Barbara Canlon; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Otorhinolaryngology; Otorhinolaryngologi;

    Sammanfattning : Idiopathic Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss (ISSNHL) is a rapid loss of hearing caused by damage to the cochlea (inner ear) or auditory nerve. Spontaneous recovery has been seen in 32% - 81%. The incidence of the ISSNHL has been estimated to be between 5 and 20 per 100,000 per year. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Perception of disturbing sounds : Investigations of people with hearing loss and normal hearing

    Författare :Åsa Skagerstrand; Stefan Stenfelt; Susanne Köbler; Stig Arlinger; Arne Leijon; Örebro universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; perception; annoyance; loudness; hearing loss; Handikappvetenskap; Disability Science;

    Sammanfattning : The present thesis concerns the daily sound environment and the human perception of the same. The sound environment affects the possibility to be active in a communication. With background noise, it may be harder to hear desired signals, and when suffering from a hearing loss, negative effects of the background noise increase. LÄS MER
