    Författare :Ann-Kristin Karlsson Espmark; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Aged; Presbyacusis; Tinnitus; Epidemiology; ICF; Aural rehabilitation; Hearing aid; Pure-tone audiometry; Questionnaire; Psychosocial Factors; Phenomenography; Audiological rehabilitation.;

    Sammanfattning : What insight can be gained from an epidemiological perspective into factors affecting elderly people with hearing difficulties both individually and in relation to their surroundings? How is hearing impairment perceived by the elderly? How great is the need for audiological rehabilitation for elderly people with hearing impairments?Study I is a cross-sectional study within the framework of the age study H70 where a comparison was made between a) tone audiometry and self-assessments of hearing, b) tone audiometry and the prescription of hearing aids and c) self- assessments of hearing and the prescription of hearing aids. Three age cohorts were studied: 1) year of birth 1901-1902 (n=210: 133 f and 77 m), 2) year of birth 1915-16 (n=168: 94 f and 74 m) and 3) year of birth 1922-23 (n=237: 129 f and 108 m). LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : Understanding speech in the presence of noise can be difficult, especially when suffering from a hearing loss. This thesis examined behavioural and electrophysiological measures of speech processing with the aim of establishing how they were influenced by hearing loss (internal degradation) and listening condition (external degradation).
