1. 16. Otosclerosis; clinical long term-perspectives

   Författare :Ylva Dahlin Redfors; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; otosclerosis; stapedectomy; hearing loss; conductive; hearing aid; health-related quality of life; hearing disability; SF-36; SSQ; IOI-HA; MSCT; CBCT;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis has assessed medical, technical and health-related aspects of otosclerosis from a long-term perspective. A retrospective clinical study was performed where 65 subjects who had previously undergone stapedectomy (1977-1979) were assessed. Twenty-eight - Thirty years later a follow-up was conducted.

   Sammanfattning : Hearing loss (HL) is a health condition that affects more than 360 million people worldwide. The findings from previous research point at the adverse relationship between adults with hearing loss and important aspects of everyday life such as social relations, communication and work-related tasks.

   Sammanfattning : Hearing problems are among the most common causes of disability worldwide for adults. It is currently classified as one of the top five causes of years lived with disability. Between the years 2005 and 2015 the global prevalence of hearing loss increased with about 26 %. LÄS MER

5. 19. Cognition in Hearing Aid Users : Memory for Everyday Speech

   Författare :Hoi Ning Elaine Ng; Jerker Rönnberg; Mary Rudner; Thomas Lunner; Kevin Munro; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :Hearing aid; working memory; free recall; noise reduction; speech recognition; Hörapparat; arbetsminne; återgivning; brusreducering; taluppfattning;

   Sammanfattning : The thesis investigated the importance of cognition for speech understanding in experienced and new hearing aid users. The aims were 1) to develop a cognitive test (Sentence-final Word Identification and Recall, or SWIR test) to measure the effects of a noise reduction algorithm on processing of highly intelligible speech (everyday sentences); 2) to investigate, using the SWIR test, whether hearing aid signal processing would affect memory for heard speech in experienced hearing aid users; 3) to test whether the effects of signal processing on the ability to recall speech would interact with background noise and individual differences in working memory capacity; 4) to explore the potential clinical application of the SWIR test; and 5) to examine the relationship between cognition and speech recognition in noise in new users over the first six months of hearing aid use.

7. 20. Neural and Cognitive Effects of Hearing Loss on Speech Processing

   Författare :Eline Borch Petersen; Thomas Lunner; Stefan Stenfelt; Jonas Obleser; Edmund Lalor; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Hearing loss; speech processing; electroencephalogram EEG; working memory; cognitive load; hearing aid; Hörselnedsättning; bearbetning av tal; elektroencefalogram EEG; arbetsminne; kognitiv belastning; hörapparat;

   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).
