1. 6. Hearing Preservation CI Surgery and Hybrid Hearing : From Anatomical Aspects to Patient Satisfaction

   Författare :Elsa Erixon; Helge Rask-Andersen; Claes Möller; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; anatomic variations; human cochlea; cochlear implantation; EAS; electro-acoustic stimulation; residual hearing; partial deafness; IOI-HA; EQ-5D; Oto-Rhino-Laryngology; Oto-rhino-laryngologi;

   Sammanfattning : A common cause of profound deafness is hair cell dysfunction in the cochlea. Cochlear implants (CI) bypass the hair cells via an electrode and stimulate the cochlear nerve directly. LÄS MER

3. 7. Less is more? Loudness aspects of prescriptive methods for nonlinear hearing aids

   Författare :Karolina Smeds; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :hearing impairment; hearing aid; nonlinear; WDRC; hearing aid experience; prescription; loudness; loudness model; speech intelligibility; preference;

   Sammanfattning : In Sweden, about 10% of the adult population experienceshearing problems that cause them difficulties in everydaycommunication, and approximately 60 000 people are providedwith hearing aids each year. Despite the fact that modernhearing aids can facilitate speech communication in a widerange of listening environments, many hearing-aid users aredissatisfied with their hearing aids. LÄS MER

4. 8. Probabilistic Modelling of Hearing : Speech Recognition and Optimal Audiometry

   Författare :Svante Stadler; Arne Leijon; Stefan Stenfelt; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :auditory models; probabilistic modelling; speech modelling; human speech recognition; hearing aids; cochlear implants; psychoacoustics; diagnostic methods; optimal experiments; audiometry;

   Sammanfattning : Hearing loss afflicts as many as 10\% of our population.Fortunately, technologies designed to alleviate the effects ofhearing loss are improving rapidly, including cochlear implantsand the increasing computing power of digital hearing aids. Thisthesis focuses on theoretically sound methods for improvinghearing aid technology. LÄS MER

5. 9. Aural rehabilitation programs for hearing aid users : Evaluating and clinically applying educational programs, supported via telephone and/or the internet and professionally guided by an audiologist

   Författare :Milijana Malmberg; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Aural rehabilitation; Hearing loss; Counselling; Hearing aids; Internet interventions; Randomized controlled trials; Clinical practice; Patient participation;

   Sammanfattning : Many hearing aid users experience substantial communication difficulties that may affect their participation in daily life situations negatively. This experience can be addressed using follow-up rehabilitation programs, yet the overall availability of such programs in general clinical practice (GCP) is low. LÄS MER

7. 10. Bone conducted sound transmission for communication systems

   Författare :Sabine Reinfeldt; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; bone conduction; sound field hearing; occlusion effect; transcranial transmission; communication system; bone conduction microphone; hearing protection devices; hearing;

   Sammanfattning : Bone conducted (BC) sound is vibrations in the skull bone that are transmitted to the cochlea and perceived as sound, originating from a sound field or a vibration transducer. This transmission path can be advantageous for communication systems in some situations, e.g. LÄS MER
