Our aim was to investigate the course of the hearing capacity of the better-hearing ear in single-sided deafness (SSD) and asymmetric hearing loss (AHL) over time, in a multicenter study....
We included 2086 pure-tone audiograms from 323 patients with SSD and AHL from four hospitals and 156 private practice otorhinolaryngologists. We collected: age, gender, etiology, duration of deafness,...
First, individuals with SSD showed a significantly higher hearing threshold from 0.125 to 8 kHz in the better-hearing ear compared to the ISO 7029:2017. The duration of deafness of the poorer-hearing ...
Individuals with SSD show significantly poorer hearing in the better-hearing ear than individuals with NH from the ISO 7029:2017. In clinical practice, we should, therefore, inform our SSD patients th...
Sibling relationships, one of the most extended relationships in life, contribute to an individual's social and emotional development. However, this relationship may be influenced if one sibling has a...
This study explored the influence of a hearing loss on the sibling relationship by gaining the perspectives of the sibling with normal hearing....
Adopting a phenomenological research design, semi-structured online interviews were conducted using Zoom and WhatsApp with nine participants who have siblings with hearing loss....
Hearing loss may significantly impact the normal hearing sibling's quality of life, affecting their psychological and social well-being, familial and peer relationships and overall experiences. Person...
There is a need to include siblings in aural rehabilitation and family engagements related to the child with hearing loss to provide a holistic and more effective rehabilitation and adjustment process...
To identify the impact of social determinants of health and clinical status on referral and intervention for congenital sensorineural hearing loss....
Retrospective chart review of children with confirmed sensorineural or mixed hearing loss between 2013 and 2021 at a single academic medical institution....
Referral rates and timing for hearing rehabilitation, rates and timing of completed evaluation, and rate and timing of amplification were recorded. Patient demographics included gestational age, race,...
There were 216 children with confirmed sensorineural or mixed hearing loss, of which 77 had a unilateral hearing loss and 89 a severe or profound hearing loss. Delayed referral for hearing aid evaluat...
Sociodemographic factors were significantly associated with hearing amplification referral rates and time until amplification for children with identified congenital sensorineural hearing loss. For co...
This study aimed to establish a deep learning-based predictive model for the prognosis of idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL). Data from 1108 patients with SSNHL between January 2015 ...
To analyze hearing performance and expectations regarding the use of hearing aids (HA) by participants with minimal hearing loss....
This research is a primary, observational, longitudinal and prospective study. Two questionnaires, the Speech Spatial Qualities Questionnaire (SSQ) and the Expected Consequences of Hearing Aid Ownersh...
SSQ showed that, for hearing performance, greater difficulties were observed in unfavorable situations such as speech and speech-in-noise, followed by greater ease in locating the sound source and in ...
Minimal hearing loss can negatively influence everyday communicative situations, and the expectation of individuals with minimal hearing loss regarding the use of HA was shown to be high. In addition,...
Communicative impairments during adolescence pose a serious barrier to participation and personality development. The article summarizes relevant disorders of language and hearing in this vulnerable p...
To study the prevalence of risk for hearing impairment in neonates with congenital syphilis in a newborn hearing screening program....
The study design is retrospective, documentary, and is cross-sectional. The sample consisted of newborns who were born between January 2019 and December 2021 and who underwent neonatal hearing screeni...
Among the RIHL observed in the sample, prematurity was more frequent in newborns who passed the screening (55.26%) than in those who failed the test (45.67%). Congenital syphilis was the ninth most fr...
Congenital syphilis was the ninth risk indicator for the most common hearing impairment and, in isolation, did not present a risk for failure in neonatal hearing screening. Notably, congenital syphili...
The purpose of this study is to determine if there are unique customer archetypes that can describe the motivations behind consumer buying choice (in person or online) for hearing aids in hearing heal...
A consumer survey was developed from themes that arose during 11 semistructured interviews with adults who had no previous hearing aid experience. Using Qualtrics research panels, a 28-item questionna...
Two unique customer archetypes were developed using five factors identified in the data set: Physician Trust, Sociability, Comfort Buying Online, Verify Sources, and Reliance on Others. Eighty-four pe...
The two archetypes reflect those with greater comfort with consuming health care online and in person, respectively. However, both archetypes are likely to use in-person models of hearing health care ...

This study aimed to evaluate hearing loss by combining pure tone audiometry (PTA) with subjective hearing level concerning suicidal ideation....
A total of 23,215 individuals from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) between 2009 and 2013 were included. PTA was categorized according to average audiometric thresh...
Among the 23,215 participants aged ≥19 years (mean age 46.52 years), 3,214 (13%) reported having suicidal ideation. According to PTA, moderate to severe hearing loss was related to suicidal ideation (...
The cross-sectional study limits the interpretation of causal relationships....
Subjective hearing loss was more strongly associated with suicidal ideation than hearing loss as measured by PTA....
The WHO emphasizes lifelong management of hearing diseases such as hearing loss and advocates for prevention. The Ear and Hearing Care Situation Analysis (EHCSA) tool was designed by the WHO for asses...
The EHCSA was used as a need assessment of the ear and hearing management services in the country. The EHCSA consists of two sections. Section 1 consists of 41 questions to evaluate health policies an...
There are an estimated 800,000 people with hearing loss in Korea. Policies such as hearing aid support are in place, and outreach services such as free hearing tests are also being actively conducted....
Overall, the domestic ear and hearing management sector has confirmed that policies and services are well-prepared in comparison with advanced countries such as the United States, Iran, and China. The...
