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...
Infants diagnosed with a conductive hearing loss (CHL) are at increased risk of developmental delays. Using a sample of infants diagnosed with CHL through UNHS, this study aimed to investigate the rel...
Retrospective analysis was conducted for all infants with CHL born between 01/01/2007 and 31/12/2018 who had received UNHS. Chi squared analysis was conducted on data from 1208 records....
Infants with ≥1 risk factor for hearing loss were more likely to attend more than three occasions of service. Infants who were bilateral refer/medical exclusion, Torres Strait Islander, had ≥1 risk fa...
These findings highlight the relationship between clinical/demographic characteristics and occasions of service to diagnose CHL in children, including the CHL profile. An understanding of this relatio...
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...
Functional hearing loss (FHL) is a disorder in which there are abnormal values on a hearing test, despite the absence of organic abnormalities in the peripheral and central auditory pathways. Here, we...
We retrospectively examined 16 patients assessed under a diagnosis of FHL. After interventions such as psychological counseling by our pediatrics and psychiatry departments, we compared the clinical p...
Fourteen patients visited a pediatrician and two chose not to do so. A discrepancy between the maximum and minimum values of the four index scores was observed in all patients in which WISC-IV (the fo...
Developmental imbalances were suspected in all 12 children who visited a pediatrician and completed the WISC-IV. Cooperation with pediatricians, psychiatrists, and other health professionals is desira...
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 ...

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...
To determine hearing preservation and subjective benefit after cochlear implant (CI) surgery in patients with low frequency hearing in the ear to be implanted (i.e., they have partial deafness, PD) an...
There were two study groups. The test group was made up of 12 adult patients (mean age 43.4 years; SD 13.6) with normal hearing or mild hearing loss in one ear, and with PD in the ear to be implanted....
The differences in HP% between the groups were not significant: mean hearing preservation (HP%) in the test group was 82% one month after CI surgery and 75% some 14 months after implantation; correspo...
To a large extent it was possible to preserve low-frequency hearing in the implanted ear. This means that individuals with low frequency hearing in the implanted ear (partial deafness) and with normal...
Longitudinally verify the influence of auditory tonal thresholds obtained with transcutaneous and percutaneous bone-anchored hearing aids on speech perception in individuals with external and/or middl...
Observational, retrospective, longitudinal follow-up study of 30 unilateral users of the transcutaneous and percutaneous Baha® system for the collection of secondary data on pure tone thresholds obtai...
There was a significant difference between pure tone thresholds obtained at frequencies of 3 and 4kHz with better results for the percutaneous technique at all evaluation moments. For both systems, be...
The percutaneous system provided better audibility for high frequencies; however, such audibility did not influence sentence recognition in the silent situation for both systems. For the noise situati...
One in six Americans suffers from hearing loss. While treatment with amplification is possible for many, the acceptance rate of hearing aids is low. Poor device fitting is one of the reasons. The hear...
With the implementation of Universal Newborn Hearing Screening, early diagnosis and referral has been expedited. Many patients who refer screening pass subsequent testing with otoacoustic emissions (O...
We performed a chart review of infants who were evaluated after referring newborn hearing screening from 2017 to 2021. Data collected included birth history, hospital screening results, subsequent aud...
Of the 450 patients, 83.8% (n = 377) had normal hearing bilaterally after repeat testing (OAE and/or ABR). Thirty five patients were diagnosed with otitis media with effusion (OME) (7.8%) and 17 patie...
Our incidence of sensorineural hearing loss was 3.8% (95% CI 2.0, 5.5), compared to rates of 0.44 to 68% in the published literature. Most patients had normal hearing, usually identified after only 1 ...
