Subclinical hearing loss (SCHL) (previously defined by our group as a four-frequency pure tone average [PTA4] >0 to ≤25 dB) has recently been associated with depressive symptoms and cognitive decline....
Analysis of biennial cross-sectional epidemiologic survey (National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 1999-2012, 2015-2016)....

PTA4 (500, 1,000, 2,000, 4,000 Hz), high-frequency pure tone average (PTAhf) (6,000, 8,000 Hz), reported hearing aid use, subjective difficulty hearing....
There were 806,705 Americans with SCHL who wore hearing aids (or 0.35% of the 227,324,096 Americans with SCHL; 95% confidence interval = 0.23%-0.54%). Among those with SCHL, 14.6% (33.1 million Americ...
Despite hearing loss traditionally being defined by PTA4 ≤ 25 dB in the United States, nearly 1 million adults and adolescents with SCHL wore hearing aids, and nearly half with borderline HL had subje...
This review article reviews the contemporary studies of localization ability for different populations in different listening environments and provides possible future research directions....
The ability to accurately localize a sound source relying on three cues (interaural time difference, interaural level difference, and spectral cues) is important for communication, learning, and safet...
Despite previous research into the psychosocial impact of hearing loss, little detail is known regarding the hearing and hearing-aid-related emotional states experienced by adults with hearing loss in...
Individual remote semi-structured interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim and qualitatively analysed with reflexive and inductive thematic analysis....
Seventeen participants (9 female) with hearing loss (age range 44-74 years) participated. Ten used bilateral hearing aids, four unilateral and three used no hearing aids at the time of interviews....
The four main themes which emerged from the data were: identity and self-image, autonomy and control, personality and dominant emotional states and situational cost/benefit analysis with respect to us...
This study goes beyond previous literature by providing a more detailed insight into emotions related to hearing and hearing-aids in adults. Hearing loss causes a multitude of negative emotions, while...
Premature infants are at high risk for hearing loss (HL). The aim of the present study is to assess the frequency of preterm infants affected by HL who experience hearing improvement over months and e...
This retrospective study was conducted in a third-level referral audiologic center. Preterm infants with a confirmed diagnosis of sensorineural HL within the first 3 months of life were reassessed at ...
A total of 138 preterm infants (71 male and 67 female; mean gestational age: 30...
This study confirms the importance of performing a long audiological follow-up and postponing the indication for cochlear implantation in children with a history of preterm birth. Because of the expre...
The purpose of this study was to (a) investigate which speech material is most appropriate as stimulus in head shadow effect (HSE) and binaural squelch (SQ) tests, (b) obtain normative values of both ...
Study participants consisted of 30 normal-hearing (NH) persons and 34 bilateral CI users. This study consisted of three phases. In the first phase, three different speech materials (1) monosyllabic wo...
The results of the first phase indicated that spondees and sentences were more robust materials compared with monosyllables. Although the effect size and interindividual variability were comparable fo...
Sentences are preferred as stimulus material in the binaural HSE and SQ tests. Normative data are given for HSE and SQ with the LiCoS (linguistically controlled sentences) test. HSE is present for all...
To describe the audiological characteristics and the type of intervention chosen on unilateral hearing loss cases in children and adolescents as well as to analyze correlations between the degree of h...
Observational, descriptive and retrospective study, carried out with information of 34 medical records from children and adolescents with unilateral hearing loss, assessed by two auditory rehabilitati...
A predominance of profound sensorineural unilateral hearing loss in the right ear, of pre-lingual character, with 20.6% of malformations. The most adopted intervention was the hearing aid indication, ...
The indication of hearing aids is the most frequent and this decision is influenced by the degree of the hearing loss, in which the devices are mostly indicated for mild to severe losses, with bigger ...
The hippocampus has a well-established role in spatial and episodic memory but a broader function has been proposed including aspects of perception and relational processing. Neural bases of sound ana...
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...
Alterations of the speech signal, including additive noise and nonlinear distortion, can reduce speech intelligibility and quality. Hearing aids present an especially complicated situation since these...
Implantable hearing devices are indicated for candidates who could not benefit from conventional hearing aids. This study aimed at evaluating their effectiveness in rehabilitation of hearing loss....
This study included patients who received bone conduction implants at Tertiary Teaching Hospitals, between December 2018 and November 2020. Data were collected prospectively, and patients were assesse...
A total of seventy patients were included, thirty-seven of them were implanted with tBCHD and thirty-three with pBCHD. Fifty-five patients were fitted unilaterally compared to 15 bilateral fitting. Pr...
Bone conduction hearing devices are effective solution for rehabilitation of hearing loss. Bilateral fitting yields satisfactory outcomes in suitable candidates. Transcutaneous devices carry significa...
