Aided cortical response, speech intelligibility, consonant perception and functional performance of young children using conventional amplification or nonlinear frequency compression
(Elsevier, 2014)
ABSTRACT
Objective: The aim of this study was to compare conventional processing with nonlinear
frequency compression (NLFC) in hearing aids for young children with bilateral hearing loss.
Methods: Sixty-four children ...
Etiology and Audiological Outcomes at 3 Years for 364 Children in Australia
(U.S. National Institute of Health PubMed Central, 2013-03-28)
Hearing loss is an etiologically heterogeneous trait with differences in the age of onset, severity and site of lesion. It is caused by a combination of genetic and/or environmental factors. A longitudinal study to examine ...
Language and speech perception of young children with bimodal fitting or bilateral cochlear implants
(Cochlear Implants International, 2014-05-01)
This paper compares language development and speech perception of children with bimodal fitting ( a cochlear implant in one ear and a hearing aid in the opposite ear) or bilateral cochlear implantation
Cortical auditory evoked potentials (CAEPs) reveal changes in audibility with nonlinear frequency compression in hearing aids for children: clinical implications
(Seminars in Hearing, Oct 2015)
Children with hearing loss are detected soon after birth via newborn hearing screening. Procedures for early hearing assessment and hearing aid fitting are well-established, but methods for evaluating the effectiveness of ...
Detection rates of cortical auditory evoked potentials at different sensation levels in infants with sensory/ neural hearing loss and auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder
(Seminars in Hearing, 2015)
With the introduction of newborn hearing screening infants are being diagnosed with hearing loss during the first few months of life. For infants with a sensory/ neural hearing loss (SNHL) the audiogram can be estimated ...
A comparison of NAL and DSL prescriptive methods for paediatric hearing-aid fitting: Predicted speech intelligibility and loudness
(2013)
OBJECTIVE—To examine the impact of prescription on predicted speech intelligibility and
loudness for children.
DESIGN—A between-group comparison of Speech Intelligibility Index (SII) and loudness, based
on hearing aids ...
Factors influencing speech perception in noise for 5-yearold children using hearing aids or cochlear implants
(International Journal of Audiology, 2017)
Objective: We investigated the factors influencing speech perception in babble for 5-year-old
children with hearing loss who were using hearing aids (HAs) or cochlear implants (CIs).
Design: Speech reception thresholds ...
Hearing Aid fitting and developmental outcomes of children fit according to either the NAL or DSL prescription : fit-to-target, audibility, speech and language abilities
(International Journal of Audiology, 2017)
Objective: This study compared hearing aid (HA) fitting outcomes and developmental
outcomes of children with hearing loss at 5 years of age.
Design and study sample: HA settings of 232 children that were fit according ...
Chapter 32. Managing infants and children with auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder (ANSD)
(Thieme Publishers, 2017)
Key Points
1. ANSD is a heterogeneous disorder and has a number of potential sites-of-lesion depending on the underlying cause. Hence, the hearing configuration, speech perception, and functional and speech language ...
