Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Auditory Brainstem Evoked Potentials: Clinical and Research Applications provides a solid foundation of the theoretical principles of auditory evoked potentials. This understanding is important for both the development of optimal clinical test strategies, and interpretation of test results. Developed for graduate-level audiology students, this comprehensive text aims to build a fundamental understanding of auditory evoked brainstem responses (ABR), and their relationship to normal and impaired auditory function, as well as its various audiologic and neurootologic applications. In addition to covering the classical onset ABR, the book provides a thorough review of sustained brainstem responses elicited by complex sounds, including auditory steady state response (ASSR), envelope following response (EFR), and frequency following response (FFR), and the growing clinical and research applications of these responses. By exploring why certain stimulus manipulations are required to answer specific clinical questions, the author provides the resources needed for students and clinicians to make reasoned decisions about the optimal protocol to use in a given situation. Key Features: * A full chapter devoted to laboratory exercises * Numerous illustrations to help explain key concepts * Description of neural bases underlying amplitude and latency changes * Troubleshooting techniques * End-of-chapter summaries

Download or read book Functional Neurobiology of Aging written by Patrick R. Hof and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2001-01-11 with total page 989 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some well-known age-related neurological diseases include Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, deafness, and blindness. Even more common are the problems of aging which are not due to disease but to more subtle impairments in neurobiological systems, including impairments in vision, memory loss, muscle weakening, and loss of reproductive functions, changes in body weight, and sleeplessness. As the average age of our society increases, diseases of aging continue to become more common, and conditions associated with aging need more attention by doctors and researchers. In 1991, patients over the age of 65 saw their doctors an average of eight times per year. Research funding is provided by the Neuroscience and Neuropsychology of Aging (NNA) Program, which is run by the National Institute on Aging. This book offers a comprehensive overview of all topics related to functional impairments which are related to the aging brain and nervous system. It is organized according to four general functions: movement, senses, memory, and neuroendocrine regulation. Written by the leading researchers in the field, this comprehensive work addresses both impairments associated with diseases and not associated with diseases, making it easier to understand the mechanisms involved. Functional Neurobiology of Aging is an important reference for professionals and students involved in aging research, as well as physicians who need to recognize and understand age-related impairments. - Organized by function, making it easy to find and understand the material - Addresses impairments both associated with diseases and not associated with diseases - Written by leading researchers in the field - Most comprehensive source of information on the neurobiology of aging

Download or read book Hearing Loss written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2004-12-17 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Millions of Americans experience some degree of hearing loss. The Social Security Administration (SSA) operates programs that provide cash disability benefits to people with permanent impairments like hearing loss, if they can show that their impairments meet stringent SSA criteria and their earnings are below an SSA threshold. The National Research Council convened an expert committee at the request of the SSA to study the issues related to disability determination for people with hearing loss. This volume is the product of that study. Hearing Loss: Determining Eligibility for Social Security Benefits reviews current knowledge about hearing loss and its measurement and treatment, and provides an evaluation of the strengths and weaknesses of the current processes and criteria. It recommends changes to strengthen the disability determination process and ensure its reliability and fairness. The book addresses criteria for selection of pure tone and speech tests, guidelines for test administration, testing of hearing in noise, special issues related to testing children, and the difficulty of predicting work capacity from clinical hearing test results. It should be useful to audiologists, otolaryngologists, disability advocates, and others who are concerned with people who have hearing loss.

Download or read book Noise Induced Hearing Loss written by Colleen G. Le Prell and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-10-30 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exposure to loud noise continues to be the largest cause of hearing loss in the adult population. The problem of NIHL impacts a number of disciplines. US standards for permissible noise exposure were originally published in 1968 and remain largely unchanged today. Indeed, permissible noise exposure for US personnel is significantly greater than that allowed in numerous other countries, including for example, Canada, China, Brazil, Mexico, and the European Union. However, there have been a number of discoveries and advances that have increased our understanding of the mechanisms of NIHL. These advances have the potential to impact how NIHL can be prevented and how our noise standards can be made more appropriate.

Download or read book The Use of Simulation Techniques to Investigate the Effects of Conductive Hearing Loss on the Auditory Brainstem Response written by Molly Bishop and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A click-evoked Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR) was recorded on 28 normal hearing adult participants to determine the effects of different degrees of conductive hearing loss on the response properties of the ABR. Participants were divided at random into two groups: the normal hearing group and the simulated conductive hearing loss group. In the normal hearing group, baseline behavioral pure tone audiometry from 250-8000 Hz and acoustic immittance testing (tympanometry and contralateral acoustic reflex thresholds from 500-2000 Hz) were performed to ensure normal hearing and middle ear function. Then, ABR testing was performed in both right and left ears to click stimuli beginning at 80 dBnHL. Stimulus intensity was decreased in 10 dB increments until a stimulus intensity of 30 dBnHL was reached. At stimulus intensities less than 30 dB nHL, stimulus intensity was decreased in 5 dB increments until the participant's ABR threshold was determined. In the simulated conductive hearing loss group, baseline behavioral pure tone audiometry from 250-8000 Hz and acoustic immittance testing (tympanometry and contralateral acoustic reflex thresholds from 500-2000 Hz) were performed to ensure normal hearing and middle ear function. Then, 5 mm of moleskin was placed in the tubing for the ER3A insert receivers and pure tone air conduction thresholds were re-measured in each ear. For the conductive group, the ABR was recorded using the ER3A insert receivers with moleskin. The ABR was recorded in both right and left ears to click stimuli beginning at 80 dBnHL. Stimulus intensity was decreased in 10 dB increments until a stimulus intensity of 60 dBnHL was reached. At stimulus intensities less than 60 dBnHL, stimulus intensity was decreased in 5 dB increments until the participant's ABR threshold was determined. For both groups, results revealed an increase in the mean absolute latencies of waves I, III, and V as stimulus intensity decreased. In contrast, results showed a decrease in the mean peak-to-peak amplitudes for waves I-I' and V-V' as a function of stimulus intensity. Mean interpeak latency values were consistent across stimulus intensities. Mean absolute latency values for all waves were greater for the simulated hearing loss group than the normal hearing group. In contrast, the mean peak-to-peak amplitude values for waves I-I' and V-V' were smaller for the simulated hearing loss group than the normal hearing group. These results were compared to previous data collected in the ABR literature on both normal hearing and conductive hearing loss participants. Results for both groups in the current study were in good agreement with the ABR literature as seen in the mean ABR values and the variability represented by standard deviation measurements. The data collected from this study will be used to develop a parametric approach to generating simulated responses for the commercially available Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR) recording simulator, ISAO by Intelligent Hearing Systems. This data will serve as basis for developing functions of response characteristics such as peak latency and amplitude as well as recording parameters like intensity, rate and stimulus characteristics. Further research should be conducted to determine the effects of other stimulus parameters on the ABR. These stimulus parameters include rate, polarity, and frequency.
