This book was released on 2005 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To obtain ear-specific bone-conduction thresholds, masking of the non-test ear is often required. Masking is not currently utilized in the pediatric diagnostic test battery, partly because effective masking levels (EMLs) for bone-conducted stimuli in young infants are not known. The purpose of this study is to determine EMLs for auditory steady-state responses (ASSRs) elicited by bone-conducted stimuli in a group of normal-hearing infants under six-months of age and adults. Using a two-channel ASSR recording, single 1000- and 4000-Hz bone-conducted AM/FM stimuli were masked out with 1 and 4 kHz of narrowband noise presented binaurally. Taking into consideration maturational differences in real-ear-to-coupler differences (RECDs) and bone-conduction sensitivity (Small & Stapells, 2008a), it was predicted that infants would require more and less masking at 1000 and 4000 Hz, respectively. As expected, infants have higher and lower EMLs at 1000 and 4000 Hz, respectively, compared to adults. When RECDs are accounted for, infants have even higher EMLs at 1000 Hz and similar EMLs at 4000 Hz compared to adults. This is consistent with the frequency-dependent differences in boneconduction sensitivity for infants. When differences in bone-conduction sensitivity are accounted for, infants have lower EMLs at both frequencies. When RECDs and boneconduction sensitivity are taken into account, infants have lower EMLs at 1000 Hz and similar EMLs at 4000 Hz. Based on ipsilateral/contralateral asymmetries in masked amplitudes, adults were estimated to have inter-aural attenuations of at least 0-5 and 0-10 dB at 1000 and 4000 Hz, respectively. In contrast, infants were estimated to have inter-aural attenuations of at least 10 dB at 1000 Hz and minimum inter-aural attenuations of greater than 35 dB at 4000 Hz. Similar to behvaioural investigations, the amplitude findings of this study suggest processing efficiency may be immature at 1000 Hz, but not at 4000 Hz. Based on the findings of.

Download or read book Basic Concepts of Clinical Electrophysiology in Audiology written by John D. Durrant and published by Plural Publishing. This book was released on 2022-01-07 with total page 505 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Basic Concepts of Clinical Electrophysiology in Audiology is a revolutionary textbook, combining the research and expertise of both distinguished experts and up-and-coming voices in the field. By taking a multidisciplinary approach to the subject, the editors of this graduate-level text break down all aspects of electrophysiology to make it accessible to audiology students. In addition to defining the basics of the tools of the trade and their routine uses, the authors also provide ample presentations of new approaches currently undergoing continuing research and development. The goal of this textbook is to give developing audiologists a broad and solid basis of understanding of the methods in common or promising practice. Throughout the text, individual chapters are divided into “episodes,” each examining a facet of the overarching chapter’s topic. With different experts handling each episode, readers are exposed to outstanding professionals in the field. This text singularly stitches together the chapters and their episodes to build from foundational concepts to more complex issues that clinicians are likely to face on their road to full clinical competency. As collections of episodes, the writers and editors thus endeavor to present a series of stories that build throughout the book, in turn allowing readers to build a broader interest in the subject. Key Features * Heads Up sections in each chapter introduce more advanced content to expose readers to what lies beyond the basic level and further enhance the main chapter content and “entertainment value” * Take home messages at the end of each chapter serve to focus the reader’s attention, encourage review, and discourage superficial learning by “just reading the abstract” * More than 450 innovative illustrations use combinations of panels, insets, and/or gray tone to facilitate reader understanding, optimize portrayal of data, and unify concepts across chapters * Numerous case studies and references to practical clinical issues and results are included throughout the book * Keywords are highlighted in-text to improve both attention and retention of critical terms and ease of returning to review them

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The middle ear plays a vital role in the sense and sensitivity of hearing. Of the various characteristics that distinguish mammals from other vertebrates, several pertain specifically to the middle-ear system, such as the presence of three middle-ear bones and the four-layer composite structure of the tympanic membrane. The Middle Ear attempts to elucidate the role this system plays in sound transmission, as viewed from both scientific and clinical perspectives.

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.
