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 Contralateral Stimulus Comparison of the Acoustic Reflex Via Reflectance Measures written by Jinna Simone Borgstrom and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The acoustic reflex (AR) occurs as the result of a contraction of the stapedius muscle in response to the presentation of a loud sound. When the stapedius muscle contracts, the ossicular chain and the tympanic membrane are stiffened. Generally, increased stiffness of the middle ear system causes low frequency sounds to be more readily reflected off the tympanic membrane, while high frequency sounds are more easily admitted into the middle ear. Wideband power reflectance (WPR) measures energy across a broad frequency range (200-6000Hz) as it is reflected off of the tympanic membrane. Use of WPR allows for measurement of stiffness effects across frequencies, in comparison to conventional immittance instruments, which measure admittance changes at a single probe tone frequency (226Hz). The purpose of this study was to identify whether reflectance measures could be used to differentiate reflectance patterns resulting from activation of the acoustic reflex as a function of contralateral stimulus type (broadband noise, 500, 1000, 2000 and 4000Hz). This study hypothesized that innervation distribution patterns of the basilar membrane would result in the AR producing different stiffness changes based on contralateral stimulus type. This study additionally demonstrates the potential of WPR to enhance understanding of the AR effects on the auditory system.

Download or read book The Acoustic Reflex written by Shlomo Silman and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2012-12-02 with total page 549 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Acoustic Reflex discusses the acoustic reflex - its magnitude in differential diagnosis, threshold, latency, and other related topics. The book covers different topics such as the neurophysiological basis of the acoustic middle-ear reflex and its characteristics; impedance concepts relating to it; and theories of middle-ear muscle function. The text also encompasses the evaluation of the response time of acoustic-immittance instruments; the contralateral acoustic-reflex threshold and its application for prediction of hearing loss; the magnitude and growth of the acoustic; the ipsilateral acoustic reflex; and the acoustic reflex latency. The monograph is recommended for clinicians and researchers in audiology, deaf education, hearing science, neurology, otolaryngology, physiology, and psychology. The book will also serve as a reference text in a course on impedance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Knowledge about the structure and function of the inner ear is vital to an understanding of vertebrate hearing. This volume presents a detailed overview of the mammalian cochlea from its anatomy and physiology to its biophysics and biochemistry. The nine review chapters, written by internationally distinguished auditory researchers, provide a detailed and unified introduction to sound processing in the cochlea and the steps by which the ensuing signals are prepared for the central nervous system.

Download or read book Hearing Science and Hearing Disorders written by M.E. Lutman and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2014-06-28 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hearing Science and Hearing Disorders focuses on the nature of the processes in the inner ear and the nervous system that mediate hearing. Organized into eight chapters, this book first discusses the nature of speech communication, the extent of hearing problems, and the pathophysiology of hearing. Four core chapters follow, in which four areas of central importance to understanding hearing disorders and their effects are covered. These areas are assessment of auditory function, the scope for technological solutions, the nature of audio-visual speech perception, and the effects of deafness upon speech production. This book will be valuable to students; to academic and professional workers concerned with hearing, speech, and their disorders; and to scientifically or medically literate people in general.
