Download or read book Completely in the canal and bone anchored hearing aids written by and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hearing aids are used to amplify and deliver sounds.1 There are different categories of hearing aids including conventional hearing aids, bone conduction devices, middle-ear implants, and bone-anchored hearing aids (BAHA).1 Conventional hearing aids can be behind the ear, in the ear, in the ear canal, completely-in-the-canal (CIC), on the body, or contralateral routing of signal. [...] The intent is to provide a list of sources and a summary of the best evidence on the topic that CADTH could identify using all reasonable efforts within the time allowed. [...] The included studies for the health technology assessment appeared to be three reviews (no statement regarding the methodological rigour of the reviews), including one from the Medical Advisory Secretariat, Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care and twenty primary studies published after the Ontario review. [...] The authors concluded that there was limited empirical evidence regarding the non-acoustic benefits of BAHA compared to conventional hearing aids or no hearing aids and therefore, physicians should be cautious when advising patients on the non-acoustic benefits of the BAHA. [...] For the Abbreviated Profile of Hearing Aid Benefit, the aided BAHA group performed statistically significantly better on three of four subscales (background noise, ease of communication, and reverberation sections) as well as the global scale compared with the non-aided BAHA group.

This book was released on 2004-01-01 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Due to the substantial progress in the field of cochlear implantation in the last 20 years, it nowadays seems normal when speech reception can be achieved without visual support. The enormous developments make it necessary to frequently reconsider candidacy for implantable hearing aids. In addition to the clinical achievements, cochlear implants also provide a wonderful opportunity for basic scientific research in hearing. The articles of the present issue span the whole range from bone-anchored hearing aids to brainstem implants. They give a valuable insight into current research to both researchers and clinicians.

This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background and objectiveMore than 150,000 patients have regained their hearing with a bone anchored hearing aid (BAHA) since 1977. The audiological benefits of these devices are well documented, however there is a lack of data comparing pre-operative and post-operative quality of life (QOL) benefits.MethodologyProspective study of all adult BAHA insertions in a teaching hospital between 2012-2017. All patients completed the Glasgow health status inventory (GHSI), a validated QOL questionnaire before and three months after loading the BAHA implant.Results62 patients had a unilateral BAHA. All scores improved post-operatively except the social score (Figure 1). A paired T-test showed that the difference in the means in the GHSI total, general and physical scores was statistically significant at the 5% level (p

Download or read book Rehabilitation of Unilateral Profound Sensorineural Hearing Loss with a Bone Anchored Hearing Aid written by Katrise Mary Eager and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The long-term outcomes of subjects fitted with a bone anchored hearing aid (BAHA) for a unilateral profound sensorineural hearing loss (UPSHL) are still evolving. Previous studies have focused on the comparison between shortterm outcomes obtained with hard-wired contralateral routing of signal (CROS) hearing aids and those obtained with BAHA devices. Published results on subjects who have worn their BAHA devices for UPSHL for more than twelve months are limited. This study explored the long-term outcomes of adults fitted with a BAHA for UPSHL. The aims were firstly to examine subjects' pre-operative and postoperative speech perception in quiet and noise, as well as administer two standardised questionnaires, the Abbreviated Profile of Hearing Benefit (APHAB) and the Glasgow Hearing Aid Benefit Profile (GHABP). The second aim was to evaluate the responses of implanted subjects following the preoperative test protocols using a supplementary questionnaire, the Single Sided Deafness Questionnaire (SSDQ). The third aim was to monitor the subjects' implant or repair issues. In addition, questionnaire results were compared to subjects who underwent pre-operative assessment but were not implanted. All subjects had a UPSHL resulting from various aetiologies including vestibular schwannoma or other skull base tumour removal, viral infections, cochlear trauma, idiopathic sudden hearing loss, and Meniere's disease. There was a significant difference between the implanted groups' pre- and post-operative outcomes measures, indicating a treatment effect from the fitting of the BAHA device. No significant changes were found with the non-implanted groups' longterm outcome measures in regards to their perceived hearing difficulties. No significant correlations were found between outcome measures and gender, age of fitting, length of deafness, or ear affected for either group.

Download or read book Binaural Hearing written by Ruth Y. Litovsky and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-03-01 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The field of Binaural Hearing involves studies of auditory perception, physiology, and modeling, including normal and abnormal aspects of the system. Binaural processes involved in both sound localization and speech unmasking have gained a broader interest and have received growing attention in the published literature. The field has undergone some significant changes. There is now a much richer understanding of the many aspects that comprising binaural processing, its role in development, and in success and limitations of hearing-aid and cochlear-implant users. The goal of this volume is to provide an up-to-date reference on the developments and novel ideas in the field of binaural hearing. The primary readership for the volume is expected to be academic specialists in the diverse fields that connect with psychoacoustics, neuroscience, engineering, psychology, audiology, and cochlear implants. This volume will serve as an important resource by way of introduction to the field, in particular for graduate students, postdoctoral scholars, the faculty who train them and clinicians.
