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 Distortion Product Otoacoustic Emission Components as a Potential Marker of Preclinical Noise Injury to the Cochleas written by Gavin Coad and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: Excessive noise exposure can lead to noise induced hearing loss (NIHL) and hearing conservation programmes are essential to prevent occupational hearing loss. These programmes rely on monitoring hearing using pure tone audiometry. However, audiometry is not very sensitive and only detects a permanent hearing loss after significant injury has occurred. Distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs) are generated by cochlear non-linear physiological processes associated with the outer hairs cells that underpin detection of sound, thus DPOAEs have promise as a tool to detect and monitor cochlear hair cell damage in NIHL. The DPOAE has two components, one generated at the point of interaction between the primaries (generator), the second reflected from the characteristic place of the DPOAE frequency (reflected). Some of the variability in DPOAE is believed to result from the interaction of the components, termed the DPOAE fine structure, and extracting the components may reduce the variability and improve the sensitivity of the DPOAE to injury. This study investigated the feasibility and reliability of a new approach to separating the DPOAE components, and their relationship to hearing measures in people with and without exposure to noise. Methods: Logarithmically swept primaries with a least-squares-fit (LSF) analysis were used to separate the DPOAE components, and the approach was evaluated and optimised in normally hearing subjects. Two studies followed that investigated the components of the DPOAE and how they correlate with behavioural measures of hearing. Firstly, in subjects (n=16) with 'normal' hearing (20 dB HL), both behavioural measures of the auditory filter (notched-noise maskers) and threshold were compared to the components of the DPOAE. In the second study subjects (108 men) with a mixture of thresholds, noise exposure and age were recruited and then divided into two equal sized and age matched groups (noise exposed and non-noise exposed) based on a detailed history of self-reported noise exposure. The DPOAE components were compared to audiometric threshold and behavioural measures of compressive nonlinearity using Schroeder-phase masked thresholds. Results: Overall, psychoacoustic measures of auditory filter and cochlear non-linearity were influenced by audiometric threshold, and exhibited no relationship with DPOAE level in subjects with 'normal' hearing (

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Institute of Medicine carried out a study mandated by Congress and sponsored by the Department of Veterans Affairs to provide an assessment of several issues related to noise-induced hearing loss and tinnitus associated with service in the Armed Forces since World War II. The resulting book, Noise and Military Service: Implications for Hearing Loss and Tinnitus, presents findings on the presence of hazardous noise in military settings, levels of noise exposure necessary to cause hearing loss or tinnitus, risk factors for noise-induced hearing loss and tinnitus, the timing of the effects of noise exposure on hearing, and the adequacy of military hearing conservation programs and audiometric testing. The book stresses the importance of conducting hearing tests (audiograms) at the beginning and end of military service for all military personnel and recommends several steps aimed at improving the military services' prevention of and surveillance for hearing loss and tinnitus. The book also identifies research needs, emphasizing topics specifically related to military service.

Download or read book Hearing Loss Mechanisms Prevention and Cure written by Huawei Li and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-03-26 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book systematically discusses the pathogenesis, prevention, and the current and potential clinical treatment of hearing loss, as well as the latest advances in hearing research. Hearing loss is a prevalent sensory disorder, which according to a 2015 World Health Organization (WHO) report affected 9% of the global population in 2015. As populations continue to age, more and more people are suffering from the condition, with 60% of those aged between 65 and 75 affected. Hearing loss seriously affects patients’ ability to work ability and quality of life, and as such deafness has become an increasingly urgent social problem around the globe. Sensorineural hearing loss is mainly caused by damage to the hair cells (HCs), and the subsequent loss of spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs). Damage to the HCs in the inner ear can result from exposure to loud noises and environmental and chemical toxins as well as genetic disorders, aging, and certain medications. This book provides ENT specialists and researchers, as well as individuals affected a comprehensive introduction to the field of hearing loss.
