Use of linear frequency transposition in simulated hearing loss.
PURPOSE To demonstrate the usability of new acoustic cues provided by a commercial hearing aid using linear frequency transposition. The importance of auditory training in realizing the benefit was evaluated. RESEARCH DESIGN Quasi-experimental study design. All subjects were tested both with conventional amplification and with linear frequency transposition before and after directed training....
متن کاملThe effects of fundamental frequency and formant space on speaker discrimination through bone-conducted ultrasonic hearing
Human listeners can perceive speech signals from a voicemodulated ultrasonic carrier which is presented through a boneconduction stimulator, even if they are sensorineural hearing loss patients. As an application of this phenomenon, we have been developing a bone-conducted ultrasonic hearing aid (BCUHA). This research examined whether formant space and F0 can be cues of speaker discrimination i...
متن کاملFactors affecting vowel formant discrimination by hearing-impaired listeners.
The goal of this study was to measure the ability of adult hearing-impaired listeners to discriminate formant frequency for vowels in isolation, syllables, and sentences. Vowel formant discrimination for F1 and F2 for the vowels /I epsilon ae / was measured. Four experimental factors were manipulated including linguistic context (isolated vowels, syllables, and sentences), signal level (70 and ...

Objectives: Quality of life, when referring to an individual’s health, is called health-related quality of life. The purpose of this study is to assess self-perceived hearing loss related quality of life of adolescents with hearing loss and its relationship with sex, age sub-groups or school settings with domains of quality of life. Methods: A school based survey was conducted in Tehra...
متن کاملHearing aid benefit in patients with high-frequency hearing loss.
Patients with hearing loss limited to frequencies above 2 kHz are often considered borderline candidates for hearing aids. In this study, we used the Profile of Hearing Aid Benefit to access 134 patients' perceived benefit with a variety of linear hearing aids, some more capable than others at achieving prescribed frequency gain targets. We also sought to explore various audiologic and subject ...
