چکیده
8. Acknowledgments While most people with tinnitus have elevated hearing thresholds, the correspondence between tinnitus and hearing loss is far from perfect (Fowler, 1944, 1965; Heller and Bergman, 1953). People with normal thresholds can have tinnitus, and people with identical thresholds in each ear can have unilateral tinnitus. This imperfect correspondence might result because some people have tinnitus that arises solely from central nervous system pathology. However, it is also possible that some forms of tinnitus arise from peripheral auditory pathology that does not alter threshold sensitivity. The present study begins to explore the latter possibility by comparing the DPOAEs of people with tinnitus and normal audiograms to those of audiometrically-matched control subjects without tinnitus. While previous studies have compared the DPOAEs of tinnitus and non-tinnitus subjects with normal audiograms (Gouveris et al., 2005; Ozimek et al., 2006; Job et al., 2007), the present study is different in its examination of individual subject data, as well as group averages. Our preliminary findings suggest the DPOAEs of audiometrically-normal tinnitus subjects are, on average, abnormal, but that the abnormality may be present in only a subset of people with tinnitus.

متن کاملSecurity Challenges in Adaptive e-Health Processes
E-health scenarios demand system-based support of process-oriented information systems. As most of the processes in this domain have to be flexibly adapted to meet exceptional or unforeseen situations, flexible processoriented information systems (POIS) are needed which support ad-hoc deviations at the process instance level. However, e-health scenarios are also very sensitive with regard to pr...
متن کاملNew findings on unconscious versus conscious thought in decision making: additional empirical data and meta-analysis
Ninety-eight Australian students participated in a functional replication of a study published by Dijksterhuis et al. (2006). The results indicated that unconscious thought does not necessarily lead to better normative decision making performance than conscious thought, which is contrary to the results found in Dijksterhuis et al. Since other studies showed a positive, though statistically not ...
