Hearing loss in children may cause social isolation and poor communication skills, potentially affecting mental disorders quality of life. aids (HA) provide auditory stimuli that can improve children's speech ability influence their A cross-sectional study three special schools-B (SLB-B) Semarang was carried out. total 82 (7-12 years old) with severe hearing or without were included. Quality li...

This study evaluates speech discrimination ability, as determined by a standard test of speech reception in noise, for one type hearing defect commonly found in military personnel, namely, noise-induced high-frequency hearing loss. Enlisted submariners with high-frequency hearing loss (average of 22, 45 and 60 decibels at 3, 4 and 6 kiloHertz, respectively) had poorer scores than a normal-heari...

The purpose of this work is to look at the expectations and actions that exist around the use of hearing protectors. Are our expectations for the performance of hearing protectors rational and is the way we expect them to be used reasonable? Perhaps we are expecting too much of hearing protectors and their ability to effectively reduce noise exposure. Better understanding of expectations and re...

Objectives: Auditory perception or hearing ability is critical for children in acquisition of language and speech; hence hearing loss has different effects on individuals’ linguistic perception, and also on their functions. It seems that deaf people suffer from language and speech impairments such as in perception of complex linguistic constructions. This research was aimed to study the percept...

Noise and noise induced hearing loss (NIHL) in the workplace is a serious issue. Not only can it affect hearing, also ability to work safely. This because noises make difficult hear instructions or safety warnings. Mine workers each have responsibility for relation noise. paper informs underground surface mine operators recognise, manage control risks associated with occupational exposure. It e...

The aim of this study was to explore spoken and sign language comprehension among Deaf Hard-of-Hearing (DHH) adults in Slovenia. A sample 116 DHH participants from eleven Slovenian associations completed a series tasks that were used measure their abilities related language. instructions stratified into three groups according the complexity Positive correlations established between ability DDH ...

When hearing aid wearers communicate with other people, the current hearing aids not only amplify speech signals, but also amplify unwanted background noise. The wears can’t then understand communication speech well due to noise interference. This article investigates a method based on independent component analysis (ICA) with the directional microphone to extract speech signals from complicate...

The ability of listeners with bilateral sensorineural hearing loss to localize a speech source in a multitalker mixture was measured. Five simultaneous words spoken by different talkers were presented over loudspeakers in a small room, and listeners localized one target word. Errors were significantly larger in this group compared to a control group with normal hearing. Localization of the targ...

A pontine intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) evokes several neurological symptoms, due to the various nuclei and nerve fibers; however, hearing loss from a pontine ICH is rare. We have experienced a non-traumatic pontine ICH patient, with hearing loss. A 43-year-old male patient had a massive pontine hemorrhage; his brain magnetic resonance imaging revealed the hemorrhage on the bilateral dorsal pon...
