OBJECTIVE To examine the impact of hearing loss (HL) on audiovisual (AV) processing in the aging population. We hypothesized that age-related HL would have a pervasive effect on sensory processing, extending beyond the auditory domain. Specifically, we predicted that decreased auditory input to the neural system, in the form of HL over time, would have deleterious effects on multisensory mechan...

Introduction: Neonatal hypernatremia dehydration (NHD) is a dangerous condition in neonates, which is accompanied by acute complications (renal failure, cerebral edema, and cerebral hemorrhage) and chronic complications (developmental delay). Children begin learning language from birth, and hearing impairment interferes with this process. We assessed the hearing status of infants with hypernatr...

PURPOSE To examine age-related differences in auditory speech recognition and visual text recognition performance for parallel sets of stimulus materials in the auditory and visual modalities. In addition, the effects of variation in rate of presentation of stimuli in each modality were investigated in each age group. METHOD A mixed-model design was used in which 3 independent groups (13 youn...

OBJECTIVE To determine whether chronic conductive hearing loss in adults results in changes in the auditory brainstem response (ABR) similar to those observed in children with histories of otitis media with effusion. DESIGN Test of effect of unilateral conductive hearing loss on adult ABR using age-matched control group and subjects as their own controls. SUBJECTS Twelve adults with a histo...

Background: Hearing is the ability to perceive sound. A person said have hearing loss when he/she not able hear as well someone with a normal threshold of 25 dB or better in both ears. Binocular function plays an important role it helps coordinate eyes.Methodology: prospective study was conducted 103 subjects. After taking permission authority and impairment school, consent taken from participa...
