Hearing loss and meningitis were correlate in some aspects. Hearing loss is the situation that can be shown in cochlear or retrocochlear defects. Cochlear hearing loss is caused by inner or outer hair cell damage (however cochlear hearing loss has another causes, such as defect of arterial spiral ganglion, basilar and tectorial membrane) and retrocochlear hearing loss has neural origin and meni...

Wide dynamic range compression has become the mostly used signal processing strategy for mild to moderate hearing losses although there is still some discussion going on regarding the details of such compression systems. Furthermore, sophisticated signal processing strategies such as automatic program selection, adaptive digital directional microphones and sophisticated noise canceling schemes ...

NOVEL WORD LEARNING OF CHILDREN WITH HEARING IMPAIRMENT AND CHILDREN WITH TYPICAL HEARING By Matthew R. Clark Children with hearing impairment may be at risk for reading difficulty due, in part, to delayed vocabulary development. However, advances in amplification technology, most notably cochlear implant technology, make it possible for children with profound hearing loss to acquire oral langu...

Copyright © 2007 Massachusetts Medical Society. A 4-month-old baby girl whose parents and 6-year-old brother have severe-to-profound sensorineural hearing loss is referred for consideration for cochlear implantation. Each of the baby’s parents had previously received a cochlear implant in adulthood, and her older brother had received a cochlear implant at 18 months of age. The family uses oral ...

OBJECTIVES While a severe to profound sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) may cause serious disability in verbal communication, there have been little studies focusing on this high degree SSNHL. The present study was aimed to investigate the characteristics of hearing recovery in a high degree SSNHL (>70 dB). METHODS Three hundred and two SSNHL patients were enrolled. For a long-term fo...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the relationship between mumps and the extent of hearing impairment and otolith organ damage. METHODS A total of 27 patients with unilateral hearing impairment following mumps were enrolled. The degrees of hearing loss and otolith organ damage were confirmed by audiometric and vestibular evoked myogenic potential [VEMP] tests. All the results were compared and analyze...

A survey of aetiological investigations arranged on children with severe/profound bilateral sensorineural hearing impairment by ENT consultants and community paediatricians working in audiology is described. Greater routine use of ECG, urine analysis, and ophthalmological assessment is needed, with a more selective approach to other investigations as recommended by the British Association of Au...

one of the complications of end-stage renal disease (esrd) is sensorineural hearing loss (snhl). despite large number of studies on adults esrd patients, there are only a few reported surveys regarding snhl in children. to determine the prevalence of snhl in children with esrd and its relationship with sex of patients, presence of hypertension, history of ototoxic drugs administration and durat...

OBJECTIVE Hearing impairment is suggested to be associated with depression in the elderly. The present study evaluated the risk of depression after hearing impairment in all age groups matched by age, sex, income, and region of residence. METHODS The Korean Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service-National Patient Samples were collected for a period from 2002 to 2013. Hearing impairment...
