Objective: To evaluate the audiological aspects of vestibular schwannoma (VS) patients with normal hearing. Study Design: Retrospective study. Setting: Quaternary referral center for skull base pathologies. Patients: The records on 4,000 patients who had been diagnosed with VS between 1986 and December 2017 were retrospectively reviewed. The patients included in the study were the ones who complied with the strict audiological normality criteria, as follows: a pure tone hearing threshold (at the...

Background: Previous research has demonstrated an association of scores on a visual test of nonverbal reasoning, Raven’s Progressive Matrices (RPM), with scores on open-set sentence recognition in quiet for adult cochlear implant (CI) users as well as for adults with normal hearing (NH) listening to noise-vocoded sentence materials. Moreover, in that study, CI users demonstrated poorer nonverbal reasoning when compared with NH peers. However, it remains unclear what underlying neurocognitive processes...

The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) is encouraging the public to make hearing protection a priority with three tips on basic precautionary measures to take at fireworks, festivals, parades, and other noise-filled events. ASHA recommends the use of hearing protection for all age groups. Basic earplugs, which can be picked up at most drug stores, offer good hearing protection for most teens and adults, but children are generally better off using well-fitted earmuffs instead. Another...

WolfAbstractBackgroundIn subjects with Chopart amputation the foot lever is clearly diminished. Usually high or low profile prostheses are routinely utilized to re-establish the lost forefoot lever.Research questionThe aim of this study was to investigate to what extent the proposed prostheses were able to replace the forefoot lever in chopart-amputees.MethodsAn...

Publication date: Available online 2 July 2019Source: Hearing ResearchAuthor(s): Markus Garrett, Sarah VerhulstAbstractEmerging evidence suggests that cochlear synaptopathy is a common feature of sensorineural hearing loss, but it is not known to what extent electrophysiological metrics targeting synaptopathy in animals can be applied to people, such as those with impaired audiograms. This study investigates the applicability of subcortical electrophysiological measures associated with synaptopathy,...
