Risk factors for hearing loss in infants: a systematic review
Background and Objective: Hearing loss as a sensory disorder is among the most common developmental disorders. Based on the universal neonatal screening results, the incidence of hearing deficit is 1–3 per 1000 live births in the well-baby nursery population and 2–4 in 100 newborns in the intensive care community. The aim of this study was to highlight the main risk factors for hearing loss bas...
متن کاملAcceptable noise level as a predictor of hearing aid use.
Acceptable noise level (ANL) measures a listener's reaction to background noise while listening to speech. Relations among hearing aid use and ANL, speech in noise (SPIN) scores, and listener characteristics (age, gender, pure-tone average) were investigated in 191 listeners with hearing impairment. Listeners were assigned to one of three groups based on patterns of hearing aid use: full-time u...
متن کاملCaring for older adults with hearing loss.
This article discusses hearing impairment and the frequency with which it occurs in older adults. Anatomy and physiology of the ear are examined. Categories of hearing loss, causes, assessment and management are explored, including hearing aids, auditory implants and approaches to communication with hearing-impaired patients.
متن کاملScreening for hearing loss in older adults.
The Task Force reviewed research studies on the use of screening tools to identify older adults who might have hearing loss. The recommendation summarizes what it learned about the potential benefits and harms of this screening: There is not enough evidence to determine whether screening helps people who are not aware of hearing loss or who think their hearing is worse but have not chosen to ta...
متن کاملAcceptable noise level: repeatability with Danish and non-semantic speech materials for adults with normal hearing.
OBJECTIVE The acceptable noise level (ANL) is used to quantify the amount of background noise that subjects can accept while listening to speech, and is suggested for prediction of individual hearing-aid use. The aim of this study was to assess the repeatability of the ANL measured in normal-hearing subjects using running Danish and non-semantic speech materials as stimuli and modulated speech-...
