Horizontal Localization in Simulated Unilateral Hearing Loss
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The ability to localize a sound source is one of the binaural hearing benefits in a horizontal plane based on interaural time difference and interaural intensity difference. Unilateral or bilateral asymmetric hearing loss will affect binaural hearing and lead to sound locating errors. In this cross sectional analytical descriptive study, the localization error was inve...
متن کاملEvaluation of Age-Related Hearing Loss
Age-related hearing loss (presbycusis) is characterized by an increased hearing threshold and poor speech understanding in a noisy environment, slowed central processing of acoustic information, and impaired localization of sound sources. Presbycusis seriously affects the older people's quality of life. Particularly, hearing loss in the elderly contributes to social isolation, depression, and l...
متن کاملAge-related hearing loss: biological aspects
Presbycusis is one of the most prevalent neurodegenerative diseases of aging caused by changes in peripheral (cell loss in organ of Corti, spiral ganglion and stria vascularis) and central auditory systems (consequent to peripheral modifications or due to changes in the neurobiologic activity underlying central processing of auditory informations) [1]. Consequences are reduced sensitivity, tuni...
متن کاملMiddle ear impedance studies in elderly patients implications on age-related hearing loss.
INTRODUCTION Controversies arise with respect to functioning of the middle ear over time. OBJECTIVE To assess changes in middle ear impedance that may be related to aging, and/or if there was an association of these changes with those of the inner ear in the elderly patients. METHODS Cross-sectional, comparative study of elderly patients managed in ear, nose and throat clinics. A structured...
متن کاملNLRP3-inflammasomes are triggered by age-related hearing loss in the inner ear of mice.
Age-related hearing loss (ARHL) or presbyacusis is a progressive loss of hearing sensitivity that is predominately associated with sensory or transduction neuro-cell degeneration in the peripheral and central auditory systems. Increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and inflammatory response were frequently found in aging cochleae. In addition, inflammasomes are likely responsible...
