Auditory steady-state responses Maturation of bone-conduction hearing Infant bone-conduction thresholds
The objective of this study was to compare boneconduction (BC) auditory steady-state responses (ASSR) for infants and adults with normal hearing to investigate the time course of maturation of BC hearing sensitivity. Bone-conduction multiple ASSRs were recorded in 0 11-month-old (n 35), and 12 24-monthold infants (n 13), and adults (n 18). Low-frequency BC ASSR thresholds increased with age, wh...
متن کاملComparison of air-conduction and bone-conduction hearing thresholds for pure tones and octave-band filtered sound effects.
The purpose of this study was to measure air-conduction (AC) and bone-conduction (BC) hearing thresholds with pure-tone and filtered sound effect stimuli using standard audiometric equipment. A group of 20 young, normal-hearing listeners participated in the study. Pure-tone stimuli were 250, 500, 1000, 2000, and 4000 Hz. Sound effect stimuli were 12 natural sounds that were spectrally limited t...
متن کاملThresholds of Audibility for Bone-conduction Headsets
Despite advantages of using headphones, including privacy and portability, headphones have one essential drawback: they cover the ears of the listener, thus deteriorating detection and localization of ambient sounds. Bone-conduction headsets leave the ears uncovered, yet maintain portability and privacy. An initial step in establishing guidelines for using these “bonephones” is taken in the pre...
متن کاملObjective Estimation of Frequency-Specific Pure-Tone Hearing Thresholds following Bone-Conduction Hearing Aid Stimulation
Patients suffering from conductive or mixed hearing loss may benefit from bone-conduction hearing systems (BAHS). The amount of amplification provided by the hearing system is selected based on the individual's sensorineural frequency-specific threshold. With patients who are not able to provide thresholds behaviorally, such as young children, objective methods are required to estimate the unai...
متن کاملIntraindividual comparison of the bone-anchored hearing aid and air-conduction hearing aids.
BACKGROUND Some patients have to stop using their air-conduction hearing aid(s) because it causes or exacerbates chronic otitis. Then, a solution is the use of a bone-conduction hearing aid such as the percutaneous bone-anchored hearing aid (BAHA). OBJECTIVE To compare patients' performance with their previous air-conduction hearing aid(s) and their BAHA using audiometric tests and a question...
