An evidence-based systematic review of amplitude compression in hearing aids for school-age children with hearing loss.
PURPOSE Two clinical questions were developed: one addressing the comparison of linear amplification with compression limiting to linear amplification with peak clipping, and the second comparing wide dynamic range compression with linear amplification for outcomes of audibility, speech recognition, speech and language, and self- or parent report in children with hearing loss. METHOD Twenty-s...
متن کاملRisk 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 کاملPrevalence of Hearing Loss among School-Age Children in the North of Iran
Introduction: The present study aimed to investigate the audiological profiles of elementary school-age children in Rasht, Iran, and estimate the prevalence of hearing impairments in this population. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional descriptive-analytical study, the hearing threshold was screened using pure tone audiomet...
متن کاملFitting hearing aids in children with severe hearing loss.
Because of limited initial data about the hearing loss of children and the difficulties in getting an optimal prescription, every fitting has to incorporate a procedure verifying or validating the final fitting. Fitting hearing aids should be focused on optimal speech recognition, even in children with very severe or profound hearing loss. When the MTS test is used, it is possible to optimize t...
متن کاملComparison of two frequency lowering algorithms for digital hearing aids
A considerable percentage of listeners with severe hearing loss have audiograms where the losses are high for high frequencies and low for low frequencies. For these patients, lowering the speech spectrum to the frequencies where there is some residual hearing could be a good solution to be implemented for digital hearing aids. In this paper we have presented two different frequency–lowering al...
