The perceptual information transmitted from a damaged cochlea to the brain is more poorly specified than information from an intact cochlea and requires more processing in working memory before language content can be decoded. In addition to making sounds audible, current hearing aids include several technologies that are intended to facilitate language understanding for persons with hearing im...
متن کاملEffect and Sound Localization with Dichotic-Listening Digital Hearing Aids
Sensorineural hearing loss is commonly accompanied by reduced frequency selectivity, which causes the larger adverse effect of masking. To cope with this issue, some studies have addressed the effects of dichotic listening to reduce the masking between contiguous frequency bands. This paper investigates sound image localization perceived in both dichotic and diotic listening conditions, as well...

Hearing loss is associated with poor cognitive performance and incident dementia and may contribute to cognitive decline. Treating hearing loss with hearing aids may ameliorate cognitive decline. The purpose of this study was to test whether use of hearing aids was associated with better cognitive performance, and if this relationship was mediated via social isolation and/or depression. Structu...
متن کاملWhen hearing aids go bad: an FM success story.
Both clinical and research findings support the effectiveness of frequency-modulated (FM) technology among individuals who continue to encounter significant communication problems despite the use of conventional hearing instruments. The use rate of FM devices throughout the nation, however, remains disappointingly low. The authors present a case of a longtime hearing aid user whose hearing aids...
