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 کاملUnilateral and bilateral hearing aids, spatial release from masking and auditory acclimatization.
Spatial release from masking (SRM) was tested within the first week of fitting and after 12 weeks hearing aid use for unilateral and bilateral adult hearing aid users. A control group of experienced hearing aid users completed testing over a similar time frame. The main research aims were (1) to examine auditory acclimatization effects on SRM performance for unilateral and bilateral hearing aid...
متن کاملSimulated conductive hearing loss in children.
Otitis media with effusion (OME) often results in hearing loss for children with the condition. In order to provide appropriate and effective audiologic management, it is important to understand the impact of OME on speech recognition ability when hearing loss is present. This study examined the speech recognition abilities of normal-hearing six- and seven-year-old children (n = 12) and adults ...
متن کاملSpeech intelligibility and spatial release from masking in young children.
Children between the ages of 4 and 7 and adults were tested in free field on speech intelligibility using a four-alternative forced choice paradigm with spondees. Target speech was presented from front (0 degrees); speech or modulated speech-shaped-noise competitors were either in front or on the right (90 degrees). Speech reception thresholds were measured adaptively using a three-down/one-up ...
متن کاملEarmold Considerations for Optimal Spatial Hearing in Children with Unilateral Hearing Loss
One of the primary functions of the auditory system is to facilitate spatial hearing. Normal binaural hearing allows listeners to exploit acoustic cues provided by interaural disparities in time and level to identify the location of important sound sources in three-dimensional acoustic space and to enhance speech perception in the presence of competing speech or noise. Psychophysical studies ha...
