UCL and MCL of a hearing aided ear in bilateral conduction deafness and combined deafness.

Understanding hearing through deafness.

T wenty-five years ago, many people thought that auditory prostheses were too crude to ever benefit auditory neuroscience. One skeptic thought that trying to understand auditory processing by using the artificial pattern of neural activation through a cochlear implant was like trying to understand how a television tuner works by applying a lightning bolt to the antenna. Recent papers in PNAS (1...

Bilateral deafness of vascular origin.

Two patients with reversible bilateral deafness of vascular etiology are reported. Serial audiometric studies in the first patient before and after a brainstem stroke indicated retrocochlear auditory dysfunction. The second patient showed bitemporal infarction on cranial CT scan which was subsequently confirmed postmortem.

Single-sided deafness and directional hearing: contribution of spectral cues and high-frequency hearing loss in the hearing ear

Direction-specific interactions of sound waves with the head, torso, and pinna provide unique spectral-shape cues that are used for the localization of sounds in the vertical plane, whereas horizontal sound localization is based primarily on the processing of binaural acoustic differences in arrival time (interaural time differences, or ITDs) and sound level (interaural level differences, or IL...

Evaluation of Gait Variability in Deafness and Comparing it with Normal-hearing Listeners After a Course of Interventional Proprioceptive Training

Objective: Gait variability index is an important index in the clinical treatment of people with walking problems. Since the variability of gait behavior in deaf people has not been evaluated so far, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the walking variability of deaf people and compare it with normal-hearing listeners. Methods: The statistical population of this study was deaf and hearin...
