Objectives: Language development is often very slower in hearing impaired children compared with their normal peers. Hearing impairment during childhood affects all aspects of speech production and language acquisition. It seems that hearing impaired people suffer from language and speech impairments such as production of complex linguistic structures. The purpose of this study is to determine ...

purpose: to determine hearing thresholds at sound frequencies important for speech comprehension in subjects with ocular pseudoexfoliation (pxf) and to compare them with that of controls without pxf. methods: eighty-three subjects with ocular pxf and 83 age and sex matched controls without pxf were enrolled in this case-control study. pure tone audiometry (bone conduction) was performed at 1, 2...

introduction: cochlear implantation can facilitate the development of communication skills in children with profound hearing loss. the objectives of our study were to determine the average ages at suspicion and diagnosis of hearing loss, amplification, intervention, and performing the cochlear implantation and to investigate the effects of the parents’ level of education and economic circumstan...

Introduction: Hearing loss occurs when there is a problem with one or more parts of the ear or ears and causes children to have a delay in the language-learning process. Hearing loss affects children's lives and their development. Several approaches have been developed over recent decades to help hearing-impaired children develop language skills. Auditory-verbal therapy (AVT) is one such approa...

Introduction: Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) is a probable complication of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) Surgery, that may be due to embolism, perfusion failure and consumption of ototoxic drugs. Since the incidence of SNHL after CABG is different according to the various reports, the present study was designed to study hearing threshold change after CABG surgery. Method: In this cross...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE We investigated usage of and satisfaction with hearing aid devices in everyday life among older adults with hearing loss. Our research further advances the role of hearing contexts for hearing aid use and satisfaction. A central assumption was that hearing aid owners adapt the usage of the hearing aid devices to contextual demands of hearing depending on their personal ...

background: ototoxic chemicals can impair the sense of hearing and balance. in the past decades, the ototoxicity of solvents and their interaction with noise have become evident. this study has been carried out in the shoe manufacturing factory in tehran (iran) with the aim of evaluating the combined effects of noise and toluene on the workers' hearing. materials and methods: this cross-se...
