A common choice to select λ so that a measure of noise performance is equal: a common choice is the noise figure (NF). However, this is only applicable when comparing algorithms with identical data. It is thus not suitable to compare across electrode positions or stimulation strategies (as illustrated in the example below). Noise Figure Distinguishability as a noise performance metric for EIT a...

Introduction: After presbycusis, noise-induced hearing loss is the second most common cause of acquired hearing loss. Numerous studies have shown that high-intensity noise exposure increases free radical species; therefore, use of antioxidants to detoxify the free radicals can prevent cellular damage in the cochlea. We studied the potential hearing protective effect of different doses of ascorb...

Background: Noise and noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) are the most prevalent workplace problems. The best way to prevent NIHL is to monitor people's annual noise exposure (ANE) using tools, such as questionnaires. The present study aims to assess reliability of the Persian version of the Noise Exposure Questionnaire (NEQ) and NIHL scores among workers. Materials & Methods: This descriptive s...

This research on military aviation noise was conducted because the personnel working with military aircraft were concerned about noise induced hearing damage. In addition, comprehensive data on hearing impairments and occupational exposure of military pilots in the Finnish Air Force was not available. Moreover, data on the effects of overflight noise of military jets was necessary for the evalu...

conclusions the effect of coadministration of nac and coq10 was neither additive nor synergic in protecting against nihl. results the temporary hearing changes that occurred 1-day post exposure were not significantly different in all groups (p > 0.05). the total recovery (between 1 - 21 days after noise exposure) varied by a frequency increase between 1.08 - 19.10 in the noise group compared to...
