Learning styles may be classified according to the sensory modality that one most prefers to use when internalizing information. The four major sensory modalities are visual, aural or auditory, read/write, and kinesthetic. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between preferred learning style, gender, and course scores in an undergraduate physiology class. Students from ...

Hearing impairment has far-reaching consequences for affected individuals, in terms of quality of life indicators. In the public health care sector of South Africa the hearing-impaired population is faced with limited aural rehabilitation services. This study evaluated self-reported outcomes of aural rehabilitation in a group of adults in the public health care sector with a standardised outcom...

To investigate the neural mechanisms that humans use to process the ambiguous force measured by the otolith organs, we measured vestibuloocular reflexes (VORs) and perceptions of tilt and translation. One primary goal was to determine if the same, or different, mechanisms contribute to vestibular perception and action. We used motion paradigms that provided identical sinusoidal inter-aural otol...

Sensorineural hearing loss is associated with increased temporal masking of low energy sub-segments of speech by adjacent high energy segments, resulting in increased consonant confusion. Splitting the speech into segments and presenting the alternate segments to the two ears, may help in reducing the effect of increased temporal masking in cases of moderate bilateral loss. A method of inter-au...

Introduction: Parents are such important members of the cochlear-implant team that analysis of their views is essential in orderto improve services and outcomes. The authors developed a tool to assess parental attitudes towards various aspects of cochlear implantation in children who had passed aural rehabilitation sessions. The authors then went on to determine the validity and reliability of ...

background and aim: parents’ evaluation of aural/oral performance of children (peach) questionnaire is used for children within any age group and any amount of hearing loss. the pur­pose of this study was translation, cultural adap­tation, determination of reliability and validity of the questionnaire, and assessment of its scores in children with cochlear implant versus normal group. methods: ...
