People with the hearing problems have different listening preferences and characteristics in loss. So, aids need algorithms that provide amplification based on frequency, so hearing-impaired persons can use comfortably for a long duration. In this paper, new algorithm is proposed order to compensate sensorineural conductive loss using discrete cosine transform (DCT). DCT coefficients of input a...

INTRODUCTION This retrospective review evaluates the prognostic indicators in the management of sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) in otorhinolaryngology patients admitted to Brunei RIPAS Hospital. METHODS The review covered data collected from 1996 to 1998, and included patients who were treated with naftidrofuryl and dexamethasone. Their hearing improvement (more than 20 dB) in relat...

Age-related hearing impairment (ARHI) affects 25-40% of individuals over the age of 65. Despite the high prevalence of this complex trait, ARHI is still poorly understood. We hypothesized that variance in hearing ability with age is largely determined by genetic factors. We collected audiologic data on females of Northern European ancestry and compared different audiogram representations. A web...
