Maximum aided word recognition score and rollover presence at higher-than-normal speech levels predict hearing-aid outcome effectively
Michal Feręczkowski1,2, Tobias Neher1,21Institute of Clinical Research, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Southern Denmark, Odense, Denmark2Research Unit for ORL – Head & Neck Surgery and Audiology, Odense University Hospital, Odense, Denmark; University of Southern Denmark, Odense, Denmark In current practice, hearing aids (HAs) are typically fitted based on audiometric thresholds only, even though research …
Gamification approach to out-of-clinic hearing diagnostics
Palle Rye1, Dorte Hammershøi11Department of Electronic Systems, Aalborg University, Aalborg, Denmark We are facing an expected increase in the number of people affected by hearing disorders and an ongoing ambition for improved efficiency, e.g. through expeditious or fewer clinical visits. Recent research suggest that classifying patients according to archetypal profile based on additional supra-threshold diagnostic …
A combinatorial solution of the probability of stopping in threshold audiometry
Eric C. Hoover1, Katherine N. Palandrani11Department of Hearing and Speech Sciences, University of Maryland, College Park, MD, USA In pure-tone audiometry, threshold is defined as the lowest stimulus level to meet the stopping criteria and not, as in most other psychophysical procedures, as the stimulus level corresponding to a specific probability of detection. A mathematical …
A digit-based behavioral and electrophysiological test battery for assessing different speech processing abilities
Pushkar Deshpande1,2, Christian Brandt1,2, Stefan Debener3, Tobias Neher1,21Institute of Clinical Research, University of Southern Denmark, Odense, Denmark2Research Unit for ORL – Head & Neck Surgery and Audiology, Odense University Hospital, Odense, Denmark; University of Southern Denmark, Odense, Denmark3Department of Psychology, University of Oldenburg, Oldenburg, Germany Effective communication requires good speech perception abilities. Speech perception can …
Using objective measures of binaural hearing in the clinic – stimulus, recording, and analysis parameters
