...-sectional observational study applied auditory speech perception tests to fifteen adults, using three different ways of presenting the stimulus, in the absence of competitive noise: monitored live voice (MLV); recorded speech at typical speed (RSTS); recorded speech at slow speed (RSSS). The scores were...

... potentially provide evidence to encourage more bimodal candidates to continue hearing aid (HA) use after CI. Methods: In this prospective study, patients completed preoperative and 1-, 3-, and 6-month post-activation QOL surveys on listening effort, speech perception, sound quality/localization, and hearing...

.... 2024 Audiology Speech perception Cohort study The standard test of the hearing status of individuals is the audiogram, which measures detection thresholds in quiet for pure tones at different frequencies. However, it has long been argued that speech-in-noise intelligibility should also...

..., studies investigating the effect of hemodialysis on speech perception and auditory processing abilities are limited. The present study investigated the effect of hemodialysis on few auditory processing abilities and speech perception in noise among adults with CKD. Methods: A total of 25 adults with CKD...

...Shaza Mahmoud Saleh; Shakeel Riaz Saeed; Deborah Vickers Background: Speech perception in noise is especially challenging for cochlear implant (CI) recipients; thus, speech in noise tests are used to clinically evaluate functional hearing with CIs. The coordinate response measure (CRM) corpus can...

... thresholds (in dB HL) in the sound field. The speech perception abilities were assessed by the speech discrimination score (SDS, in %) of monosyllables, disyllables, and sentences in quiet and noise using the Chinese Mandarin speech test materials. Hearing outcomes were evaluated with the ADHEAR™ worn...

... the effects of sequential bilateral CI use in children who received their first CI at young ages, using a clinical set-up. Methods: One-channel cortical auditory evoked potentials and speech perception in quiet and noise were evoked at repeated times (0, 3, 6, 12 months of bilateral CI use) by unilateral...

... hearing outcomes for which some modifiable factors of the daily natural auditory environment may be contributory. In this study, we analyze the relationship between cochlear implant patient age, natural auditory environment, and postimplantation speech perception among older adults. Methods: Data log from...

... to the delay in speech and motor skill development. Objectives: To investigate the relationship between motor development performance, speech perception, and language performance in children with auditory brainstem implant (ABI). Method: Ten children, aged 4–17 years (mean age 9.76 ± 4.03), fitted...

... unilateral CI were enrolled. Evaluation of speech perception was performed under both audiovisual (AV) and audio-only (AO) conditions before and after CI. Before CI, the speech perception test was performed under hearing aid (HA)-assisted conditions. After CI, the speech perception test was performed under...

... cochlear implantation with a conventional-length electrode. Low-frequency audiometric thresholds were measured at initial activation as well as 3 and 12 months postoperatively to determine who met the criteria for EAS. Speech perception for CNC words and AzBio sentences in quiet and +10 dB SNR noise...

... with sequential cochlear implantation. Method: Thirty-four patients were included for speech perception outcome and 38 patients were included for subjective hearing satisfaction in daily life in this study. The patients were classified into 3 groups according to inter-implant interval: group I, <4 years; group...

... the results in older CI recipients and some variables of the patients was also investigated. Methods: The sample consisted of 107 patients over 40 years of age at surgery divided into 3 subgroups according to age at implantation. Results in terms of speech perception in silence and with background noise were...

... Longitudinal research Presbyacusis Progression Speech perception Age-related hearing loss affects over a billion people worldwide [GBD, 2016], and its prevalence keeps rising due to aging of the population [Olusanya et al., 2014]. As the fourth leading cause of years lived with disability...

... shown in the adult population, but studies on the pediatric population are currently lacking. This study aims at evaluating the effects of a bone-anchored hearing implant (BAHI) on speech perception, speech processing, and memory abilities in children with single side deafness (SSD). We enrolled n = 25...

... words or sentences. In this study, we argue that this does not necessarily mean that these CI users do not gain any auditory benefit from their CI, but rather that the tests used to evaluate performance might not be sensitive enough to detect more modest contributions of the implant to speech perception...

... factors for postoperative speech perception. The notes of 13 recipients were retrospectively reviewed. The mean age at onset of profound deafness was 1.5 years (range 0-6). The mean age at implantation was 37 years (range 22-51 years). Patient expectations were assessed pre-operatively and 1 year after...

...Ulrich Hoppe; Thomas Hocke; Alexander Müller; Anne Hast Hearing impairment in the elderly is usually treated with conventional hearing aids; however, a large number of older people do not achieve sufficient speech recognition with hearing aids. The aim of the study was to describe speech perception...

... simultaneous cochlear implantation and to evaluate the change in speech scores between 1 and 5 years. Design: In this prospective multicenter study, 26 patients were evaluated 5 years after implantation using long straight electrode arrays (MED-EL Combi 40+, standard electrode array, 31 mm). Speech perception...

... of young deaf children without additional disabilities. Method: A retrospective study was conducted on children with WS who underwent cochlear implantation at the age of 2 years or younger. The post-operative results for speech perception (phonetically balanced standard Dutch consonant-vocal-consonant word...
