... families socialize their children. However, research has also found Asian children to be shy, quiet or silent in class and school. While quietness can be viewed as a positive attitude which reflects students’ attentive listening and sensitivity to others in East Asia, it may be perceived negatively...

... thresholds and audiological results in speech understanding in quiet of 84 Baha users with unilateral conductive hearing loss, bilateral conductive hearing loss and bilateral mixed hearing loss. Secondly, speech understanding in noise of 26 Baha users with different Baha sound processors (Compact, Divino...

... recognition in quiet and noise, subjective benefits, changes in residual hearing, and medical and surgical complications in adults with conductive or mixed hearing losses implanted with the VSB using Round Window (RW) Vibroplasty TM . Methods: Twelve German-speaking adults participated in a single-subject...

... a COMBI 40+ or a PULSAR, using the ‘round window’ technique to increase the probability of hearing preservation. Results: Monosyllabic word recognition increased over a 12-month period in the platinum group, from 31 to 60% under quiet conditions and from 1 to 19% under noisy conditions. In the PDCI...

... of bone conduction, including bilateral fitting of BCHIs in those with bilateral conductive hearing loss as well as the use of BCHIs in single-sided deafness (SSD). Bilateral fitting of BCHIs have been found to significantly increase the hearing thresholds in quiet and improve sound localization...

... outcomes are not as good as traditional implant candidates (mean sentence testing scores in quiet: stable untreated tumors 69%; radiotherapy treated tumors 49%; cochlear nerve preserving surgery ∼40%). For those that do not have a functional cochlear nerve, auditory brainstem implantation (ABI...

... (multiplanar volume reconstruction, external volume rendering, VR, and virtual bronchoscopy, VB) images of the airways. Patient breath-holding in suspended inspiration is important but with the new faster scanners volume coverage during quiet breathing can achieve high-quality images. The new imaging...

... and which deserve our full admiration. Reserved, quiet and kind, Paul Klee was nevertheless charismatic. And his art is poetic. Possessing a special aura, it can enchant those who surrender to it without any prejudice. Paul Klee has created an oeuvre that is unique, reflecting his character closely: a body...

... trial for the Hybrid concept in the United States. Generally, we will review surgical techniques, clinical trial criteria, residual hearing preservation, improvements in speech perception in quiet, and predictive factors for patient benefit. We will also discuss the significant benefit of A + E...

... with acoustic amplification for preserved low-frequency hearing. For the purpose of EAS, the electrode array is inserted up to 18-20 mm into the cochlea. Patients using EAS are able to achieve good speech recognition in quiet and in noise [ 1 , 2 ] despite reports of loss of residual hearing in 17% of patients...

... Abstract Implementing continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) in a intensive care unit(ICU) is a somewhat difficult issue and quiet different from starting a new ventilation modeor a new hemodynamic device. It may indeed require an on-call medical emergency CRRTteam as expertise...

... differences in ventilation - perfusion ratio in general. The mean slope of the alveolar plateau was 1.5 mm Hg/sec in 10 healthy male supine subjects during quiet breathing. At the end of a deep and prolonged expiration the oxygen pressure curve bends up again and cardiogenic oscillations disappear which may...

... improvement or significant benefit only in background noise, whereas other authors found improvements in quiet and noise, as well as in other auditory abilities, such as spatial hearing, HA acceptance, and sound quality. In the AMEI literature, authors have suggested that stable high-frequency amplification...

... processors such as the HC Superbass as an even more powerful successor [ 56 ]. The Baha Divino was launched in 2005. In contrast to its predecessor, the Baha Compact, this device features a digital sound processor and a directional microphone. Sound-field thresholds and speech tests in quiet did not reveal...
