Tickle is a postgraduate researcher, and Dr. Furness is a reader at the Institute for Science and Technology in Medicine, Keele University, Staffordshire, United Kingdom. Stem cells, or other replacement cells, provide new options treating illnesses or disorders resulting from cell loss in the body. Stem cells have the capacity to turn into other types of cell and can be obtained from various sources, including the patient.
The cochlea's ability to transduce acoustic energy, delivering signals perceived as sound, declines with age. Leonardi Hearing Center. UCL Phonetics & Linguistics. HearLoss is an interactive Windows PC program for demonstrating to normally hearing people the effects of hearing loss.
With HearLoss you can replay speech, music and noise under a variety of loudness, filtering and masking conditions typical of hearing impairments. Best of all you can interactively change the settings and demonstrate their consequences. Description The HearLoss program plays back pre-recorded audio samples of some speech, some music and some typical background noise, either singly or in combination. As it replays, three sliders control a simulation of the effects of three common consequences of hearing loss: loss in amplitude sensitivity, reduction in frequency range, and loss in spectral detail.

Understanding Hearing Loops Jay Sheehan, Ph.D., MHS, FAAA, Professional Trainer, Beltone AudiologyOnline. An Audio Frequency Induction Loop System, or AFILS, is a relatively new acronym for an old approach to assistive listening that is more commonly known as a "hearing loop".
Using the full term may seem redundant to professionals in the hearing health industry because we know that the product of the inductive transmission is an audio signal, typically one that conveys speech information. Using the term AFILS or hearing loop is a matter of personal preference. National Association of the Deaf. Got an Instagram app on your smartphone?

Introduction The pinna carries out the important function of shaping the acoustic properties of sound entering the ear.
The frequency shaping provided by the pinna enhances the frequencies important for speech understanding and provides cues that allow the brain to decode and analyze signal location in the environment.
Cutting the Wire: What’s New in CROS/BiCROS Technology? Martin Kinkel, Ph.D., Director of Audiology, audifon and KIND Hörgeräte AudiologyOnline. Today's topic is the latest developments in wireless CROS (contralateral routing of signal) and BiCROS (binaural contralateral routing of signal) solutions.
Our program today will begin with information about binaural hearing and the central role of binaural hearing for understanding speech, especially in noisy and spatial listening environments. Then I will speak about the effects of single-sided deafness (SSD) in situations that cause the most difficulties. I will explain the CROS/BiCROS concepts, and how we can utilize these systems to solve, at least in part, those problems related to SSD. I'll discuss which audiogram configurations make patients candidates for CROS/BiCROS solutions.
From there I will switch gears over to the patient's perspective, discuss challenging listening situations that might be solved with a CROS/BiCROS hearing system, and alternatives to the classical hearing-aid based CROS solution.
How to live life to the max with hearing loss. 20Q: Hearing Loss, Hearing Aids, and Listening Effort Ben Hornsby, Ph.D. AudiologyOnline. From the desk of Gus Mueller I met up with an old friend of mine the other day, and learned that he had just purchased hearing aids.
I recall him telling me some time ago that he was having problems at work, a management job which consisted of attending a lot of meetings. He has a mild high-frequency loss in the 3000-4000 Hz range; someone most of us would consider a "borderline" candidate. Deaf & Hearing Impaired Resources.
