Individuals with severe to profound hearing loss are likely to present with complex listening
needs that require evidence-based solutions. This document is intended to inform the …

To determine the state of the research on ototoxic properties of Pb, evaluate possible
synergistic effects with concurrent noise exposure, and identify opportunities to improve …

Introduction Estimating differences in neural health across different sites within the individual
cochlea potentially enables clinical applications for subjects with a cochlear implant. The …

Background Due to variation in electrode design, insertion depth and cochlear morphology,
patients with a cochlear implant (CI) often have to adapt to a substantial mismatch between …

We propose a machine learning (ML)-based model for predicting cochlear dead regions
(DRs) in patients with hearing loss of various etiologies. Five hundred and fifty-five ears from …

The objective was to determine the effects of a frequency-lowering algorithm (frequency
composition, Fcomp) on consonant identification, word-final/s, z/detection, the intelligibility of …

Many patients with sensorineural hearing loss have a precipitous high-frequency loss with
relatively good thresholds in the low frequencies. This present paper briefly introduces and …

Objective: The objective was to assess the degradation of speech sound quality produced
by frequency compression for listeners with extensive high-frequency dead regions (DRs) …

The occurrence of subjective tinnitus has been linked to cochlear damage, as most tinnitus
patients have impaired hearing, and animal studies have shown that the induction of …

The objective was to determine the effects of two frequency-lowering algorithms (frequency
transposition, FT, and frequency compression, FC) on audibility, speech identification, and …
