In particular, to our best knowledge no study has investigated the use of visual or haptic feedback as a means to address the issue of notifying in real-time a user without hearing impairments about dangerous sound levels during loud music events. Multisensory technologies based on the senses ...
only 2 examined postural control specifically in the elderly with hearing loss. These researchers examined the impact of HA use on postural control during various sensory perturbations in the elderly with age-related hearing loss. A total of 30 individuals with age-related hearing impairments and usi...
Tinnitus is one of the main hearing impairments often associated with pure-tone hearing loss, and typically manifested in the perception of phantom sounds. Nevertheless, tinnitus has traditionally been studied in isolation without necessarily considering auditory ghosting and hearing loss as part of the ...
28 Given vestibular end organ dysfunction has been reported in 17% to 48% of pediatric SSD patients, vestibular evaluations should also be considered, especially in patients with potential comorbid visual impairments.29,30 Postmeningitis profound hearing loss and labyrinthitis ossificans can occasionally...
Use multiple means.Think about assisting those with hearing impairments by supplementing information through visual or tactile means. However, be careful not to overload people with information and remember that a significant number of people with hearing problems also have difficulties with vision (1.8...
Although a variety of perceptual-motor tests, such as the Tactual Performance Test (TPT), Grip Strength (GS) and Finger Oscillation (FO) subtests from the Halstead-Reitan Battery (HRB) can and have been used to assess individuals with visual-impairments or blindness, very little success has ...
"For instance, previous work has shown that Braille words can activate the visual brain areas of blind individuals. This suggests that input from the touch system activates their visual system. Similar connections exist in individuals without sensory impairments, such as those between the hearing and...
There is no cure for OI, and therapies to ameliorate hearing loss rely on conventional treatments for auditory impairments in the general population. The success rate of these treatments in the OI population with poor collagenous tissues is still unclear. In a systematic review and meta-analysis,...
Two mitochondrial mutational sites (A1555G, A7445G) have been reported to be responsible for non-syndromic hearing impairments. The A1555G mutation causes increased susceptibility to aminoglycoside antibiotic-induced hearing loss as well as non-syndromic sensorineural hearing loss. Our wide screening ...
The increased likelihood of ARC admission for those with hearing impairments was completely explained by other factors. While a null finding, it has been argued that replication studies are valuable and, indeed, keeps science on track40. Especially when the current evidence-base is of mixed ...
