Binaural spectral selectivity in normal-hearing and hearing-impaired listeners
Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es, die Interaktion zwischen der Frequenzselektivität des menschlichen Gehörs und binauralem Hören durch psychoakustische Verdeckungsexperimente zu untersuchen. Im allgemeinen wird ein diotischer Verdecker benutzt, wohingegen das Signal entweder ebenfalls diotisch ist …

Frequency-Discrimination Performance of Normal-Hearing and Hearing-Impaired Listeners
… data were obtained for 12 normal-hearing and six hearing-impaired subjects with a 3-interval, 2-cued, yes/no task for a variety of signals. These signals included pure tones, fixed-bandwidth (400 Hz) narrow-band noise and ratio-bandwidth (20%) narrow-band noise. Analyses included …

Modeling the career maturity of hearing and hearing-impaired adolescents
… the career development process was the same for hearing-impaired and normally-hearing adolescents. Subjects included 71 deaf and 318 nonhandicapped adolescents and their parents. A literature-based causal model of career maturity (Model 1) was developed that was designed to explain career …

Pitch perception and harmonic resolvability in normal-hearing and hearing-impaired listeners
Listeners with sensorineural hearing loss are often impaired in their ability to perceive the pitch associated with the fundamental frequency (FO) of complex harmonic sounds. Four studies investigated the relationship between FO discrimination performance and the ability to resolve individual …

Remote hearing aid fitting
Hearing aid fitting is a costly process due to the cost of hearing aids, audiologists' hourly rates, and large travelling distances caused by regionally sparse audiologist populations. This dissertation is focused on the development of a system which aims at reducing the severity of this problem.

Comparison of Speech Audiometry Stimulus Lists on Hearing Impaired and Normal Hearing Subjects
… individuals with a high frequency sesorinueral hearing loss. There is also some question whether the use of 40 dB SL (re: SRT) for speech intelligibility testing may well undershoot the PB-Max of an individual with a high frequency sloping sensorinueral hearing loss (Martin and Jansen, 1985). …

Evaluation of Hearing Aid Effectiveness Using Hearing Tests and Analysis of Prognostic Factors
현재 난청 환자의 수는 점점 늘어나고 있으며 2008년 국내 보고에 따르면 전체 인구 중 10%에서 난청을 호소하고 이 중 1%인 50만에서 보청기를 사용하고 있는 추세이다. 보청기 처방 후 보청기 효과에 대한 평가는 학자마다 다르고 그 기준에 따라 다양한 결과가 나타날 수 있다. 그 중 환자의 만족도를 확인하는 설문지를 이용한 주관적인 방법이 많이 사용되고 있으나 객관적 평가방법은 부족한 실정이다. 그래서 우리가 쉽게 접할 수 있는 객관적 자료인 보청기교정 기능이득， 보청기교정 어음분별력 검사를 이용하여 보청기 착용한 환자에게 …

The Cellular Basis for Hearing
Hair cells constitute the cellular basis for hearing. Their primary role is to convert mechanical signal into electrical signal through the ion channels, called ``mechano-electrical transducer (MET) channels'', in the hair bundles of hair cells. Another important function of hair cells is to …
