The 40-Hz ASSR was measured using MEG and evaluated for amplitude and latency in the maximum signal channel at the click signal measured in each hemisphere.Study sample: Ten native Japanese speakers without histories of auditory diseases (8 males and 2 females, mean age 28.4 ± 5.70 years) participated in the study.Results: The 40-Hz ASSR amplitude increased with the group delay of the chirp signal, was most efficient with the CE-chirp (longest group delay) and was significantly larger in the contralateral hemisphere for the CE-chirp than with the click signal. No significant differences were observed in ipsilateral hemispheres. The latency of the 40-Hz ASSR decreased as the group delay of the chirp signal increased.Conclusions: This study demonstrated that chirp signals, particularly the CE chirp, are more efficient than click signals in eliciting a 40-Hz ASSR, especially in the contralateral hemisphere.","PeriodicalId":13759,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Audiology","volume":" ","pages":"1-8"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142806868","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ears were classified according to pure-tone average (PTA) and real-ear aided response (REAR) in relation to the targets of NAL-NL2 and DSL v5.0.Results: For DSL v5.0, compared with NAL-NL2, higher amplification was calculated almost consistently for input levels of 65 and 80 dB SPL. Speech-recognition scores were best when the REAR reached ±5 dB or exceeded 5 dB the DSL v5.0 target and were lowest when the REAR fell more than 5 dB below the NAL-NL2 target.Conclusions: The greatest impact of the REAR on speech recognition was observed at hearing losses between 50 and 80 dB HL. It was found that to optimise speech recognition and audibility for patients in this range HA fittings should target DSL v5.0 prescription values. For hearing losses below 50 dB HL, both NAL-NL2 and DSL v5.0 may be considered for HA fitting. However, for hearing losses above 80 dB HL, aided speech recognition is insufficient in most cases.","PeriodicalId":13759,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Audiology","volume":" ","pages":"1-12"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142806895","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In patients missing an incus, coupling to the stapes head using the Vibroplasty CliP-coupler is used. Its main limitation is the height, leading to potential contact with the tympanic membrane. The new stapes head (SH)-coupler reduces the functional height but tilts the stimulation angle by 30°. We investigated the SH-coupler's magnitude and sound transmission quality compared to the LP-coupler.Methods: Laser Doppler vibrometry was used on 10 cadaveric human temporal bones. Measurements of the stapes and round window motion were taken for electrical (FMT-) stimulation during application of both couplers.Results: At the round window, the SH-coupler showed a significantly higher gain magnitude than the LP-coupler (+ 13.4 dB over 1023-3577Hz). At low frequencies (382-500Hz), the SH-coupler gain was significantly lower (-9.9 dB). Total harmonic distortions >10% at 100 dB HLeq were recorded in 3.4% of the SH- and 7.4% of the LP-couplers above 500 Hz.Conclusion: The SH-coupler's performance exceeds the LP-coupler in middle and high frequencies and is comparable to and a good alternative to the CliP-coupler, dependent on the individual anatomy.","PeriodicalId":13759,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Audiology","volume":" ","pages":"1-7"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142800123","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The range of deviations was not reduced after fine tuning, except at 2 and 4 kHz where the distributions were narrower for REM.Conclusions: These findings confirm that improvements in fitting software mean there is less evidence that REMs and fine-tuning improve the match to target for many new fittings in adults with mild-to-moderate hearing loss.

It is unclear, nevertheless, how well these measures compare to more supervised and regulated manual audiometric assessments. The aim of this study is to validate such smartphone-based methods against standardised laboratory assessments.Design: Pure-tone audiometry and categorical loudness scaling (CLS) were used. Three conditions with varying degrees of supervision were created and compared. In order to assess binaural and spectral loudness summation, both narrowband monaural and broadband binaural noise have been examined as CLS test stimuli.Study sample: N = 21 individuals with normal hearing and N = 16 participants with mild-to-moderate hearing loss.Results: The tests conducted here did not show any distinctions between smartphone-based and laboratory-based methods.Conclusions: Non-supervised listening tests via smartphone may serve as a valid, reliable, and cost-effective approach, e.g. for pure-tone audiometry, CLS, and the evaluation of binaural and spectral loudness summation. In addition, the supra-threshold tests can be constructed to be invariant against missing calibration and external noise which makes them more robust for smartphone usage than audiogram measures.","PeriodicalId":13759,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Audiology","volume":" ","pages":"1-11"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142768475","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Next, they were randomly divided to receive hearing aids fitted based on either the user-operated (UAud group) or the traditional audiometry (control group) hearing thresholds.
