We assess three validated speech tests (Matrix, LIST, and DIN) to identify the optimal speech material for measuring peak-pupil-dilation (PPD) in CI users as a function of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR).Design: Speech tests were administered in quiet and two noisy conditions, namely at the speech recognition threshold (0 dB re SRT), i.e. the SNR where speech intelligibility (SI) was 50%, and at a more favourable SNR of +6 dB re SRT. PPDs and subjective ratings of effort were obtained.Study sample: Eighteen unilaterally implanted CI users.Results: LIST sentences revealed significantly different PPDs between +6 and 0 dB re SRT and DIN triplets between quiet and +6 dB re SRT. PPDs obtained with the Matrix test were independent of SNR and yielded large PPDs and high subjective ratings even in quiet.Conclusions: PPD is a sensitive measure for listening effort when processing LIST sentences near 0 dB re SRT and when processing DIN triplets at more favourable listening conditions around +6 dB re SRT. PPDs obtained with the Matrix test were insensitive to SNR, likely because it is demanding for CI users even in quiet.","PeriodicalId":13759,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Audiology","volume":" ","pages":"1-9"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143004856","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}

First, the relationships between MD duration and pure-tone audiometry thresholds for each frequency, the canal paresis (CP) ratio, and the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) gain were analysed. Second, clinical characteristics, CP values, and VOR gains were compared between patient groups with low and high hearing thresholds to determine whether they exhibited different clinical presentations.Study sample: The study included 69 patients diagnosed with unilateral MD within a duration of 10 years. A hearing dataset from 306 MD Spanish patients was used to cluster patients according to the hearing profile overtime.Results: The thresholds at 250-2000 Hz frequencies increased with the duration of the disease. Conversely, vestibular function tests were not related to the duration of MD. Additionally, no statistically significant differences were observed in clinical characteristics, CP values, or VOR gain between patient groups with low and high hearing thresholds.Conclusions: Hearing loss involves all frequencies in most patients and hearing outcome, rather than vestibular loss, may define patient subgroups in MD. Moreover, not all patients with MD experience hearing loss progression as the duration of the disease increases.","PeriodicalId":13759,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Audiology","volume":" ","pages":"1-7"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142970693","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}

Speech intelligibility outcomes with the demonstrator and broadband level adaptations as potential fitting references were compared to outcomes with the own hearing aids of hearing-impaired participants.

The number of false-positive results was studied for three referral methods, using additional audiometric data of 71 children.Results: Our data showed that reliable results with high stability and a small measurement error can be obtained in only around two minutes per ear. Differences between languages are minimal and grade-specific referral values were necessary.

The subject presented with sudden sensorineural hearing loss and diplacusis a day after onset. Testing involved detailed interview, standard audiometry, detailed inter-octave audiometry, and measurement of detailed psychophysical frequency tuning curves during a two day recovery period.Study sample: One male aged in his thirties with otherwise normal hearing.Results: Although standard audiometry was within normal limits, detailed inter-octave audiometry and psychophysical frequency tuning curves were consistent with a punctate unilateral intra-cochlear lesion that resolved over a period of three days.Conclusions: This is the first report of such a frequency-specific audiometric shift and diplacusis after sildenafil, and is not consistent with previous reports of direct ototoxic pharmacological effects. We propose that the lesion was most likely caused by a cochlear bleed, and may have been due to physical exertion rather than a direct pharmaceutical effect.
