However, the effects of psychological factors on tinnitus treatment are not well-known. This study examines how personal affects influence tinnitus retraining therapy (TRT), a popular method of tinnitus treatment. For this purpose, TRT had been performed for 65 subjects (M 33, F 32) aged between 15 and 75 years with tinnitus but normal hearing sensitivity. All subjects had worn a bone vibrator with a white noise masker at least 3 hours a day for 10 weeks at the individual mixing point level. Korean questionnaire of Tinnitus handicap inventory (K-THI) was used for measuring the effects of TRT for all subjects, and then for two sub-groups, positive affect (PA) group (n=17) and negative affect (NA) group (n=11), which were selected based on the scores of the positive affect and negative affect schedule (PANAS). The results were as follows. First, the differences in THI scores between pre and post TRT were statistically significant for total scores and all three subscale scores. Second, although both groups demonstrated considerable reduction in THI scores after TRT, the PA group showed significantly lower THI scores than the NA group. Third, the improvement rates considering the individual THI scores before TRT were higher for the PA group than the NA group, especially at emotional and catastrophic subscales. The above results suggest that personal affects influence tinnitus treatment. Thus, professional counseling or psychotherapy is recommended for persons with tinnitus who have strong negative affect.","PeriodicalId":30299,"journal":{"name":"Audiology","volume":"9 1","pages":"66-73"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68458676","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Seventeen elder people with symmetric mild-to-moderate sensorineural hearing loss were tested with 14 syllables spoken by two different speakers at four different SNRs. Error rate and entropy calculation were used to analyze data. The results show that both error rate and entropy significantly increased as noise increased. In particular, /ba, va, ga, na/ were affected by noise level in both error rate and entropy, yet /za, Ʒa/ were only in entropy. We conclude that evaluating speech perception ability using zero-error CV syllables might scrutinize the unique characteristics of presbycusis. We also find that entropy analysis is very useful in even including response’s uncertainty which is not found in the typical error rate analysis.","PeriodicalId":30299,"journal":{"name":"Audiology","volume":"8 1","pages":"183-189"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68458561","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The performances were based on the pure tone thresholds and Korean word recognition scores for three elderly subjects (> 65 years of age) with high frequency hearing loss. The subjects were wearing hearing aids with Spectral iQ function for more than six months. In this case study, pure tone thresholds (PTA) and word recognition scores (WRS) were measured in three conditions: unaided, aided with Spectral iQ OFF, and aided with Spectral iQ ON. Results showed that both PTAs and WRSs were improved with Spectral iQ function in all three cases. In this preliminary step, frequency lowering function (Spectral iQ) appeared to be effective to some extent for those suffering from high frequency hearing loss.","PeriodicalId":30299,"journal":{"name":"Audiology","volume":"8 1","pages":"249-251"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68458623","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Two Korean monosyllabic word lists, the KS-list and the H-list were compressed with four ratios: 45, 55, 65, and 75%. Furthermore, the list equivalency of each list was examined with the compression ratio of 65%. The subjects of this study included 24 adults, and 36 school-aged children, having normal hearing sensitivity. The results of this study were summarized as follows: First, as the compression ratio increased from 45% to 75%, recognition performance decreased significantly from 88.00% to 29.67% for the KS-list and from 93.60% to 39.00% for the H-list. There were no significant recognition differences except for 75% in the compressed ratio when comparing recognition scores between the two lists. In children, recognition performance of compressed speech was significantly decreased from 71.47% to 30.93% in the lower grade group (mean: 8.2) and from 94.93% to 30.93% in the higher grade group (mean: 11.7) as compression ratio increased from 45% to 75%. Within five conditions, 0, 45, 55, 65, and 75%, there were no significant recognition differences between the two groups. Second, the four sub-lists of each word list for adults under the 65% compression ratio revealed no significant differences in the recognition scores, thus confirming the equivalency of each word list. This study showed that the recognition performance of children was lower than adults in all compression ratios. Therefore, the results suggest that different compression ratios might be used for adults and children when applying the measurement of central auditory processing. Appropriate compression ratios for adults are between 45% and 55%, and for children, it is below 45%.","PeriodicalId":30299,"journal":{"name":"Audiology","volume":"8 1","pages":"34-40"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68458907","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is also easy and objective to test and doesn't cause dizziness. The purpose of this study was to determine the normative VEMP data in healthy newborns. Forty six ears from 23 healthy newborns (14 boys, 9 girls) were used in this study. The results were as follows; First, the latency of p13 and n23 in healthy newborns were 16.65 ± 2.57 ms and 26.34 ± 3.14 ms, respectively. The interpeak latency of p13-n23 was 9.69 ± 2.41 ms with the amplitude of .47 ±.70 μV. Second, the latency of the VEMP was significantly longer in the newborns under 30 days than in the newborns over 30 days [P13 latency: t-test, t(44) = 0.80, p < .05; N23 latency: t-test, t(44) = 1.77, p < .05]. Third, the latency of the VEMP was significantly longer in all newborns than in adults [P13 latency: t-test, t(90) = 8.29, p < .05; N23 latency: t-test, t(90) = 3.62, p < .05]. In conclusion, normative VEMP data of healthy newborns were partially demonstrated. It is suggested that vestibular function test as well as hearing test be conducted to diagnose vestibular dysfunction at an early age, especially for newborns with high risk factors. Following research is required for clinical application.","PeriodicalId":30299,"journal":{"name":"Audiology","volume":"7 1","pages":"190-194"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68458879","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
