Methods: The subjects of this study were 17 SNHL (26 ears) who had no experience in wearing hearing aids, with an average age of 67.5 years, an average pure-tone average of 50.5 dB HL, an average WRS of 68.9%, and a K-IOI-HA (Korean version of International Outcome Inventory for Hearing Aids) score of 25 or higher. The procedure for gain adjustment of the hearing aid was through NAL-NL2 (National Acoustic Laboratories, non-linear version 2) at first adjustment and subjective responses of the subject afterwards. Real-ear insertion gain, aided threshold, WRS in noise, and sound quality evaluation were conducted at week 0 (initial fit), week 2, and week 6 (or final visit). Results: The study showed a higher gain in 55 dB sound pressure level at most frequencies and improved aided thresholds at 1,000 Hz and 2,000 Hz as the wearing period increased. WRS also increased in 10 dB and 5 dB signal-to-noise ratios, and the sharpness, occlusion, and loudness of noise were shown to improve despite the increased gain. Conclusion: Despite the limitation of gain change with the wearing period, the results of this study expect to aid in setting rehabilitation goals according to the wearing period and adjusting electroacoustic parameters.","PeriodicalId":36841,"journal":{"name":"Audiology and Speech Research","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81692633","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 significance of MRP was studied through mismatch negativity (MMN) and Music Listening Attitude and Satisfaction Questionnaire for hearing loss (MASQ_H). Methods: Fifteen adult cochlear implant (CI) users (34.5 years; standard deviation, ± 11.6) participated. MMN was tested before and after MRP training at the stimulus intensity level of 70 and 100 dB hearing loss (HL). In addition, MASQ_H was utilized. Results: For the pre- and post-tests of MMN, the average amplitudes of the waveforms were -2.48 ± 1.95 µV and -6.11 ± 4.21 µV and the areas were 208.16 ± 211.59 µV·ms and 527.87 ± 360.42 µV·ms with the significant difference when the stimulus level was presented at 70 dB HL. For MASQ_H, 90.9% of the participants responded that they felt satisfied with listening to music using CI or hearing aid. When asked about the musical factors that were improved in the music listening, the ‘pitch perception’ and ‘timbre perception’ were responded showing increased satisfaction rates. Conclusion: This study confirmed that MRP improved language processing by facilitating auditory processing, cognitive ability, and neural plasticity of the central auditory system through the increased amplitude and area of MMN after MRP application. Furthermore, providing a systematic music training such as MRP could change the music listening attitudes and satisfaction of the CI users’. The active implementation of music rehabilitation is strongly suggested.","PeriodicalId":36841,"journal":{"name":"Audiology and Speech Research","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84416884","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 contents were verified to confirm the appropriateness of the translated PEACH version. The Korean version of PEACH was conducted on parents of 120 children with normal hearing aged 0 to 4 years. The internal consistency reliability and constructive validity analyses were performed. The PEACH scores (quiet, noise, and overall) were compared between age groups, and the logistic regression analyses between scores and age were examined.Results: Chronbach’s alpha values of the PEACH were 0.954 in overall, 0.939 in quiet, and 0.885 in noise, showing high internal consistency reliability, and significant constructive validity was shown. The PEACH scores significantly increased as age increased from 0 to 4 years. There were large score differences in the age range from 0 to 2 years. There was no significant difference after 3 years of age, but a significantly lower score was observed in noise. The logistic regression analysis between scores and age indicated that 85% of the overall score was achieved at 31 months of age.Conclusion: These findings suggest that the Korean version of PEACH is highly reliable and valid as a test tool for measuring the hearing performance of young children.","PeriodicalId":36841,"journal":{"name":"Audiology and Speech Research","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90762254","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}

Participants were three older adults with hearing impairment. Three assessment tools, audiometric, neuropsychological, and outcome measurements of the subjective hearing handicap inventory for the elderly, were examined before and after the VR cognitive training. The VR cognitive training was conducted once per week for 6 weeks and consisted of five different VR games classified into three specific cognitive domains (attention, memory, and executive function). The improved VR game performances were constantly observed across the training sessions in all three participants. After the VR cognitive training, first, the scores on the forward digit span test (attention), immediate recall on the SVLT-E (memory), and word reading and color reading on the K-CWST (executive function) were improved for all participants. In addition, the reaction time on the K-TMT-E (executive function) was shortened. Second, the sentence recognition scores in adverse listening conditions (SNR 0 dB and -5 dB) were improved. Third, the Korean version of hearing handicap inventory for the elderly (K-HHIE) scores which are reflective of subjective hearing handicap were decreased. Preventive intervention for cognitive deficits in older adults with hearing impairment is needed because hearing impairment is one of the major risk factors for dementia in older age. In this respect, the present case study demonstrates that VR cognitive training could improve cognitive function, speech-in-noise perception, and subjective hearing handicap in the hearing-impaired elderly.","PeriodicalId":36841,"journal":{"name":"Audiology and Speech Research","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91304195","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}

We implemented the test for rating of emotions in speech. The participants were presented with spoken sentences, which consisted of four emotional categories (anger, sadness, happiness, and neutral) in terms of prosody and semantics. In the general rating tasks, the participants were asked to listen to the sentences and rated the degree of the speaker’s emotions. In the attention rating tasks, the participants were asked to focus on only one cue (prosody and semantics) and to rate how much they agree with the speaker’s emotion.Results: The young group scored significantly higher than the elderly group on the general rating tasks and attention rating tasks. The elderly group scored higher on the semantic tasks than on the prosodic tasks, while the young group scored similarly on the semantic and prosodic tasks.Conclusion: The elderly adults have lower abilities to perceive emotion in speech than the young adults. They have difficulty in using the prosodic cues of emotional speech. In addition, the elderly adults try to use the semantic cues of emotional speech in order to compensate for their poor abilities to process the prosodic cues.","PeriodicalId":36841,"journal":{"name":"Audiology and Speech Research","volume":"52 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85873397","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}

Sound therapy is a representative rehabilitation option that has been used to relieve the adverse effects of tinnitus. It helps to reduce the discomfort caused by tinnitus by providing various external background noises to those suffering from tinnitus. The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of sound therapy on tinnitus relief in people with mild tinnitus.Methods: Twelve participants with mild tinnitus participated in this study. Sound therapy was performed for 3 months using a customized mobile phone application. Broadband noise was used as the sound therapy stimulus. The level of stimulus was set to the level of the mixing point. The Korean version of the Tinnitus Primary Function Questionnaire (K-TPFQ) score, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score, and tinnitus loudness level were recorded as outcome measurements at baseline and 3 months.Results: There were no significant differences in the K-TPFQ and VAS scores and tinnitus loudness level between the baseline and 3-month follow-up session.Conclusion: The results of this study showed that sound therapy alone for 3 months does not provide significant tinnitus relief in participants with mild tinnitus. Therefore, considering only sound therapy for rehabilitation in people with mild tinnitus might not be ideal for providing relief.","PeriodicalId":36841,"journal":{"name":"Audiology and Speech Research","volume":"2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80007958","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}
