The inner-relationship among lipreading ability, auditory speech perception ability, hearing loss, and language level in hearing impaired children

This paper reviews a study done to determine the correlation between lipreading, auditory speech perception, language abilities, and hearing loss levels in hearing impaired children.

Role of alpha synuclein in noise induced hearing loss

The recent discovery of the contribution of alpha synuclein in the auditory system prompted further investigation of its functional role. Auditory brainstem response (ABR) and gap detection testing were completed on wild-type and transgenic M83 mice to assess the role of alpha synuclein in noise-induced hearing loss and central auditory function.

The role of pediatrician in hearing loss: from detection to connection

This paper presents a study investigating how informed pediatricians are about hearing loss and their ability to assist and refer parents of children with hearing loss.

Comparison of long term cochlear noise injury and age-related cochlear degeneration in mice

This paper studies and compares age related hearing loss and noise-induced hearing loss in mice, and the different cell types that are affected by aging and noise.

Educating deaf and hard of hearing students in the mainstream classroom

This paper examines the mainstreaming of hearing-impaired students in regular education classrooms. It evaluates the areas where teachers need more information regarding deafness, hearing loss and the teaching of hearing-impaired students. The paper also presents a list of resources to assist teachers in the education of hearing-impaired students in the mainstream classroom.

The relation between speech recognition in noise and the speech-evoked brainstem response in normal-hearing and hearing-impaired individuals

Little is known about the way speech in noise is processed along the auditory pathway. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relation between listening in noise using the R-Space system and the neurophysiologic response of the speech-evoked auditory brainstem when recorded in quiet and noise in adult participants with mild to moderate hearing loss and normal hearing.
