Gaze stabilization testing: The efficiency and test-retest reliability of user operated control versus the parameter estimation (PEST) algorithm

The primary objective of this research study is to determine which form of testing, the PEST algorithm or an operator-controlled condition is most accurate and time efficient for administration of the gaze stabilization test

Historical review of articulation testing and a recent revision of auditory test no. 9

This paper reviews the history of articulation testing and presents a revision of a standard articulation test.

Validation of an automated algorithm for auditory brainstem response testing

This paper discusses the auditory brainstem response (ABR) testing for infants.

Effects of combined electric and acoustic hearing on speech perception of a pediatric cochlear implant user

The primary objective of this study was to document the benefits and possible detriments of combining ipsilateral acoustic hearing in the cochlear implant ear of a patient with preserved low frequency residual hearing post cochlear implantation. The secondary aim was to examine the efficacy of various cochlear implant mapping and hearing aid fitting strategies in relation to electro-acoustic benefits.

Evaluating lexically controlled word lists for open set speech perception testing in profoundly hearing impaired children

This paper evaluates speech perception testing in pediatric cochlear implant users. Using pre-recorded stimulus presentation, the author replicated an earlier experiment comparing the Lexical Neighborhood List (LNT) test to the Phonetically Balanced Kindergarten (PB-K) test in estimating speech perception abilities in hearing impaired children.

Changes in the use of ABR testing for differential diagnosis of hearing loss from 1984 to 2002

This paper studies trends in the use of diagnostic auditory brainstem response (ABR) at St. Louis Children's Hospital from 1984 to 2001 in light of legislative changes in Missouri mandating screening for hearing loss in all newborns beginning January 1, 2002.

A study of hearing aid user satisfaction based on the hearing aid performance inventory

This paper discusses a study to determine the effectiveness of the Hearing Aid Performance Inventory (HAPI) on hearing aid outcomes.

A literature review of three common balance tests: Electronystagmography, Rotary Chair Testing, and Computerized Dynamic Posturography

This paper discusses the rationale, clinical applications, advantages and disadvantages of three common balance function tests: Electronystagmography (ENG), Rotational Chair Testing (RCT), and Computerized Dynamic Posturography (CDP).
