Noise exposure in the operating room

This paper discusses a study done to determine noise levels in operating rooms

A comparison of physical measurements of pure-tones, third-octave bands of noise and third-octave bands of speech to subjective judgments of audibility threshold, MCL and UCL for three normally hearing listeners

This study investigates the relation between physical measurements of pure-tones, third-octave bands of noise and third-octave bands of speech and subjective judgments of auditory threshold, most-comfortable listening level (MCL) and uncomfortable-listening level (UCL) for three normally hearing listeners.

Noise levels and hearing conservation in a water treatment facility

This paper describes a study assessing the sound levels and noise exposures of a municipal water treatment plant to determine the level of employee noise exposure dosages and to make any necessary recommendations regarding reducing the risk of noise induced hearing loss in employees.

Acoustic phonetics applied to auditory training and the teaching of speech to the hearing impaired

This paper is a review of acoustic phonetics as applied to auditory training for 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 effectiveness of noise cancellation headphones for hearing impaired listeners

This paper discusses the use of noise cancellation headphones for hearing aid users to reduce background noise in order to improve speech discrimination.

Bone-conducted tones masked by air-conducted noise

This paper presents a study designed to develop and evaluate a method for obtaining monaural thresholds for bone-conducted signals masked by air-conducted noises.

Reaction-times of hearing-impaired children to acoustic stimuli of different sensation levels

This paper discusses a study to determine the relation between sensation level and response time to acoustic stimuli.

Tactile localization of acoustic stimuli with an earmold vibratrory aid

This study examines the tactile localization of sound sources utilizing an earmold vibratory hearing aid.

Noise exposure in the fire department

This paper discusses noise exposure to firefighters on the job and whether this contributes to noise induced hearing loss.

Patient perception of disability following acoustic (vestibular) schwannoma removal via gamma knife and microsurgical techniques

This study evaluates patient's short and long-term balance function after microsurgical tumor removal and gamma knife radiosurgery using an unvalidated qualitative questionnaire and the Dizziness Handicap Inventory.

Differences in performance in noise between conventional hearing aids and radiant multimicrophone beamforming technology

This paper discusses the results of a study to determine the differences between hearing aids and radiant beamforming technology.

Psychophysical estimation of the effective level of internal noise in the auditory system

This paper reviews a study to examine signal detection in the auditory system.

Detection of words in real-speech background noise by profoundly deaf children

This paper discusses a study to assess the performance of profoundly deaf children in detection tasks with speech as the background noise.

Identification of normal and abnormal acoustic speech patterns by profoundly hearing-impaired children

This paper discusses a study to determine if profoundly hearing impaired children could identify acoustically normal speech patterns from abnormal speech patterns.
