Objective Tinnitus is the perception of sound without an external source. More than 50 million people in United States have reported experiencing tinnitus, resulting estimated prevalence 10% to 15% adults. Despite high tinnitus and its potential significant effect on quality life, there are no evidence‐based, multidisciplinary clinical practice guidelines assist clinicians with management. The focus this guideline that both bothersome persistent (lasting 6 months or longer), which often...
Ninety-seven member of a tinnitus self-help group were asked to list the difficulties that they had as result their tinnitus. Seventy-two replies returned from 22 men and 48 women (sex not report in two cases) whose average age was 61 years. Tinnitus associated with hearing 53%, effects on lifestyle 93%, general health 56%, emotional 70% sample. Getting sleep most frequently mentioned difficulty, many respondents indicated experienced depression, annoyance, insecurity. The clinical...
The psychometric properties of a tinnitus handicap questionnaire are reported. There were two phases in this study. In Phase I, 87 questions administered to 100 patients. From their responses, 59 items that either redundant, insensitive, or had low item-total correlations eliminated. II, the resulting 27-item was 319 Fifty-three these patients also completed psychological and psychophysical measures used validate questionnaire. A factor analysis patients' responses revealed three-factor...
Five bilateral cochlear implant users were tested for their localization abilities and speech understanding in noise, both monaural binaural listening conditions. They also participated lateralization tasks to assess the impact of variations interaural time delays (ITDs) level differences (ILDs) electrical pulse trains under direct computer control. The task used pink noise bursts presented from an eight-loudspeaker array spanning arc approximately 108° front listeners at ear (0-degree...
A questionnaire was administered to 528 tinnitus patients obtain data on their reactions tinnitus. Results include a discussion of: (a) population characteristics, (b) perceptual (c) the impact of daily life, and (d) etiology. Significant gender differences are also discussed. Tinnitus not an occasional phenomenon, but present for more than 26 days per month in 74% patients. Other important findings about include: Hearing levels at 1000 4000 Hz were less or equal 25 dB HL 18% patients, which...
This study focused on the long-term speech perception performances of 34 prelingually deafened children who received multichannel cochlear implants manufactured by Cochlear Corporation. The were grouped age at which they and characterized amount time used their devices per day. A variety tests administered to annual intervals following connection external implant hardware. No significant differences in performance are evident for implanted before 5 compared after closed-set ability. All...
This paper describes the listening habits and musical enjoyment of postlingually deafened adults who use cochlear implants. Sixty-five implant recipients (35 females, 30 males) participated in a survey containing questions about background, prior involvement music, audiologic success with various circumstances. Responses were correlated measures cognition speech recognition. Sixty-seven completed daily diaries (7 consecutive days) which they reported hours spent specific music activities....
To predict the audiological outcomes of 2 multichannel cochlear implants, a preoperative battery historical, audiological, electrophysiologic, and psychologic variables from 48 postlingually deafened adults was tested in prospective randomized clinical trial. Multivariate analyses were used to select combine these predictive index that significantly related outcome at 9 months. The included duration profound deafness, speech reading ability, residual hearing, cognitive measures compliance...
English language achievement of 29 prelingually deaf children with 3 or more years cochlear implant (CI) experience was compared to the levels who did not have such CI experience. Language measured by Rhode Island Test Structure (RITLS), a measure signed and spoken sentence comprehension, Index Productive Syntax (IPSyn), expressive (signed spoken) grammar. When users were their age mates contributed norms RITLS, it found that achieved significantly better scores. Likewise, we performed than...
Four measures of auditory temporal processing were obtained from 16 normals and individuals with a hearing loss heterogeneous origin. These were: (1) integration—the difference in detection thresholds between signals 10- 1000-ms duration (which was determined to provide an estimate the ability integrate energy over time), (2) gap detection—the shortest silence two noise bursts that can be discriminated uninterrupted noise, (3) limen—the increment necessary detect burst, (4) silent interval...
Objective The purpose of this pilot study was to document speech perception and localization abilities in patients who use a cochlear implant one ear hearing aid the other ear. Design We surveyed group 111 asked them whether they used on their unimplanted first three were available tested word sentence recognition tasks. Speech stimuli presented from front quiet noise. In latter conditions, noise either front, right, or left. Localization with bursts at 45° right addition we about integrate...
The audiologic performance of 54 postlingually deafened adults wearing cochlear implants was uniformly evaluated. participants had 9 months' or more experience with one five different prostheses (Los Angeles Single Channel (N = 11), Vienna 4), Melbourne Multichannel 18), Utah 19), San Francisco 2). multichannel designs enabled to recognize environmental sounds, provided speech reading enhancement, and most users understand limited in the sound-only condition, compared single-channel implant group.
Obstruction that occurs within the scala tympani (after meningitis or otosclerosis) has been considered a contraindication for placement of multichannel cochlear implant electrode. Two patients who exhibited radiographic evidence intracochlear narrowing and obliteration were implanted with electrodes. Implantation involved creation channel electrode to wrap around modiolus. The middle ear cavity external auditory canal also had be removed gain access. response one was similar normal anatomy...
The purpose of this investigation was to document performance participants wearing a cochlear implant and hearing aid in opposite ears on speech-perception localization tests. Twelve individuals who wore contralateral were tested their abilities understand words quiet sentences noise, localize everyday sounds. All speech stimuli presented from the front, with noise right, or left at 90° angle. Binaural summation binaural squelch effects, studied determine bilateral advantages. magnitude...
Abstract The aim of the pilot study was to evaluate effect Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS) paired with sounds in chronic tinnitus patients. All participants were implanted and randomized a VNS (n = 16) or control 14) group. After 6 weeks home therapy, all received VNS. device used on 96% days good compliance. weeks, group improved Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI) (p 0.0012) compared controls 0.1561). between-group difference 10.3% 0.3393). Fifty percent showed clinically meaningful...
