Cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potential (cVEMP) is a biphasic recorded from the Sternocleidomastoid muscle in response to loud acoustic stimulation and assesses intactness of Sacculocolic pathway. The literature on clinical utility cVEMP has been growing rapidly, though not without inconsistencies despite involving alike population. A close scrutiny methods across such studies revealed an inconsistent use stimulus parameters; especially rise/fall times (RFTs). However effect RFTs...

Objective: This study aimed to correct the notion regarding efficacy of cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (cVEMP) in identifying benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV)-associated changes peripheral system. Study design: A static group comparison research design was used compare cVEMP results a individuals with BPPV age range 30–60 years against age- and gender-matched healthy individuals. The were recorded tone bursts 500 Hz gated using Blackman window. 95dB nHL presented...

The study investigated the effect of noise on syllable perception in individuals with Auditory Neuropathy Spectrum Disorder (ANSD) and compared that normal hearing individuals.A total 54 participants were considered, out which 26 diagnosed ANSD 28 sensitivity. Syllable identification discrimination assessed both groups quiet as well +10 dB SNR.All performed poorer tasks to hearing. Information transfer d-prime analyses revealed affects voicing information place manner information. Among...

Abstract Introduction Auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder (ANSD) is a clinical condition in which individuals have normal cochlear responses and abnormal neural responses. There lack of evidence the literature regarding discrimination skill with ANSD, especially when signal presented presence noise. Objectives The present study was performed aim to investigate auditory skill, quiet noise, ANSD compare findings normal-hearing individuals. Methods A total 30 hearing sensitivity age range 15...

Introduction: Typically, individuals with auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder (ANSD) show the presence of otoacoustic emissions and elevated/absent brainstem responses. It has been reported that ANSD, in spite absent or abnormal ABRs, cortical potentials. P300 is an endogenous cortical-evoked potential reflects changes activity when attention paid toward sound. This can effectively quantify complex sensory-cognitive processing underlying active perception. Therefore, present study was...

Introduction: Studies suggest that children with learning disability (LD) have poor phonological representation. Furthermore, in individuals LD, it has been reported spite of having normal intelligence, they speech perception quiet and the presence noise. As per literature, there was no published report which highlights pattern different types noise LD. Thus, present study aimed to assess typically developing Methods: A total forty including twenty LD age range 5–10 years were included...

This study aimed to assess pattern perception at different signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in children with learning disability (LD) and typically developing children. The first objective of this was estimate the identification scores quiet SNR (0 dB -5 SNR) LD compare result second for words differing syllable length (monosyllable, bisyllable, trisyllable) both groups groups.Participants included 60 including 40 20 age range 7-11 years. Speech assessed using varying (monosyllables, bisyllables,...

Purpose: The present study aimed to assess the effect of practicing yoga on functioning sacculo-collic and utriculo-ocular pathways using cervical ocular vestibular evoked myogenic potential (cVEMP oVEMP). Methods: A total 10 healthy young adults aged 20–25 years participated in study. Audiological evaluation including pure-tone audiometry, immittance, otoacoustic emission, cVEMP, oVEMP was done ensure a normal audio-vestibular system. Short-term training provided for all participants days,...

Abstract Purpose The study aimed to investigate the effect of PCOS on high-frequency thresholds, speech perception in quiet and presence noise, vestibular functioning women with without correlate scores that pure-tone thresholds obtained at conventional higher frequencies. Methods Women age range 18–40 years diagnosed between January 2019 2020 were participants. Conventional audiometry (HFA), noise (SPIN), cervical vestibular-evoked myogenic potentials (cVEMP) ocular (oVEMP) assessed for...

Introduction: With the growth in field of speech and hearing globally, requirements training programs have seen a transition India. One changes is an increase number institutions worldwide offering specialization either audiology or speech-language pathology (SLP) at master's level, instead dual program. However, year 2017, out 19 institutes degrees hearing, only two provided (as per website Rehabilitation Council India, 2017). Hence, present study aimed to investigate requirement for...

Urinary tract infection means the presence and active multiplication of microorganisms within urinary that affects any part tract. A cross sectional descriptive study was conducted on 601 urine sample to determine antibiotic sensitivity pattern bacteria causing in 250 diabetic 351non-diabetic patients from February 2016 March 2016. All samples were investigated by standard laboratory procedures. Out patient 111 (44.4%) female 139 (55.6%) male among non-diabetic, 234 (66.7%) 117(33.3%) male....

Introduction Coronavirus disease (COVID-19), considered to be caused by a novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), is an acute respiratory which was declared pandemic the World Health Organization. Previously published reports have shown contradictory findings on involvement of auditory system in individuals infected with COVID-19. The present study aims assess functioning post-COVID-19 infection and compare results without COVID-19 infection. Material methods Participants this were 30 who had...
