Acceptable Noise Level (ANL) ; Compréhension dans le bruit ; Musique ; Rapport signal-bruit (SNRs) (RSB)Résumé : Objectives: The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of music versus speech on a listener's signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) preferences when listening in a noise background. SNR preferences were quantified using acceptable noise level (ANL) and preferred SNR metrics. The measurement paradigm for ANL allows the listener to adjust the level of background noise while listening to the target at their most comfortable loudness level. A higher ANL indicates less tolerance for noise and a lower ANL indicates high tolerance for noise. The preferred SNR is simply the SNR the listener prefers when attending to a target in a fixed-amount (level) of background noise. In contrast to the ANL, the listener does not have control over the noise. Rather, they are only able to manipulate the target level. The first aim of the study was to determine if listeners' tolerances for noise, quantified using the ANL, when listening to music is different from that when listening to speech. The second aim of the study was to determine if listeners' tolerances for noise, quantified using their preferred SNR, when listening to music is different from that when listening to speech. The third aim of the study was to quantify the relationship between ANL and preferred SNR.
Design: Ninety-nine normal-hearing, native-English speakers participated in this study. The ANL and preferred SNR were measured for speech and music targets. Music targets included two variations (with lyrics and without lyrics) of the song "Rocky Top." Measurements were made in the sound field at 0[degrees] azimuth, 1.5 m from a loud speaker. For both ANL and preferred SNR, targets were presented in 12-talker babble noise. The level of the noise was adjusted by the listener during ANL measurement but was fixed in level during the preferred SNR measurement (75 dB A). Repeated-measures analysis of variance was performed to identify any significant effect of target on the ANL and preferred SNR. Correlation analysis was performed to evaluate the relationship between ANL and preferred SNR.
Results: Findings demonstrate a significant effect of target on ANL and preferred SNR. ANLs were highest for speech (mean = 7.2 dB), followed by music with lyrics (6.1 dB), and music without lyrics (2.5 dB). Preferred SNRs were highest for music with lyrics (mean = 2.3 dB), followed by speech (1.2 dB), and music without lyrics (-0.1 dB). A listener's ANL for a given target was strongly correlated with their ANL for a different target (the same was true for preferred SNR); however, ANL for a given target was not a statistically significant predictor of preferred SNR for the same target.
Conclusions: When listening in a background of noise, the listener's tolerance for noise depends on the target to which they are attending, whether music or speech. This dependence is especially evident for ANL measures, and less so for preferred SNR measures. Despite differences in ANL and preferred SNR across targets, a listener's ANL and preferred SNR for one target predicts their ANL and preferred SNR, respectively, for a different target. The lack of correlation between ANL and preferred SNR suggests different mechanisms underly these listener-preference metrics.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=J [...] Permalink : https://bib.vinci.be/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=295809

Audiométrie ; Compréhension dans le bruit ; Implants cochléaires ; Prothèse auditive ; Seuil de réception de la parole (SRT)Résumé : Objectifs : Introduire l'adaptation italienne du test STARR basé sur une méthode adaptative au niveau itinérant pour imiter des conditions d'écoute réelles difficiles à utiliser chez les personnes portant des prothèses auditives. Conception : Des données normatives ont été recueillies et la variabilité inter-listes, ainsi que les effets d'apprentissage, ont été étudiés à l'aide d'une conception intra-sujet avec des mesures répétées. Échantillon de l'étude : un groupe de 32 adultes à audition normale (NH) a participé à l'étude. Résultats: Le seuil moyen de réception de la parole (SRT) pour les sujets NH était de -8,4 dB SNR. La variabilité des SRT moyens entre les listes de tests était relativement faible (≤ 1 dB pour toutes les listes de tests). Les différences statistiquement significatives entre les listes ont été éliminées après application des facteurs de correction. Sur la base de la variabilité des SRT corrigées chez chaque sujet, une différence de 2,8 dB dans les SRT était significative pour les comparaisons de résultats en utilisant une liste de tests par condition et 2 dB en utilisant deux listes par condition. L'analyse statistique n'a montré aucun effet d'apprentissage significatif. Conclusions : Les résultats des auditeurs NH ont suggéré que le test italien STARR pourrait être un complément prometteur aux outils d'évaluation de la parole existants. D'autres études dans des populations ayant une déficience auditive pourraient contribuer à des études multilingues.

Compréhension dans le bruit ; Implants cochléaires ; Perte auditive unilatérale (USNHL)Résumé : Previous research showed benefits of remote wireless technology in bilaterally moderate- to-severe hearing-impaired participants provided with hearing aid(s), cochlear implant(s) (CIs), or bimodal devices as well as in single-sided deaf (SSD) cochlear implant recipients (with CI from Cochlear) and normal-hearing (NH) participants.
Purpose
To evaluate the effect of the digital remote wireless microphone system, Roger, on speech recognition at different levels of multisource noise in SSD CI recipients using MED-EL CI sound processor OPUS 2. Outcomes were assessed as a function of the listening condition, Roger receiver type (Roger Focus for NH; Roger Xand Roger MyLink for CI) and accessory mixing ratio.
Study Sample
Eleven adult, SSD participants aided with CI from MED-EL.
Data Collection and Analysis
Speech recognition in noise was assessed in two no-Roger conditions, one Roger X condition, and two Roger MyLink conditions. For the Roger X and no-Roger conditions, speech recognition was tested at 60.3 dB(A) with the Oldenburg Sentence Test in classroom noise at levels of 55, 65, and 75 dB(A). For the two Roger MyLink conditions, speech recognition at 60.3 dB(A) was measured at a noise level of 75 dB(A). Roger X was assessed with an accessory mixing ratio of 1:1 (summation of unattenuated microphone and audio accessory input). For Roger MyLink, two accessory mixing ratios were investigated, MT (1:1, summation of unattenuated microphone and telecoil input) and T with maximum attenuation of microphone input.
Results
Speech recognition at higher noise levels (65 and 75 dB(A)) improved significantly with Roger in both unilateral use conditions (NH + CIRog and NHRog + CI) as well as bilateral use condition (NHRog + CIRog). Both the bilateral application of Roger and the unilateral Roger application on the NH ear outperformed the Roger application on CI alone. There was no statistically significant effect of type of CI Roger receiver (Roger X or Roger MyLink) and the accessory mixing ratio (MT or T) on speech recognition.
Conclusions
Speech recognition for distant speakers in multisource noise improved significantly with the application of Roger in SSD CI recipients. Both the unilateral Roger application on the NH ear or the CI as well as the bilateral Roger application can be recommended.Disponible en ligne : Oui/Non En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://medone-comsci.thieme.com/ejourn [...] Permalink : https://bib.vinci.be/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=258645

Appareillage unilateralRésumé : Objectives: To determine population-based risks of adverse effects on hearing and well-being outcomes associated with unilateral hearing impairment.
Design: A group of 40- to 69-year-old adults (n = 861) who reported being able to hear only in one ear and having speech reception thresholds (SRTs) in noise indicating normal hearing in that ear (SRTN/-) was selected from the UK Biobank cohort. The UK Biobank participants with SRTs indicating either normal (SRTN/N, n = 95,514) or symmetrically impaired hearing in both ears (SRTI/I, n = 17,429) were selected as comparison groups. Self-reported difficulty following conversations in noise, tinnitus presence, feeling depressed, lonely, unhappy, and being in poor health or dissatisfied with health were selected as hearing and well-being outcomes. Logistic regression models were used to evaluate the risks of reporting adverse outcomes associated with SRTN/- compared with SRTN/N and SRTI/I while controlling for numerous factors linked to hearing and general health.
Results: People with SRTN/- were significantly more likely to report difficulties following conversations in noise (odds ratio, 10.61; 95% confidence interval, 8.83 to 12.75), tinnitus (4.04; 3.51 to 4.66), poor health (1.35; 1.15 to 1.58), health dissatisfaction (1.22; 1.00 to 1.47), and loneliness (1.28; 1.08 to 1.51) compared with people with SRTN/N. Well-being outcomes were similar in the SRTN/- and SRTI/I groups. However, difficulties following conversations in noise (5.35; 4.44 to 6.44) and tinnitus presence (2.66; 2.31 to 3.08) were significantly more likely with SRTN/- than with SRTI/I. The SRTN/- was associated with increased risk of self-reported poor health by 18% (relative risk, 1.18; 95% confidence interval, 1.06 to 1.32) and loneliness by 24% (1.24; 1.07 to 1.43) compared with SRTN/N. The risk of reporting difficulties following conversations in noise increased by 64% (1.64; 1.58 to 1.71) and tinnitus presence by 84% (1.84; 1.69 to 2.01) compared with SRTI/I. The effect of SRTN/- on reporting poor health was similar to that from having other health problems such as hypertension or high cholesterol.
Conclusions: The large increases in the risks of reporting adverse hearing-related outcomes associated with unilateral hearing impairment suggest its specific impact on hearing function in everyday situations. The increased risk of loneliness and poor health indicates that one normally functioning ear is also insufficient to protect against the adverse psychosocial impacts of unilateral hearing impairment. This impact was still significant after controlling for various health-related factors and can lead to perception of poor health comparable to that with having medical problems contributing to life-threatening conditions such as heart disease. The findings suggest the need for effective interventions to address the hearing-related problems and their impact on well-being in people with unilateral hearing impairment.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=J [...] Permalink : https://bib.vinci.be/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=273192
