Acouphène ; Adolescent ; Enfant (6-12 ans) ; Evaluation auditive ; Qualité de vie ; Revue systématiqueRésumé : Background
Chronic tinnitus during childhood/adolescence can be associated with impaired quality of life. Guidelines for managing paediatric tinnitus recommend assessment and interventions are often based upon the experiences and opinions of guideline committee members.
Objective
To examine patient response tools used for the assessment and management of childhood tinnitus and how interventions had been evaluated.
Design
A structured scoping review (i) identifying and critically appraising patient response measures (PRMs) assessing tinnitus in children/adolescents, and (ii) critically appraising evidence supporting reported interventions. Original papers written in English, involving paediatric participants ≤19 years, reporting (i) application of established PRMs to assess the experience of chronic tinnitus or (ii) application and evaluation of tinnitus interventions were included.
Study sample
Papers written in English, identifying, or assessing the experience of chronic tinnitus (>3 months) as a primary complaint during childhood/adolescence in participants ≤19 years of age using a PRM and studies evaluating the application of non-pharmaceutical interventions for tinnitus in children/adolescents.
Results
Six studies involving the assessment of tinnitus during childhood/adolescence using a PRM were identified and evaluated. Three established (previously named, described, and published) PRMs were applied of which none were developed specifically for children/adolescents. Three behavioural tinnitus interventions and three combination intervention strategies (coupling of psychological intervention with sound enrichment) had been applied to and evaluated within paediatric populations.
Conclusions
Although clinicians are seeing children/adolescents with tinnitus, they are evaluating and managing childrens distress without appropriate PRMs, and little evidence exists to support clinical interventions.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2022.2111371

Adolescent ; Adulte ; Ouïe ; Peuple autochtone ; Peuples aborigène d'Australie et ilien du détroit de Torres ; Santé auditiveRésumé : Objective
Review empirical research investigating the prevalence, experiences and management of hearing loss and ear disease in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander adults.
Design
Scoping review.
Study samples
Searches of four electronic databases, Advanced Google, and key webpages identified 16,373 studies − 21 met inclusion criteria: original research relating to hearing/ear health and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander adults.
Results
Fourteen studies measured prevalence of hearing loss or middle-ear dysfunction, with a rate of hearing loss at an estimated 50% (reports ranging from 8% to 100%). Five studies reported views, attitudes, and experiences of hearing loss, with results showing hearing loss negatively impacted individual experiences in health and justice systems, and health professionals had limited understanding of the socioeconomic risk factors of middle ear disease. No articles directly reported on hearing loss management.
Conclusions
There is a lack of research into the hearing health of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander adults, despite its critical importance in addressing health and social inequities. Given the widely varying and imprecise estimated rates of hearing loss detected, urgent action is needed to obtain accurate prevalence estimates and, in partnership with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, identify the best methods of screening and managing hearing loss.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2022.2129853

Implants cochléaires ; Potentiel évoqué stationnaire (ASSR)Résumé : Objective
It has recently been discussed whether hearing screening and hearing threshold assessment can accurately be completed using automated ASSR methods for children with auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder (ANSD). Possible causes for the claimed potential failures were investigated here.
Design
The study is based on the analysis of stored ASSR raw data.
Study sample
This study reviewed raw ASSR data from 274 patients with a total of 5809 individual recordings.
Results
Cochlear microphonics (CM) were found in 18 of the 274 patient records. Four of these 18 were obtained from patients with ANSD. One patient with ANSD without click auditory brainstem responses up to 100 dBnHL demonstrated clear ASSR responses from 65 dBnHL upwards. Where click stimulation suggests an auditory nerve defect, narrow-band chirps were shown to evoke ASSR in certain patients. CMs are elicited by narrow-band chirps in the same way as by broadband stimuli. CM residuals as well as a presumed enlarged wave I with absent neural responses, always accompanied by CM, were found as possible causes of misinterpretation at high stimulus levels. A CM detector was created.
Conclusions
The CM detector, indicating the presence of CM, will prevent misinterpretation of clinical ASSR results.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2022.2124199
Titre : Impedance development after implantation of hybrid-L24 cochlear implant electrodes (2023) Auteurs : Simon Konrad, Auteur ; Andreas Buchner, Auteur ; Thomas Lenarz, Auteur ; Gerrit Paasche, Auteur Type de document : Article Dans : International Journal of Audiology IJA (Vol. 62, n°12, December 2022) Article en page(s) : p. 1137-1144 Note générale : https://doi.org/10.1080/14992027.2022.2125914 Langues: Anglais Descripteurs : HE Vinci
Electrodes ; Implants cochléaires ; Tests d'impédance acoustique ; VieillissementRésumé : Objective
Shorter and thinner electrodes were developed for preserving residual hearing after cochlear implantation by minimising trauma. As trauma is regarded as one of the causes of fibrous tissue formation after implantation, and increase in impedance is considered to be connected to fibrous tissue formation, the aim of the current study was to evaluate impedance development after implantation of Hybrid-L electrodes.
Design
Impedance values were retrospectively collected from our clinical database and evaluated for all active contacts and basal, middle and apical contacts separately for up to 10 years.
Study samples
All 137 adult patients received a Hybrid-L electrode and had to be implanted for at least 1 year.
Results
On average impedances increased to 13 kOhm before first fitting and dropped to 57 kOhm under electrical stimulation with lower values measured on apical contacts. Mean values remained stable over years, but variability increased. Values before first fitting were independent of age at implantation whereas lower values were found later in patients of higher age at implantation.
Conclusion
Despite smaller contacts, impedance values after start of electrical stimulation were comparable to published values of Contour electrodes. This might suggest less tissue growth with the Hybrid-L electrode array.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2022.2125914

Audiologie ; Australie ; Consultation à distance ; COVID-19 ; Ouïe ; PandémiesRésumé : Objective
To explore the utilisation, safety, cost, and patient outcomes of delivering tele-audiology services during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Design
A national cross-sectional self-report online survey asking participants to reflect on interactions with hearing services between April and October 2020. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics. The COM-B model of behaviour change guided survey creation and the presentation of a subset of the results.
Study sample
249 Australia-based hearing healthcare clinicians (age range 2374 years; 162 female).
Results
Clinicians reported an increase in the use of tele-audiology services, with key drivers relating to keeping their patients safe and keeping businesses running. Clinicians generally viewed the provision of tele-audiology services as successful and resulting in improved patient outcomes. Overall, clinicians were highly motivated to provide tele-audiology services, and they expressed being confident in their knowledge and understanding of tele-audiology service delivery. Barriers to providing tele-audiology services included concerns about the reliability of the results obtained from remote assessments, as well as concerns around information security and privacy issues.
Conclusions
Clinicians motivations to use tele-audiology services appeared to be driven by their desire to maintain COVID-safe practices during the pandemic and by the COVID-driven increase in availability of funding for tele-audiology services.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2022.2128446

Consultation à distance ; COVID-19 ; Lecture labiale ; Masques (équipement de protection) ; Santé mentale ; Stratégie d'ajustement ; SurditéRésumé : Objective
To understand the communicational and psychosocial effects of COVID-19 protective measures in real-life everyday communication settings.
Design
An online survey consisting of close-set and open-ended questions aimed to describe the communication difficulties experienced in different communication activities (in-person and telecommunication) during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Study sample
172 individuals with hearing loss and 130 who reported not having a hearing loss completed the study. They were recruited through social media, private audiology clinics, hospitals and monthly newsletters sent by the non-profit organisation Audition Quebec.
Results
Face masks were the most problematic protective measure for communication in 7590% of participants. For all in-person communication activities, participants with hearing loss reported significantly more impact on communication than participants with normal hearing. They also exhibited more activity limitations and negative emotions associated with communication difficulties.
Conclusion
These results suggest that, in times of pandemic, individuals with hearing loss are more likely to exhibit communication breakdowns in their everyday activities. This may lead to social isolation and have a deleterious effect on their mental health. When interacting with individuals with hearing loss, communication strategies to optimise speech understanding should be used.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2022.2120552

Bruit ; Ouïe ; Prise de risque ; Surdité due au bruitRésumé : Objectives
To examine general risk propensity in relation to perceptions of noise, risk behaviour, and hearing loss in the general population.
Design
Participants completed an online survey using the Amazon Mechanical Turk crowdsourcing platform.
Study sample
The sample comprised 1274 adults from the United States.
Results
Higher general risk propensity was associated with an increased likelihood to engage in noise-risk behaviours. Lower general risk propensity was associated with increased knowledge of noise risks and an increased perception of noise as risky. The frequency of self-reported exposures to hazardous noise resulted in estimated annual noise doses exceeding standard hazard limits in 40% of the surveyed population.
Conclusions
Results revealed limited knowledge of the risks and associated health consequences of noise exposure in the general population Results of this study suggest a high rate of self-exposure to hazardous noise by the general population. Those with higher general risk propensity are more likely to engage in risky noise behaviour. Risky noise behaviour is associated with age, gender, race, ethnicity, and general risk propensity. Intervention programs to modify risky noise behaviour in the general population should focus on both increasing knowledge and establishing accurate perceptions of risk.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2022.2114023

Anesthésie locale ; Implants cochléairesMots-clés: Electrically evoked auditory brainstem response (EABR) Résumé : Objective
Subjective promontory stimulation is used to evaluate cochlear implant (CI) candidacy, but the test reliability is low. Electrically evoked auditory brainstem response (EABR) can verify the function of the auditory system objectively. This studys procedure uses a trans-tympanic rounded bent-tip electrode to perform pre-operative EABR under local anaesthesia (LA-TT-EABR) using MED-EL Software and Hardware. This study aimed to determine usability and effectiveness for CI candidates.
Design
We hypothesised that LA-TT-EABR waveforms of good quality would be related to successful hearing outcomes. We assumed that the duration of hearing loss/deafness was a confounding factor to study outcomes.
Study sample
19 borderline CI candidates.
Results
Positive LA-TT-EABR results were confirmed in 14 patients. LA-TT-EABRs mean latency was 2.05 ± 0.31 ms (eII/eIII) and 4.24 ± 0.39 ms (eIV/eV). Latencies werent statistically different from intra-operative EABR elicited by basal CI contacts. All positive LA-TT-EABR patients benefitted from CI and speech performance improved one year after implantation. One patient with negative LA-TT-EABR was cochlear-implanted and had no hearing sensation.
Conclusions
LA-TT-EABR is a tool in the frame of pre-operative objective testing the auditory pathway. It seems useful for clinical testing CI candidacy. Based on this studys outcomes, LA-TT-EABR should be recommended for uncertain CI candidates.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2022.2114024

Enfant (6-12 ans) ; Enquêtes et questionnaires ; Hyperacousie ; Trouble du spectre autistique (TSA)Résumé : Objective
Hyperacusis is reported to occur in 3.217.1% of the general paediatric population with higher rates in clinical populations such as autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Although hyperacusis is a relatively common form of decreased sound tolerance (DST), no valid paediatric hyperacusis measures are currently available. The purpose of the present study was to develop and validate a paediatric version of the Khalfa Hyperacusis Questionnaire (HQ) as a first step towards filling this measurement gap.
Design
A cross-sectional design was used to evaluate therapist opinions of the paediatric version (P-HQ) and to field test the P-HQ in parents of children with and without ASD. Total scores were compared between ASD and non-ASD groups.
Study sample
Eleven paediatric occupational and speech therapists with expertise in ASD, 64 parents of children with ASD and 37 parents of children without ASD completed online questionnaires. Psychometric analyses were conducted.
Results
A unidimensional construct was found underlying P-HQ and all items displayed sufficient theoretical relevance to hyperacusis and adequate psychometric properties.
Conclusions
The P-HQ demonstrates good internal consistency and shows promise as a potential screening tool for identifying DST in ASD. Further research is warranted to establish normative data and validate cut-off scores.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2022.2113827

Adolescent ; Audiométrie ; Auto-évaluation diagnostique ; SurditéRésumé : Objective
The overall objective in the study was to compare self-reported hearing based on a single question (how good would you currently rate your hearing?) to measure hearing loss determined by audiometry in a cohort of adolescents. Prevalence of audiometrically measured hearing loss and frequencies of self-reported poor hearing as well as factors that have an impact on self-reported hearing were examined.
Design
Baseline and 5-year follow-up data of the Ohrkan study were used. Participants filled in a questionnaire and underwent audiometric measurements.
Study sample
Data from 979 adolescents were analysed. Participants were 54.7% female and aged between 13 and 18 years at baseline and 1721 years at 5-yr follow-up.
Results
The single question on self-reported hearing ability achieved a sensitivity of 41.9% and a positive predictive value of 7.1% at baseline. For the 5-yr follow-up, sensitivity was 40.0%, positive predictive value was 13.9%. Factors influencing self-reported poor hearing were gender, tinnitus, muffled ears after exposure to loud noise (e.g. after a concert) and low-frequency hearing loss.
Conclusions
The single question about hearing ability used in the Ohrkan study is not sufficient to replace audiometry to detect hearing loss as defined in the study in adolescents.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2022.2129852

Adulte ; Communication ; Enfant (6-12 ans) ; Masques (équipement de protection) ; Parole ; Reconnaissance des motsRésumé : Objectives
This study explored the effects of different face masks on school-age childrens and young adults word recognition.
Design
Speech recognition thresholds were measured adaptively in a two-talker speech masker using a closed-set picture pointing task. Target words were recorded by a female talker in five conditions: no mask, transparent mask, face shield, N95 mask and surgical mask.
Study samples
Thirty children (812 years) and 25 adults (1825 years) with normal hearing.
Results
Both childrens and adults word recognition was most negatively impacted by the face shield. Childrens recognition was also impaired by the transparent mask. No negative effects were observed for the N95 or surgical mask for either age group.
Conclusion
School-age children, like young adults, are negatively affected by face masks when recognising speech in a two-talker speech masker, but the effects depend on the type of face mask being worn. Acoustic analyses suggest that the reflective materials used for masks impact speech signal quality and impair word recognition.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2023.2168218

Adulte ; Seuil de réception de la parole (SRT) ; Surdité de transmissionRésumé : Objectives
The objective of this study is (1) to assess whether the presentation level of the antiphasic digits-in-noise (DIN) test affects the speech recognition threshold (SRT), (2) to evaluate how accurately simulated unilateral and bilateral conductive hearing loss is detected (CHL) and (3) to determine whether increasing the presentation level normalises the antiphasic DIN SRT.
Design
Participants performed antiphasic and diotic DINs at different presentation levels with unilateral, bilateral or no earplugs.
Study sample
Twenty-four and twelve normal hearing adults.
Results
Without earplugs, antiphasic DIN SRTs did not differ between 60 and 80 dB SPL. At 60 dB SPL, the antiphasic DIN correctly classified 92% of the unilateral earplug cases; the diotic DIN 25%. The binaural intelligibility level difference did not differ between the no-earplug condition and the condition with bilateral earplugs when the presentation was increased with the attenuation level.
Conclusions
In normal hearing participants, diotic and antiphasic DIN SRTs are independent of presentation level above a minimum level of 60 dB SPL. The antiphasic DIN is more sensitive than the diotic DIN for detecting unilateral CHL; not for bilateral CHL. The effect of CHL on DIN SRTs can be largely compensated by increasing the presentation level. Audibility plays an important role in the antiphasic and diotic DIN.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2022.2119611

Activité de loisirs ; Audiométrie ; Canada ; Emissions otoacoustiques spontanées (OAEs) ; Perte d'auditionRésumé : Objective
To examine the association between individual and cumulative leisure noise exposure in addition to acceptable yearly exposure (AYE) and hearing outcomes among a nationally representative sample of Canadians.
Design
Audiometry, distortion-product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs) and in-person questionnaires were used to evaluate hearing and leisure noise exposure across age, sex, and household income/education level. High-risk cumulative leisure noise exposure was defined as 85 dBA or greater for 40 h or more per week, with AYE calculations also based on this occupational limit.
Study sample
A randomised sample of 10,460 respondents, aged 679, completed questionnaires and hearing evaluations between 2012 and 2015.
Results
Among 5079 year olds, high-risk cumulative leisure noise was associated with increased odds of a notch while high exposure to farming/construction equipment noise was associated with hearing loss, notches and absent DPOAEs. No associations with hearing loss were found however, non-significant tendencies observed included higher mean hearing thresholds, notches and hearing loss odds.
Conclusion
Educational outreach and monitoring of hearing among young and middle-aged populations exposed to hazardous leisure noise would be beneficial.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2022.2114022

Aides auditives ; Intelligibilité de la parole ; PhonétiqueRésumé : Objective
Hearing loss commonly causes difficulties in understanding speech in the presence of background noise. The benefits of hearing-aids in terms of speech intelligibility in challenging listening scenarios remain limited. The present study investigated if phoneme-in-noise discrimination training improves phoneme identification and sentence intelligibility in noise in hearing-aid users.
Design
Two groups of participants received either a two-week training program or a control intervention. Three phoneme categories were trained: onset consonants (C1), vowels (V) and post-vowel consonants (C2) in C1-V-C2-/i/ logatomes from the Danish nonsense word corpus (DANOK). Phoneme identification test and hearing in noise test (HINT) were administered before and after the respective interventions and, for the training group only, after three months.
Study sample
Twenty 63-to-79 years old individuals with a mild-to-moderate sensorineural hearing loss and at least one year of experience using hearing-aids.
Results
The training provided an improvement in phoneme identification scores for vowels and post-vowel consonants, which was retained over three months. No significant performance improvement in HINT was found.
Conclusion
The study demonstrates that the training induced a robust refinement of auditory perception at a phoneme level but provides no evidence for the generalisation to an untrained sentence intelligibility task.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2022.2135032

Implants cochléaires ; Personnes handicapées ; Perte d'auditionRésumé : Objective
To date, auditory rehabilitation mainly focuses on the person with hearing impairment (PHI). This study aimed to analyse the burden of hearing loss on significant others (SOs), and to explore the impact of contextual and mediating psychosocial co-factors and auditory rehabilitation by cochlear implantation (CI).
Design and study sample
Third-party disability (SOS-HEAR) and quality of life (Nijmegen Cochlear Implant Questionnaire) were evaluated in 41 PHI scheduled for CI surgery and their close partners pre- and 6-month post-implantation. Further, age, hearing status, educational level, depressive symptoms (GDS-15), coping strategies (Brief-COPE), resilience (RS-13), stress (PSQ) of SOs and PHI were studied.
Results
Hearing loss imposes a burden on SOs, particularly in relation to changes in communication and socialisation. Third-party disability was higher in SOs of PHI with lower educational background (p = 0.04) and of advanced age (p = 0.008). Hearing status of SOs negatively correlated with SOS-HEAR (p = 0.04). After CI, quality of life of PHI and third-party disability of SOs improved (p Conclusion
Audiological rehabilitation should expand to include SOs in the rehabilitation process, as the burden experienced by SOs might persist even after CI.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2022.2125913

Attention ; Comportement ; Intelligibilité de la parole ; Mémoire à court terme ; Perception de la paroleRésumé : Objective
Working memory refers to a cognitive system that holds a limited amount of information in a temporarily heightened state of availability, for use in ongoing cognitive tasks. Research suggests a link between working memory and speech recognition. In this study, we investigated this relationship using two working memory tests that differed in regard to the operationalisation of the link between working memory and attention: the auditory visual divided attention test (AVDAT) and the widely used reading span test.
Design
The relationship between speech-in-noise recognition and working memory was examined for two different working memory tests that varied in methodological and theoretical aspects, using a within-subject design.
Study sample
Nineteen hearing-impaired older listeners participated.
Results
We found a strong link between the reading span test and speech-in-noise recognition and a less robust link between the AVDAT and speech-in-noise recognition. There was evidence for the role of selective attention in speech-in-noise recognition, shown via the new AVDAT measure.
Conclusion
Our findings suggest that the strength of the relationship between speech-in-noise recognition and working memory may be influenced by the match between the demands and the stimuli of the speech-in-noise task and those of the working memory test.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2022.2128445

Enfant (6-12 ans) ; Fréquence de résonance ; Impédancemétrie ; Oreille moyenne ; OuïeRésumé : Objective
This study established a normative range of resonance frequency (RF) values as estimated using Wideband Tympanometry (WBT) and determined the ability of WBT-estimated RF to predict the presence of middle ear dysfunction in school-aged children.
Design
Cross-sectional data were collected using a hearing screening test battery consisting of WBT, Pure Tone Screening (PTS), 226- kHz tympanometry, and ipsilateral Acoustic Stapedial Reflexes (ASR).
Study sample
About 1590 children aged 413 years.
Results
RF significantly decreased from 4 to 13 years of age (46 years, 928.95 kHz; 79 years, 872.80 kHz; 1013 years, 863.68 kHz). RF had area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AROC) values between 0.589 and 0.626 to predict ears that failed PTS or 226- kHz tympanometry. RF below 627 kHz accurately predicted the presence of a Type B tympanogram (AROC 0.945). RF had high test-retest reliability with Intra-Class Coefficient value of 0.817 and good agreement according to Bland-Altman plot analysis.
Conclusions
WBT-estimated RF had fair diagnostic accuracy for predicting PTS and tympanometry results, but had excellent accuracy for predicting the presence of middle ear dysfunction, indicated by a Type B tympanogram. WBT-estimated RF does not require age-, gender-, ear- or ethnicity-specific normative data for clinical use with children.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.tandfonlin.com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2022.2135033

Adulte ; Aides auditives ; Enquêtes et questionnaires ; Perte d'auditionRésumé : Objective
Individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing (DHH) may find adherence to their hearing devices difficult due to internal experiences related to their hearing loss such as sadness or frustration. The Acceptance and Action Questionnaire-Adult Hearing Loss (AAQ-AHL) is the only measure available to assess psychological inflexibility as it relates to hearing loss. The purpose of this study was to confirm the single latent structure of the AAQ-AHL (through confirmatory factory analysis) and test convergent and discriminant validity.
Design
Cross-sectional data was used to further validate the AAQ-AHL.
Study sample
Participants were 146 adults who had diagnosed hearing loss and used a hearing aid.
Results
Results revealed the AAQ-AHL has a single latent structure, correlated to other similar constructs (psychological flexibility and hearing aid efficacy), and not correlated to unrelated constructs (hearing loss severity). These results suggest that the AAQ-AHL is a valid instrument to assess psychological flexibility as it relates to hearing aid use.
Conclusion
Together, the findings imply the AAQ-AHL has strong psychometric properties and justification to use in a clinical setting.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=

This study reviewed the outcomes of universal newborn hearing screening (UNHS) and ongoing hearing monitoring in children following recovery from neonatal bacterial meningitis to determine (a) whether screening may be a suitable alternative to diagnostic audiology for detecting permanent childhood hearing loss (PCHL) and (b) whether infants who pass UNHS should be monitored throughout childhood.
Design
Retrospective analysis of a UNHS database.
Study sample
Data were extracted from the state-wide UNHS database for all children born in Queensland Australia between 1 September 2004 and 30 June 2020 with the risk factor of bacterial meningitis (in isolation or in combination with other risk factors) identified at the time of the UNHS. This cohort included 231 children.
Results
Results showed that all post-meningitic infants diagnosed with PCHL had a refer result on the UNHS or were medically excluded from screening. Additionally, no cases of PCHL were identified through the targeted surveillance program following a pass result on UNHS.
Conclusions
UNHS may be sufficient to detect PCHL in post-meningitic neonates and routine audiological monitoring may not be required for children who pass the screen.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2022.2145514

This study aimed to describe the tinnitus severity in patients with chronic otitis media (COM) and describe the sociodemographic and clinical variables associated with tinnitus severity.
Design
Cross-sectional study. Two otology-referral centers in Bogotá (Colombia) were included. Sociodemographic, clinical associated factors and quality of life questionnaires were applied. Otoscopic evaluation and audiometric data were collected.
Study sample
About 231 adults with COM.
Results
Up to 51.5% of the patients reported severe tinnitus discomfort, 21.7% moderate discomfort, and 26.8% minor discomfort. Factor associated with increased tinnitus severity in patients with COM were older age (aOR: 1.02; 95% CI: 1.011.05), higher education (aOR: 2.24; 95% CI: 1.034.87), ear discharge during childhood (aOR: 1.88; 95% CI: 1.023.45), cholesteatoma in one ear (aOR: 2.26; 95% CI: 1.054.88), and pure-tone air average over 15 dB (aOR: 2.08; 95% CI: 1.283.36). Differences of 10-points in symptoms severity and 15-points in the total score of the Chronic Suppurative Otitis Media Questionnaire-12 were found between the tinnitus severity groups.
Conclusions
Our results highlight the need for further research on the associated factors of tinnitus severity on COM patients.

Acuité temporelle auditive ; Enfant (6-12 ans) ; Troubles de la perception auditiveMots-clés: Asymétries hémisphériques Résumé : Objective
We investigated auditory temporal processing in children with amblyaudia (AMB), a subtype of auditory processing disorder (APD), via cortical neural entrainment.
Design and study samples
Evoked responses were recorded to click-trains at slow vs. fast (8.5 vs. 14.9/s) rates in n = 14 children with AMB and n = 11 age-matched controls. Source and timefrequency analyses (TFA) decomposed EEGs into oscillations (reflecting neural entrainment) stemming from bilateral auditory cortex.
Results
Phase-locking strength in AMB depended critically on the speed of auditory stimuli. In contrast to age-matched peers, AMB responses were largely insensitive to rate manipulations. This rate resistance occurred regardless of the ear of presentation and in both cortical hemispheres.
Conclusions
Children with AMB show less rate-related changes in auditory cortical entrainment. In addition to reduced capacity to integrate information between the ears, we identify more rigid tagging of external auditory stimuli. Our neurophysiological findings may account for domain-general temporal processing deficits commonly observed in AMB and related APDs behaviourally. More broadly, our findings may inform communication strategies and future rehabilitation programmes; increasing the rate of stimuli above a normal (slow) speech rate is likely to make stimulus processing more challenging for individuals with AMB/APD.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2022.2094289

Audiométrie ; Ecouteur (audiologie)Mots-clés: placement de l'utilisateur Résumé : Objective
User-operated audiometry faces multiple barriers. One of these is the concern of audiologists that patients (non-experts) placing headphones by themselves results in invalid hearing thresholds due to greater placement variability.
Design
Comparative study. Participants took the AMTAS pure-tone air-conduction audiometry under two different conditions, expert and non-expert circumaural headphone placement for five frequencies within the range 2508000 Hz. Questionnaires were also used to gain insight into the usability of the user-operated audiometry system as well as the participants perceived handling of the audiometry headphones.
Study sample
Thirty participants (mean age 67.5 years).
Results
No statistically significant mean differences in hearing thresholds between the expert and non-expert conditions were found. The mean system usability scale score was 84.5. Handling the headphones was also rated as being easy (30%) or very easy (60%) by most non-experts.
Conclusion
The conclusion of the study is that non-experts can be trusted to properly equip a pair of circumaural audiometry headphones for the correct conduction of pure-tone audiometry with only a few digital instructions.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2022.2106903

Émotions ; Implants cochléaires ; Perception auditiveRésumé : Objective
In daily life, failure to perceive emotional expressions can result in maladjusted behaviour. For cochlear implant users, perceiving emotional cues in sounds remains challenging, and the factors explaining the variability in patients' sensitivity to emotions are currently poorly understood. Understanding how these factors relate to auditory proficiency is a major challenge of cochlear implant research and is critical in addressing patients' limitations.
Design
To fill this gap, we evaluated different auditory perception aspects in implant users (pitch discrimination, music processing and speech intelligibility) and correlated them to their performance in an emotion recognition task.
Study sample
Eighty-four adults (1876 years old) participated in our investigation; 42 cochlear implant users and 42 controls. Cochlear implant users performed worse than their controls on all tasks, and emotion perception abilities were correlated to their age and their clinical outcome as measured in the speech intelligibility task.
Results
As previously observed, emotion perception abilities declined with age (here by about 23% in a decade). Interestingly, even when emotional stimuli were musical, CI users skills relied more on processes underlying speech intelligibility.
Conclusions
These results suggest that speech processing remains a clinical priority even when one is interested in affective skills.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2022.2111611

This study aimed to analyse outcomes with hearing aid (HA) use and to determine whether common audiological tests, including pure-tone audiometry or word recognition test, correlate with HA wearers subjective benefit.
Design
A retrospective chart review.
Study sample
A total of 129 patients who adopted new HAs between January 2011 and December 2018 were enrolled. Outcome measures including pure tone thresholds, word recognition score (WRS), and self-reported questionnaires were obtained 1, 4, and 12 months post fit.
Results
The mean aided threshold and WRS at each post-fit visit significantly improved from the unaided condition. Self-reported outcomes confirmed by the Hearing Handicap Inventory for the Elderly (HHIE) scores significantly improved compared to the unaided condition at 1- and 4-month follow-up. Results of the regression analysis indicated that the aided WRS score is a significant factor at all post-fit visits that explains less than 10% of the variance in HHIE scores.
Conclusions
Aided WRS is the factor most associated with subjectively reported HA outcomes, both in the short- and long term. Therefore, aided WRS should be considered as a useful tool for evaluating HA benefits, even after the prolonged use of HAs.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2022.2106451

Despite previous research into the psychosocial impact of hearing loss, little detail is known regarding the hearing and hearing-aid-related emotional states experienced by adults with hearing loss in everyday life, and how they occur.
Design
Individual remote semi-structured interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim and qualitatively analysed with reflexive and inductive thematic analysis.
Study sample
Seventeen participants (9 female) with hearing loss (age range 4474 years) participated. Ten used bilateral hearing aids, four unilateral and three used no hearing aids at the time of interviews.
Results
The four main themes which emerged from the data were: identity and self-image, autonomy and control, personality and dominant emotional states and situational cost/benefit analysis with respect to use of hearing aids.
Conclusions
This study goes beyond previous literature by providing a more detailed insight into emotions related to hearing and hearing-aids in adults. Hearing loss causes a multitude of negative emotions, while hearing aids generally reduce negative emotions and allow for more positive emotions. However, factors such as lifestyle, personality, situational control, the relationship with those in conversation and the attribution of blame are key to individual emotional experience. Clinical implications include the important role of social relationships in assessment and counselling.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2022.2111373

Évaluation préopératoire ; Implants cochléaires ; Perte d'audition ; Sélection de patientsRésumé : Objectives
We examined which preoperative diagnostic measure is most suited to serve as a selection criterion to determine adult cochlear implantation (CI) candidacy.
Design
Preoperative diagnostic measures included pure tone audiometry (PTA; 0.5, 1, 2, 4 kHz), speech perception tests (SPT) unaided with headphones and with best-aided hearing aids (in quiet and in noise). Gain in speech perception was used as outcome measure. Performance of preoperative measures was analysed using the area under the curve (AUC) of receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves.
Study sample
This retrospective longitudinal cohort study included 552 post-lingually deafened adults with CI in a tertiary referral centre in the Netherlands.
Results
Best-aided SPT in quiet was the most accurate in defining which CI candidates improved their speech perception in quiet postoperatively. For an improvement in speech perception in noise, the best-aided SPT in noise was the most accurate in defining which adult would benefit from CI. PTA measures performed lower compared to the SPT measures.
Conclusions
SPT is better than PTA for selecting CI candidates who will benefit in terms of speech perception. Best-aided SPT in noise was the most accurate for indicating an improvement of speech perception in noise but was only evaluated in high performers with residual hearing. These insights will assist in formulating more effective selection criteria for CI.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2022.2106453

We sought to validate our proposed tool for estimating channel discrimination of cochlear implant (CI) users along the full electrode array and to assess associations between place-pitch discrimination and speech perception.
Design
In two tests, participants identified one stimulus (probe) as the odd-one-out compared with two reference stimuli. Probe stimuli were evoked using dual electrode stimulation characterised by the current steering coefficient α. The first test measured psychometric functions (PFs) on pre-defined contacts, with just a noticeable difference (JNDα) as the outcome variable. The second test estimated channel discrimination on the full electrode array, yielding a discrimination score of Dα. We measured speech perception as free-field consonant-vowel-consonant phoneme recognition scores.
Study sample
We included 25 adults with at least 6 months of CI experience.
Results
JNDα and Dα scores measured on the same contact correlated significantly (rs = 0.64, p
Conclusions
Dα correlated strongly with JNDα scores obtained with the PFs. For poor performers, the full-array test may underestimate JNDα. The full-array pitch discrimination test could be a helpful clinical tool, such as for fitting regions of lesser pitch discrimination ability.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2022.2101028

Systeme auditif peripheriqueRésumé : Objective
To investigate the implications of Parkinsons disease (PD) in the peripheral auditory system, a systematic survey of the scientific literature was conducted.
Design
Systematic review.
Study sample
An electronic search of the non-gray literature in the last decade was conducted using the digital databases MEDLINE® (PubMed interface), LILACS® (Virtual Health Library), Web of Science® (CAPES publications portal), and SciELO®. Studies addressing peripheral auditory function as part of the range of nonmotor PD symptoms were selected for analysis.
Results
Pure tone audiometry data suggested that sensorineural hearing loss was more severe in the PD population than in the control groups. The effects of PD on cochlear function were evidenced by a decrease in the levels of otoacoustic emissions.
Conclusions
Sensorineural hearing loss and cochlear impairment are more severe in the PD population than in the control groups. Additional studies are recommended to further understand the characteristics of the peripheral auditory system in PD patients, which constitutes an emerging subject in the scientific literature.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2022.2109073

Acouphène ; COVID-19 ; Prise en charge ; VaccinationRésumé : Objective
To investigate the effects of COVID-19 on individuals with tinnitus and their views to guide future tinnitus care.
Design
A mixed-methods cross-sectional research design.
Study sample
An online survey was completed by 365 individuals with tinnitus from Australia and other countries.
Results
Tinnitus was reported to be more bothersome during the pandemic by 36% of respondents, whereas 59% reported no change and 5% reported less bothersome tinnitus. Nearly half of the respondents had received COVID-19 vaccination(s) and 12% of them reported more bothersome tinnitus while 2% developed tinnitus post-vaccination. Australian respondents spent less time in self-isolation or quarantine and saw fewer change in in-person social contact than respondents from other countries. More than 70% of respondents thought that tinnitus care services were insufficient both before and during the pandemic. Regarding their opinions on how to improve tinnitus care in the future, five themes including alleviation of condition, government policies, reduced barriers, self- and public-awareness, and hearing devices were identified.
Conclusions
A majority of respondents did not perceive any change in tinnitus perception and one-third of respondents had worsened tinnitus during the pandemic. To improve tinnitus care, better awareness and more accessible resources and management are crucial.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2022.2104175

Acouphène ; Enquêtes et questionnaires ; Hyperacousie ; Psychométrie ; Vie quotidienneRésumé : Objective
To evaluate the psychometric properties of the Tinnitus Impact Questionnaire (TIQ), whose questions focus on assessing the impact of tinnitus on the patients day to day activities, mood, and sleep, and not on hearing difficulties.
Design
This was a retrospective cross-sectional study.
Study sample
Data were included for 172 adult patients who attended a tinnitus and hyperacusis clinic in the UK within a six-month period and who had completed the TIQ.
Results
Two items whose scores were very highly correlated with those for other items were removed, leaving seven items. Exploratory factor analysis suggested a single factor for the TIQ. A multiple causes multiple indicator model showed significant but very small direct effects of age on TIQ scores for two items, after adjustment for gender. The TIQ had excellent internal consistency, with Cronbachs alpha = 0.89. The total TIQ score was moderately to strongly correlated with scores for the Tinnitus Handicap Inventory, Screening for Anxiety and Depression-Tinnitus questionnaire, Hyperacusis Questionnaire, and Hyperacusis Impact Questionnaire, indicating convergent validity. The TIQ score was weakly correlated with the pure-tone average hearing threshold, indicating discriminant validity.
Conclusions
The TIQ is a brief, valid and internally consistent questionnaire for assessing the impact of tinnitus.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2022.2101027

Audiologie pédiatrique ; Effet de l'amplification ; Enfant sourd ; Etiologie ; Niveau socio-économiqueRésumé : Background
This study concerns deaf children under six years in the South African HI HOPES Cohort.
Objective
To examine their audiological profile, aetiological risk factors for infant hearing loss as well as the relationship between identification, amplification and socio-economic influences.
Design
Using a cohort design, secondary data analysis of a pre-existing dataset demonstrated adequate representation of South African demographic characteristics.
Study sample
A total of 532 deaf and hard-of-hearing infants enrolled in the HI HOPES early intervention programme in three provinces (20062011).
Results
The median age of identification of children with bilateral hearing loss (n = 502) was 24.0 months (IQR = 1236 months). Infants with aetiological risk factors were identified later than those without risk factors, and the latest age of identification (28.5 months) was for those with three aetiological risk factors (n = 42). The median age of amplification was 32 months with 102 children eligible for amplification at 31.1 months still unamplified. Early identification did not imply early amplification, and the more economically advantaged a Province the smaller the gap between ages of identification and amplification.
Conclusions
In a field with little population-level evidence, the size, and representativeness of this dataset makes a significant contribution to our understanding of infant hearing loss in South Africa.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2022.2101551

FiabilitéRésumé : Objective
The aim was to establish the reliability and the validity of Arabic translated versions of the Fatigue Assessment Scale (FAS) and the Effort Assessment Scale (EAS).
Design
The FAS and the EAS were translated from the original English following a recommended six-step approach for translating hearing-related questionnaires for different languages. The reliability of the scales was investigated using Cronbachs alpha, item-total correlation, and inter-item correlation. Construct validity was investigated using factor analysis and the hypothesis testing method.
Study sample
The translated scales were completed by 146 participants from Jordan and Saudi Arabia (age range 1986 years old, 39% male). Participants hearing level ranged from normal to profound.
Results
Item 3 in the translated FAS was removed to improve the scales construct validity. The translated version of the EAS was found to be as reliable and valid as the original EAS.
Conclusions
The availability of standardised versions of the FAS and the EAS provides a quick and easy method for improving hearing rehabilitation in Arabic-speaking countries where audiology services can often be costly and not necessarily accessible to all individuals.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2022.2085195

This study aimed to identify the attitudes to noise in young adults and the possible effects of gender, age, and a positive history of auditory symptoms related to recreational noise exposure on the attitudes to noise in this population.
Design
The Youth Attitude to Noise (YANS) and the hearing symptom description (HSD) scales were adapted into Spanish to be used with young adults. The validity was determined using factor analyses and Item Response Theory (IRT) models. Linear regression models were used to determine whether the YANS scores were associated with gender, age, and auditory symptoms.
Study sample
Both instruments were given to a sample of 728 Chilean young adults. Data obtained from this sample was used to determine the YANS and HSD scales' validity and to assess the effects of gender, age, and auditory symptoms on attitudes.
Results
Our results showed that the YANS and HSD scales had adequate validity and reliability. Differences in the items' capacity to discriminate attitudes to noise were noted using the IRT model. Auditory symptoms were significantly associated with the YANS scores.
Conclusions
The attitudes to noise in Chilean young adults are influenced by self-perception of auditory symptoms, age, and gender.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2022.2089925

Groupe de communicationMots-clés: conversation en tête-à-tête Résumé : Objective
The concept of conversation success is undefined, although prior work has variously related it to accurate exchange of information, alignment between interlocutors, and good management of misunderstandings. This study aimed (1) to identify factors of conversation success and (2) to explore the importance of these factors in one-to-one versus group conversations.
Design
Group concept mapping method was applied. Participants responded to two brainstorming prompts (What does successful conversation look like? and Think about a successful conversation you have taken part in. What aspects of that conversation contributed to its success?). The resulting statements were sorted into related clusters and rated in importance for one-to-one and group conversation.
Study Sample
Thirty-five adults with normal and impaired hearing.
Results
Seven clusters were identified: (1) Being able to listen easily; (2) Being spoken to in a helpful way; (3) Being engaged and accepted; (4) Sharing information as desired; (5) Perceiving flowing and balanced interaction; (6) Feeling positive emotions; (7) Not having to engage coping mechanisms. Three clusters (1, 2, and 4) were more important in group than in one-to-one conversation. There were no differences by hearing group.
Conclusions
These findings emphasise that conversation success is a multifaceted concept.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2022.2095538

Aides auditives ; Communication ; Mesures des résultats rapportés par les patients (PROM) ; Satisfaction des patients ; Social ; Surdité neurosensorielle (SNHL) ; TravailleurRésumé : Objective
To study patient-reported hearing aid (HA) rehabilitation outcomes, social-communicative functioning, and expectations/experiences during eight months of HA use.
Design
Three self-reporting instruments, the International Outcome Inventory for Hearing Aids (IOI-HA), the Quantified Denver Scale of Communicative Function (QDS), and questionnaires tapping pre-rehabilitation expectations (HA-EXP-Q1) and post-rehabilitation experiences (HA-EXP-Q2) were administered.
Study sample
144 patients ages 2366 with gradually acquired, adult-onset, mild-to-moderate sensorineural hearing loss affecting both ears who acquired their first HAs.
Results
According to self-reports, HA rehabilitation outcomes were good, and everyday social-communicative functioning improved after one month and after eight months of HA use. When the effects from demographic and audiological variables were analysed, younger age and positive expectations of HAs were associated with better outcomes and social-communicative functioning. The form or hearing loss severity, and the type or number of HAs did not affect outcomes.
Conclusion
Working-age HA users reported better HA outcomes than older adults in previous studies. Coping in work life may be a strong motivator for active HA use. Considering that younger age and positive expectations resulted in better outcomes, early rehabilitation that supports positive and realistic expectations of HA performance is essential.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2022.2106454

Déficience auditive liée à l'âge (ARHL) ; Emissions oto-acoustiques à produit de distorsion (DPOAE) ; Perte d'audition ; Surdité due au bruitRésumé : Objective
This study aimed to identify the characteristics of distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs) that can be used to differentiate noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) from age-related hearing loss. A potential index to detect NIHL was defined in terms of its susceptibility to cumulative noise exposure but not to age.
Design
In this cross-sectional cohort study, a job-exposure matrix was used to calculate the cumulative noise exposure. Multivariate linear regression models were used to examine how age and cumulative noise exposure associated with DPOAEs at individual frequencies after adjusting for hypertension, dyslipidaemia, tobacco use and alcohol consumption.
Study sample
The pure-tone audiometry and DPOAEs data collected from 239 male workers in a steel factory.
Results
DPOAEs and DPOAE signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) at all frequencies were found to be correlated with age, and those at 2, 3, 4 and 6 kHz were correlated with both age and noise exposure. The difference between DPOAE SNR at 1 and 3 kHz showed significant correlation with noise exposure but not with age.
Conclusions
The results showed that this DPOAE index, the DPOAE SNR at 1 kHz minus the DPOAE SNR at 3 kHz, could add values to audiometric evaluation of NIHL.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2022.2106450

AsymetrieRésumé : Objective
To explore a side of lesion differences in Menieres disease (MD).
Design
A retrospective review (20192021) was conducted of patients with definite MD, as defined by 2015 Bárány Society diagnostic criteria. Testing information included pure tone audiometry, tympanometry, and extra-tympanic electrocochleography (ECochG). Normative ECochG data from healthy subjects determined the 95% cut-off value for clinical abnormality.
Study sample
107 patients with definite MD were included in the study and 40 healthy controls.
Results
The review identified 75 patients with unilateral MD and 32 patients with bilateral MD according to their clinical histories. 79% of unilateral cases were found to have MD on the L ear. 94% of bilateral MD cases had L ears more affected than R ears. Objective ECochG testing indicated a greater incidence of elevated SP/AP area curve and amplitude ratios in L ears. On binomial testing, all results indicate a highly significant bias of MD to the L side.
Conclusions
Unilateral MD appears more common on the L side than the R, suggesting that the disease process underlying MD is not symmetrical. MD also appears more common in females than males. It appears that there is a physiological asymmetry in the progression/cause of MD.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2022.2120553

There is mounting evidence for implementing family-centred care (FCC) in adult audiology services, however FCC is not typically observed in adult clinical practice. This study implemented an intervention to increase family member attendance and involvement within adult audiology appointments.
Design
The study involved a mixed method design over three key phases: Standard Care, Intervention I (increasing family member attendance), and Intervention II (increasing family member involvement).
Study Sample
Staff from four private audiology clinics within one organisation participated in the intervention. Data was collected from different clients in each phase (n = 27 Standard Care, n = 30 Intervention I, and n = 23 Intervention II).
Results
Family member attendance increased from 26% of appointments in Standard Care to 40% at Intervention I, and 48% at Intervention II. Family member involvement also showed improvement on some measures (video analysis) although talk time did not significantly increase. Significant improvements in client satisfaction with services were found (Net Promoter Score and Measure of Processes of Care).
Conclusion
The implementation of FCC in audiology clinics needs to be an ongoing, whole-of-clinic approach, including staff in all roles. Increasing family member attendance at adult audiology appointments can lead to benefits to client satisfaction with services.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2022.2095536

Bruit ; Calme ; Jeune enfant ; Perception de la paroleRésumé : Objective
The aim of this study was to develop an open-set word recognition task in speech-weighted noise and in quiet for young children and examine age effects for open versus closed response formats.
Design
Dutch monosyllabic words were presented in quiet and in stationary speech-weighted noise to 4- and 5-year-old children as well as to young adults in an open-set response format. Additionally, performance in open and closed context was assessed, as well as in a picture-pointing paradigm
Study sample:
More than 200 children and 50 adults with normal hearing participated in the various validation phases.
Results
Average fitted speech reception thresholds (50%) yielded an age effect between 4-year and 5-year olds (and adults), both in speech-weighted noise and in quiet. The closed-set format yielded lower (better) SNRs than the open-set format, and children benefitted to the same extent as adults from phonetically similar words in speech-weighted noise. Additionally, the 4 AFC picture-pointing paradigm can be used to assess word recognition in quiet from 3 years of age.
Conclusions
The same materials reveal performance differences between 4 and 5 years of age (and adults), both in quiet and speech-weighted noise using an open-set response format. This relatively small yet significant difference in SRT for a gap of only 1 year shows a developmental change for word recognition in speech-weighted noise and in quiet in the first decade of life.

Create a language-independent, ecologically valid auditory processing assessment and evaluate relative stimuli intelligibility in native and non-native English speakers.
Design
The Language-Independent Speech in Noise and Reverberation Test (LISiNaR) targets comprised consonant-vowel (CVCV) pseudo-words. Distractors comprised CVCVCVCV pseudo-words. Stimuli were presented over headphones using an iPad either face-to-face or remotely. Scoring occurred adaptively to establish a participants speech reception threshold in noise (SRT). The listening environment was simulated using reverberant and anechoic head-related transfer functions. In four test conditions, targets originated from 0°. Distractors originated from either ±90°, ±67.5° and ±45° (spatially separated) or 0° azimuth (co-located). Reverberation impact (RI) was calculated as the difference in SRTs between the anechoic and reverberant conditions and spatial advantage (SA) as the difference between the spatially separated and co-located conditions.
Study sample
Young adult native speakers of Australian (n = 24) and Canadian (25) and non-native English speakers (34).
Results
No significant effects of language occurred for the test conditions, RI or SA. A small but significant effect of delivery mode occurred for RI. Reverberation impacted SRT by 5 dB relative to anechoic conditions.
Conclusion
Performance on LISiNaR is not affected by the native language or accent of groups tested in this study.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2022.2078432

Aides auditives ; COVID-19 ; Satisfaction des patients ; Télé-audiologieRésumé : Objective
During the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, many patients cancelled their scheduled hearing aid renewal. We offered to send them new hearing aids programmed according to the audiometric data on file. In this study we compared remote hearing aid renewal to a conventional renewal with a recent audiogram based on scores from the International Outcome Inventory for Hearing Aids (IOI-HA) questionnaire. We also examined the need for a physical visit for hearing aid adjustment in the remote group and analysed the accuracy of the pre-existing audiogram correction method using data from the control group.
Design
Retrospective chart review.
Study sample
51 patients who underwent remote hearing aid renewal and 22 control patients who received office-based hearing aid renewal.
Results
IOI-HA scores were lower in the remote fitted group, but comparison with data from a Swedish nationwide database had no clinically significant differences. A follow-up physical appointment was required in only 20% of the remote group. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) between the pure tone averages of the corrected former audiogram and measured audiogram was high.

Audition dans le bruit ; Evaluation auditive ; Intelligibilité de la parole ; PsychoacoustiqueRésumé : Objective
Speech-in-noise testing is a valuable part of audiological test batteries. Test standardisation using precise methods is desirable for ease of administration. This study investigated the accuracy and reliability of different Bayesian and non-Bayesian adaptive procedures and analysis methods for conducting speech-in-noise testing.
Design
Matrix sentence tests using different numbers of sentences (10, 20, 30 and 50) and target intelligibilities (50 and 75%) were simulated for modelled listeners with various characteristics. The accuracy and reliability of seven different measurement procedures and three different data analysis methods were assessed.
Results
The estimation of 50% intelligibility was accurate and showed excellent reliability across the majority of methods tested, even with relatively few stimuli. Estimating 75% intelligibility resulted in decreased accuracy. For this target, more stimuli were required for sufficient accuracy and selected Bayesian procedures surpassed the performance of others. Some Bayesian procedures were also superior in the estimation of psychometric function width.
Conclusions
A single standardised procedure could improve the consistency of the matrix sentence test across a range of target intelligibilities. Candidate adaptive procedures and analysis methods are discussed. These could also be applicable for other speech materials. Further testing with human participants is required.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2022.2087112

Sujet âgé ; Troubles de l'audition ; Troubles de la cognitionRésumé : Objective
To investigate whether cognitive impairment precedes self-reported poor hearing in adults aged 50 and older over a 14-year period.
Design
Biennial longitudinal study.
Study sample
The data came from the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing carried out in England between 2002 and 2016, with 11,391 individuals aged 50 years and older. For this study, ELSA participants who had a positive perception of hearing at the beginning of the analysis in 2002 (n = 8,895) were eligible. The dependent variable was self-reported poor hearing, and the exposure measure was cognitive impairment. The analyses were performed using Generalised Estimation Equations and adjusted for gender, age, educational level, household wealth, smoking, alcohol consumption, depressive symptoms, ADL/IADL disability, physical activity level, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.
Results
The results showed 33% increased odds of self-reported poor hearing in individuals with cognitive impairment. In the fully adjusted model, individuals who presented cognitive impairment in the previous wave had, over time, 10% increased odds (95% CI: 1.02; 1.19) of presenting self-reported poor hearing.
Conclusions
The exposure to cognitive impairment was associated with a subsequent self-reported poor hearing. These data represent important tools for improving cognitive and hearing impairment diagnosis and treatment.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2022.2089740

Deficience auditive hereditaireRésumé : Objective
To evaluate 1) the outcomes of a local universal newborn hearing screening (UNHS) programme and its audiological follow-ups at 3- and 6-month points, 2) the education outcomes of children with congenital hearing loss (CHL).
Design
Retrospective study that analysed data containing hearing screening, diagnosis, intervention and schooling information from electronic databases.
Study sample
Children aged 5 to 15 years old who were born between 20042014 and underwent UNHS in a local hospital.
Results
Over a 10-year cohort, 99.4% of 29,972 newborns underwent UNHS; approximately 90% of them were screened by 1 month of age. However, only 10% of the cohort strictly fulfilled the 1-3-6 criteria recommended by the Joint Committee on Infant Hearing. Lost to follow-up (LTF) rate was highest at post-diagnosis (35%). 80% of infants who were intervened between 6 and 48 months of age went to mainstream schools. The remaining 20% had additional disabilities or family factors.
Conclusions
A high UNHS coverage rate may not translate to meeting the 1-3-6 criteria. Despite ease of access to our healthcare system, LTF at post-diagnosis remained high. In the absence of additional disabilities or family factors, infants intervened during the sensitive window could still potentially make it into mainstream schools.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2022.2095537

osmolalitéRésumé : This study investigated the role of serum osmolality in Menieres disease (MD) patients with acute sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL).
Design
Retrospective study.
Study samples
Twenty definite MD patients with acute unilateral SNHL were treated with an osmotic diuretic (Isosorbide, 100 mL daily) and assigned to Group A. Another 20 age- and sex-matched definite MD patients with acute SNHL were not given Isosorbide and assigned to Group B. Both groups underwent audiometry and blood examination for serum osmolality before and after treatment.
Results
Group A revealed a significant increase in serum osmolality after treatment. The optimal cut-off values for increased serum osmolality in Group A were +1.5 mOSM/L for predicting hearing improvement at frequencies of 2501000 Hz, and +2.5 mOSM/L at 20004000 Hz. Comparing increased levels of serum osmolality (> +2.0 vs. ≤ +2.0 mOSM/L), Isosorbide dosing at 3.0 L vs. 1.0 L, significantly differed in the odds ratio (OR). Isosorbide at a total dosage of 3.0 L thus improves the hearing threshold by >10 dB at frequencies of 2502000 Hz.
Conclusion
The Isosorbide at a total dosage of 3.0 L may increase serum osmolality by > +2.0 mOSM/L, and improve the hearing threshold for hydropic ears at least >10 dB at low- and mid-frequencies.Disponible en ligne : Non En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2022.2075799

Audiométrie haute fréquence (EHF) ; Audiométrie tonale ; Identité de genre ; Sujet âgéRésumé : Objective
The objectives of this study were (1) to re-calculate hearing threshold levels (HTLs) for pure tones as described in an international standard, ISO 7029:2017, and (2) to explain the procedure of how HTLs in the standard had been derived.
Design
Pure-tone hearing threshold data used for developing ISO 7029:2017 and additional data sets were combined to re-estimate median HTLs and the distribution of individual HTLs around the median. The calculation was done for audiometric frequencies from 125 Hz to 8000 Hz and extended high frequencies from 9000 Hz to 12,500 Hz for ages from 18 to 80 years.
Study sample
Approximately 9000 men and 20,000 women employed in 15 studies in nine countries. They had been rigorously screened for hearing abnormalities.
Results
A new set of median HTLs and distribution around the median was obtained as a function of age for males and females separately and compared with the estimates in ISO 7029. The differences among these threshold values were discussed.
Conclusions
The calculation procedure described would help understand how the normative HTLs in ISO 7029:2017 had been obtained. Re-calculated HTLs could serve as a basis for the next edition of the standard that covers a wider range of population.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2022.2089741

Audiométrie tonale ; Exploitation minière ; Seuil auditif ; Surdité due au bruitRésumé : Objective
This study compared the pre-employment median hearing threshold level (HTL) distribution from a population of coal miners from New South Wales (NSW), Australia, to an otologically normal, age-matched population described by the International Standards Organisation (ISO) ISO 7029:2019, to determine any differences.
Design
This was an observational, retrospective, repeated cross-sectional study.
Study sample
De-identified audiometric records of 59,601 male employees entering NSW coal mining in three representative five-year periods between 1991 and 2015 were utilised.
Results
The median HTL deviation of the mining population was statistically significantly different (p
Conclusion
These findings indicate that some NSW coal mine workers commence their careers with evidence of pre-existing hearing loss (HL), in an industry with excessive noise exposures. These results provide Australian mining and other noisy industries with evidence to support a review of hearing conservation strategies to improve mitigation of hearing loss across the working lifespan.
IMPACT STATEMENT
The coal mining industry in Australia typically employs 20,00030,000 workers annually. These workers are potentially exposed to noise levels between 80 dB(A) and 120 dB(A) whilst at work, and thus at high risk of developing noise induced hearing loss (NIHL). NIHL is the most compensated, occupational disease for coal mining in Australia, costing the Australian State of New South Wales (NSW) up to $4 million each year. And yet: NIHL is entirely preventable.
This is the second of two studies of Australian coal mining, analysing a database containing de-identified mandatory audiometric testing results. Evidence of hearing loss within this population was determined in the first study, and the aim of this follow-up study was to determine if there were differences in the median hearing threshold levels in the mining population compared to an otologically normal, international population (ISO7029). The results indicate that the mining population HTLs for males are significantly different (worse) compared to an age and gender matched otologically normal population, specifically at 4 kHz for older workers. Evidence of age-related hearing loss was also found.
From a workplace perspective, employers need to consider appropriate workplace interventions to promote hearing loss prevention strategies across the workforce. This information can be used to inform future noise and hearing policies and procedures within this, as well as other noisy industries, to prevent and reduce further exposure of workers to excessive noise.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2022.2088625

Audiométrie ; Electrophysiologie auditive ; Épidémiologie ; Médiation ; Perception auditive ; Vieillissement du système auditifRésumé : Objective
Evaluate the conceptual framework that age effects on the electrophysiological binaural masking level difference (MLD) are partially mediated by age-related hearing loss and/or global cognitive function via mediation analysis.
Design
Participants underwent a series of audiometric tests. The MLD was measured via cortical auditory evoked potentials using a speech stimulus (/ɑ/) in speech-weighted background noise. We used mediation analyses to determine the total effect, natural direct effects, and natural indirect effects, which are displayed as regression coefficients ([95% CI]; p value).

Twenty-eight individuals aged 1987 years (mean [SD]: 53.3 [25.2]), recruited from the community.
Results
Older age had a significant total effect on the MLD (-0.69 [95% CI: −0.96, −0.45]; p

Vetéran de guerreRésumé : Objective
To examine associations between non-otologic medical conditions and auditory dysfunction.
Design
Cross-sectional analysis of baseline data from the Noise Outcomes in Service members Epidemiology (NOISE) study. Logistic regression was used to estimate the association between medical conditions (0, 1, and 2 or more conditions) and auditory dysfunction (hearing loss pure tone average ≥20 dB HL and tinnitus), adjusting for key confounders including noise exposure. Secondarily, the association between specific medical conditions and auditory dysfunction was examined. All variables were self-reported.
Study sample
United States military Veterans (n = 580) with mean age 34.1 years (standard deviation = 9.2), who were within approximately 2.5 years of separation from service.
Results
Compared to Veterans reporting no medical conditions, Veterans reporting two or more had increased odds on low-frequency hearing loss and on tinnitus but not on high or extended-high frequency hearing loss. Furthermore, specific conditions sleep disorder and arthritis were associated with auditory dysfunction.
Conclusions
Non-otologic medical conditions were associated with low-frequency hearing loss and tinnitus in this sample of young Veterans. This suggests medical conditions may play a role in Veterans hearing health. Whether management of medical conditions earlier in life reduces the risk of hearing loss and tinnitus requires further study.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2022.2068081

MandarinRésumé : Objective
To explore trajectories of receptive and expressive vocabulary in Mandarin-speaking children under the age of 4 years, fitted with cochlear implants (CIs).
Design
Vocabulary trajectories were measured at baseline, 3, 6, and 12 months after implantation using the Chinese version of the MacArthur-Bates Communicative Development Inventory.
Study sample
There were 216 children with CIs in West China Hospital who took part and were divided into three groups based on age at first CI.
Results
Receptive and expressive vocabulary scores of the younger implantation group were significantly different from the older groups at baseline. After 12 months of implant use, there were no significant differences between all groups. Furthermore receptive vocabulary trajectories for all children with CIs were not significantly different from those of children with normal hearing. However, expressive vocabulary trajectories were poorer when compared to children with normal hearing. Significant differences were seen between receptive and expressive vocabulary in all age groups.
Conclusions
This study suggests no differences in vocabulary trajectories in Mandarin-speaking children whether they received their first CI at 1, 2, or 3 years of age. It is important that clinicians convey realistic expectations about potential differences in receptive vs. expressive trajectories for Mandarin-speaking children fitted with CIs.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2022.2071769

The present study aimed to investigate the findings of cervical, ocular and masseter vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (cVEMP, oVEMP and mVEMP) among Multiple sclerosis (MS) and correlate with clinical and MRI findings.
Design
Standard group comparison research design
Study sample
Individuals with relapsing-remitting MS (n = 45) and age-sex-matched controls (n = 45) were the participants. All of them underwent case history, neurological examination, cVEMP, oVEMP and mVEMP testing. MRI was obtained only for MS participants.
Results
Abnormal result on at least one vestibular evoked myogenic potential (VEMP) sub-type was evidenced in 95.56% of participants whereas, unilateral or bilateral abnormal result on all three VEMP sub-types was observed in 60% of participants. The mVEMP abnormality was higher (82.22%) than cVEMP (75.56%) and oVEMP (75.56%) abnormalities but the differences were not significant (p > 0.05). There was no significant association of VEMP abnormalities with the presence of the brainstem symptoms, the brainstem signs, or the MRI lesions (p > 0.05). In the MS group, 38% had normal brainstem MRI; however, mVEMP, cVEMP and oVEMP abnormalities were evidenced in 82.4%, 64.7% and 52.94%, respectively.
Conclusions
Among the three VEMP sub-types, mVEMP appears to be of greater value in identifying silent brainstem dysfunction undetected by clinical and MRI findings in the MS population.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2022.2065548

Electrodes ; Implants cochléaires ; PARAMETRE ; Stimulation électriqueMots-clés: Réponses corticales évoquées électriquement Résumé : Objective
To investigate electrically evoked auditory cortical responses (eACR) elicited from the stimulation of intracochlear electrodes based on individually fitted stimulation parameters in cochlear implant (CI) users.
Design
An eACR setup based on individual fitting parameters is proposed. A 50-ms alternating biphasic pulse train was used to stimulate apical, medial, and basal electrodes and to evoke auditory cortical potentials (N1-P2 complex).
Study sample
The eACR setup proposed was validated with 14 adult CI users.
Results
Individual and grand-average eACR waveforms were obtained. The eACR amplitudes were lower in the basal than in the apical and medial regions. Earlier N1 latencies were found in CI users with lower maximum comfortable loudness levels and shorter phase duration in response to apical stimulation, while medial and basal stimulation resulted in earlier N1 latencies and larger N1-P2 amplitudes in users with longer CI experience.
Conclusions
eACR could be elicited by direct intracochlear stimulation using individual fitting parameters with a success rate of 71%. The highest cortical peak-to-peak amplitudes were obtained in response to apical stimulation. Unlike the P2, the N1 component appeared to be a consistent cortical potential to determine eACR and gain knowledge of the auditory processing beyond the cochlea in CI users.
Highlights
eACR can be elicited through direct stimulation of intracochlear electrodes.
Stimulation of apical and medial regions yielded the highest N1-P2 amplitudes.
CI users with lower maximum comfortable loudness levels had shorter N1 latencies during apical stimulation.
The present dataset of mainly well-performing CI users suggests better cortical processing, that is, higher amplitudes and shorter latencies of N1.
The N1 potential appears a more consistent and reliable potential than the P2 to determine eACR responses in CI users.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2022.2062578

Sixteen people with tinnitus who had attended a recent online tinnitus group and/or workshop were recruited using convenience sampling
Results
Three overarching themes were extrapolated from the data: feeling part of a community, being reliably informed, and living better with tinnitus.
Conclusions
Participants reported significant benefits from both types of online group. There was appreciation for the accessibility of help during lockdown, and participants felt that this type of support would continue to be valuable post-pandemic. As seen in research on face-to-face groups, benefits came from a supportive community of people with tinnitus and knowledgeable, skilled and trustworthy facilitation and information provision. Outcomes focussed on feeling less isolated, more informed and hopeful. Online groups could offer an accessible ongoing resource supporting people on their journey with tinnitus.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2022.2063195https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2022.2063195https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2022.2063195https://www.tand
Titre : We forget about peoples hearing loss: identifying key aspects of hearing aid and communication training in residential care homes (2023) Auteurs : Lynzee McShea, Auteur ; Melanie Ferguson, Auteur Type de document : Article Dans : International Journal of Audiology IJA (Vol. 62, n.7, Juillet 2023) Article en page(s) : p. 667-674 Note générale : https://doi-org.ezproxy.vinci.be/10.1080/14992027.2022.2056720 Langues: Anglais Descripteurs : HE Vinci
Aides auditives ; Communication ; Formation ; Maisons de repos ; Multimédia ; Travailleurs sociauxRésumé : Objectives
The first objective was to assess the feasibility of training on hearing aids and communication strategies by support workers in residential care via a cascade training model using two different training packages. The second was to identify key elements of these packages to inform the design of a multimedia training package.
Design
Quantitative and qualitative methodologies were used. A pre-post feasibility design assessed the questionnaire data from residential care support workers to measure knowledge and confidence at three stages during the training. Semi-structured interviews explored the support workers experiences and adherence to cascading the training packages.
Study sample
Fourteen support workers employed by Sense (charity for deafblind people) were trained to become Hearing Champions and cascaded their learning to 117 support colleagues.
Results
Hearing Champions gained knowledge, skills and confidence, which were subsequently enhanced by sharing their learning with others. Despite individual and organisational barriers, they reported examples of improved practice and feelings of empowerment.
Conclusions
It is feasible to deliver training to support workers in residential homes using the face-to-face Hearing Champions and multimedia C2Hear training methods by cascading training to their colleagues. Support workers expressed a preference for training that is portable, adaptable and interactive.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2022.2056720

Allaitement naturel ; Antirétroviraux ; Femmes enceintes ; Nourrisson ; Ototoxicité ; Surdité neurosensorielle (SNHL) ; VIH (Virus de l'Immunodéficience humaine)Résumé : Objective
There is evidence of ototoxicity from antiretrovirals (ARVs), and ARV therapy in pregnant/nursing mothers can expose offspring to these compounds. The current work modelled whether exposure to ARVs in utero and during nursing altered the functioning of the auditory system in offspring mice.
Design
The females of seven breeding pairs of C57BL6/J mice were given daily doses of ARVs lamivudine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate by oral gavage during gestation and nursing. Three breeder females were given equivalent volumes of water as controls. At wean age (3 weeks after birth), the offspring mice were tested with auditory brainstem responses (ABRs). At the conclusion of the experiment, the offspring mices cochleae were examined for hair cell counts.
Study sample
Ten breeder female C57BL6/J mice and 69 offspring mice.
Results
The offspring mice exposed to ARVs during development showed higher ABR thresholds than the control offspring. No differences were found in supra-threshold ABRs. There was no evidence of missing hair cells.
Conclusions
Hearing impairment may be a possible consequence of exposure to ARVs during gestation and development. Because the threshold differences were not large, if they are occurring in humans, it is unlikely they would be identified in any hearing screening tests.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2022.2067081

Acoustique ; Communication ; COVID-19 ; Masques (équipement de protection)Résumé : Objective
The use of various types of filtering facepiece class 3 (FFP3) mask have become commonplace since the Covid-19 outbreak. These have been evaluated in terms of efficacy regarding aerosol filtration but less emphasis has been placed on the acoustic effects of such masks and their consequences for clinical communication.
Design
A microphone 65 cm from a sound-producing Head and Torso Simulator (wearing the masks) was used to measure attenuation via a tone sweep. Predicted impact on speech reception in noise was assessed by weighting the attenuations of cochlear excitation patterns by the frequency importance function of the Speech Intelligibility Index.
Study sample
We evaluated acoustic attenuation properties of seven FFP3 masks and a Type IIR surgical mask (as a comparator).
Results
The Type IIR mask had the smallest impact on SNR (2.6 dB with visor). Most FFP3s with an addition of a visor (if not already face covering) impacted SNR by approximately 6 dB. The 3 M 6000 was significantly worse (15.8 dB).
Conclusions
Mouth-and-nose covering FFP3s masks had similar effects on SNR (≈6.2 dB with visor). The Tecmen TM-H2 had several advantages over other masks evaluated. It was reusable, allowed lipreading clues and the attenuation was similar to other FFP3s.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2022.2070780

Frequency following response (FFR)Mots-clés: Factorisation de matrices non négatives Résumé : Objective
One challenge in extracting the scalp-recorded frequency-following response (FFR) is related to its inherently small amplitude, which means that the response cannot be identified with confidence when only a relatively small number of recording sweeps are included in the averaging procedure.
Design
This study examined how the non-negative matrix factorisation (NMF) algorithm with a source separation constraint could be applied to improve the efficiency of FFR recordings. Conventional FFRs elicited by an English vowel/i/with a rising frequency contour were collected. Study sample: Fifteen normal-hearing adults and 15 normal-hearing neonates were recruited.
Results
The improvements of FFR recordings, defined as the correlation coefficient and root-mean-square differences across a sweep series of amplitude spectrograms before and after the application of the source separation NMF (SSNMF) algorithm, were characterised through an exponential curve fitting model. Statistical analysis of variance indicated that the SSNMF algorithm was able to enhance the FFRs recorded in both groups of participants.
Conclusions
Such improvements enabled FFR extractions in a relatively small number of recording sweeps, and opened a new window to better understand how speech sounds are processed in the human brain.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2022.2071345

Electrophysiologie auditive ; Hyperacousie ; Littérature de revue comme sujet ; Potentiels évoquésRésumé : Objective
Hyperacusis is known as a reduced tolerance to sounds perceived as normal to the majority of the population. There is currently no agreed definition, diagnostic tool, or objective measure of its occurrence. The purpose of this review is to catalogue the research to date on the use of auditory evoked potentials (AEP) to assess hyperacusis.
Design
A step-by-step methodology was conducted following guidelines. Four databases were searched. A total of 3343 papers were identified. A final yield of 35 articles were retained for analysis.
Results
The analysis identified four types of aetiologies to describe the hyperacusic population in AEP studies; developmental disorders (n = 19), neurological disorders (n = 3), induced hearing damage (n = 8) and idiopathic aetiology (n = 5). Electrophysiological measures were of short (n = 16), middle (n = 13) and long (n = 19) latencies, believed to reflect the activity of the ascending and descending pathways of the auditory system from periphery to cortex.
Conclusions
The results of this review revealed the potential use of electrophysiological measures for further understanding the mechanisms of hyperacusis. However, according to the disparity of concepts to define hyperacusis, definitions and populations need to be clarified before biomarkers specific to hyperacusis can be identified.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2022.2070083

Aides auditives ; Mesure réelle de l'oreille (REM) ; ProgrammationMots-clés: Sans ordonnance Résumé : Objective
Hearing aids are typically programmed using the individuals audiometric thresholds and verified using real-ear measures. Developments in technology have resulted in a new category of direct-to-consumer devices, which are not necessarily programmed using the individuals audiometric thresholds. This review aimed to identify whether programming hearing aids using the individuals validated audiogram-based prescription, and verified using real-ear measures, results in better outcomes for adults with hearing loss.
Design
The review was registered in PROSPERO and reported in accordance with PRISMA guidelines.
Study sample
After screening more than 1370 records, seven experimental studies met the eligibility criteria.
Results
Studies were categorised under three methods of fitting: (i) comparative fitting evaluating different settings based on the beliefs of the audiologist; (ii) client choice of preset responses; and (iii) self-fit by adjustment. The findings suggest that using a prescription based on the individuals audiogram improves outcomes relative to the comparative and client choice fitting approaches. Self-adjustment during daily use may produce equivalent (or better) outcomes than an audiogram-based prescription. The quality of evidence for the outcomes ranged from low to very low.
Conclusions
This review has highlighted the dearth of high-quality studies on which to make evidence-based decisions on hearing aid fitting methods.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2022.2064925

Audiométrie ; Dépistage auditif de l'enfant ; Enfant (6-12 ans) ; Outil de dépistage ; Perception spatiale ; Tablette numériqueRésumé : Objectives
To evaluate a tablet-based hearing screening game in primary school aged children. To examine the prevalence of middle/outer ear pathology, hearing loss and spatial processing disorder in primary school aged children.
Design
The automated hearing test Sound Scouts was used as a screening tool, which measures hearing abnormalities through tests of speech-in-quiet/noise and tone-in-noise. Children who failed the screenings underwent follow up testing with pure tone audiometry, tympanometry, otoscopy, and the Listening in Spatialised Noise-Sentences test. Results of each test were compared to measure efficacy.
Study Sample
1256 children aged 413 years from 8 primary schools.
Results
111 children (8.84%) presented with evidence of middle/outer ear pathologies. 21 children (1.67%) had hearing loss in at least one ear. 30 children (2.52%) were diagnosed with spatial processing disorder. False positive rate was 5.01%, indicating that a relatively small proportion of the children who failed the screenings were subsequently shown to have normal auditory function.
Conclusions
A game based program testing sound detection and binaural speech processing can be effective in detecting undiagnosed hearing deficits, in large format school-based hearing screenings. Prevalence of hearing abnormalities in Victorian primary school aged children were established, highlighting the value of school hearing screening programs.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2022.2052981

To conduct critical assessment of the literature on the effects of cochlear implantation on adults cognitive abilities.
Design
PubMed, Scopus, Lilacs, Web of Science, Livivo, Cochrane, Embase, PsycInfo, and grey literature were searched. Eligibility criteria: age 18 or over with severe-to-profound bilateral hearing loss, cochlear implantation, cognitive test before and after implantation. Risk of bias was assessed using ROB, ROBINS-I and MASTARI tools. Meta-analysis was performed.
Study sample
Out of 1830 studies, 16 met the inclusion criteria.
Results
On AlaCog test, significant improvement was found after implantation [MD = −46.64; CI95% = −69.96 to −23.33; I2 = 71%]. No significant differences were found on the Flanker, Recall, Trail A and n-back tests (p > 0.05). For MMSE, no significance was found [MD 0.63; CI 95% = −2.19 to 3.45; I2 = 88%]. On TMT, an overall significant effect with a 9-second decrease in processing speed post-implantation [MD = −9.43; CI95% = −15.42 to −3.44; I2 = 0%].
Conclusion
Cognitive improvements after cochlear implantation may depend on time and the cognitive task evaluated. Well-designed studies with longer follow-up are necessary to examine whether cochlear implantation has a positive influence on cognitive abilities.

Design: Two cross-sectional surveys were distributed at two different time points during the COVID-19 pandemic screening for psychological distress (PHQ-4: anxiety and depression) and loneliness (UCLA-3).
Study sample: 117 audiologists from around the world.
Results: Findings demonstrated that over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic audiologists levels of depression decreased, levels of anxiety were low and stable, whilst levels of loneliness were stable and high. Younger age was associated with lower levels of mental well-being. Responses to open text questions suggests that audiologists could be supported through development of clear and consistent guidelines on COVID-19 workplace restrictions, allowing for more workplace flexibility and providing mental health support through employee assistance programs.
Conclusions: The rates of anxiety, depression and loneliness observed highlight the continued need for mental health and workplace interventions to support audiologists throughout the COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent recovery period.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2022.2058626

PertinenceRésumé : Objective
To assess the suitability of newborn hearing screening brochures by evaluating current state-level brochures and pregnant peoples understanding of screening result terminology.
Design
In Study 1, state-level brochures were evaluated based on readability, design, picture appropriateness, and use of the word refer. In Study 2, pregnant people completed a questionnaire that queried their understanding of and expected anxiety about three newborn hearing screening outcomes (refer, did not pass, and pass).
Study sample
In Study 1, 59 newborn hearing screening brochures were analysed. In Study 2, 43 pregnant people completed surveys during a prenatal appointment.
Results
Most of the brochures were found deficient on at least one element. Thirty percent of brochures used the word refer to indicate a hearing screening failure; yet, fewer than half of participants understood its meaning. Ratings of expected anxiety were highest in response to the term did not pass.
Conclusions
Based on four study criteria of brochure suitability, 88% of available state-level newborn hearing screening brochures should be modified to make them readily understandable by a broad educational demographic. Discretion in use of the term refer should be made when indicating screening results, because the term is not readily understood.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2022.2068082

Base de données ; Classification internationale du fonctionnement, du handicap et de la santé (ICF) ; Evaluation auditive ; Perte d'auditionRésumé : Objective
The International Classification of Functioning Disability and Health (ICF) is a classification of health and health-related domains created by the World Health Organization and can be used as a standard to evaluate the health and disability of individuals. The ICF Core Set for Hearing Loss (CSHL) refers to the ICF categories found to be relative to Hearing Loss (HL) and the consequences of it on daily life. This study aimed to adapt the content of a database gathered in Hörzentrum Oldenburg gGmbH that included HL medical assessments and audiological data to the ICF.
Design
ICF linking rules were applied to these assessment methods including medical interviews, ear examinations, pure-tone audiometry, Adaptive Categorical Loudness Scaling, and speech intelligibility test.
Study sample
1316 subjects.
Results
In total, 44% of the brief and 18% of the comprehensive CSHL categories were addressed. The hearing functions were broadly evaluated. Activities and Participation and Environmental Factors were poorly examined (17% and 12% of the comprehensive CSHL categories, respectively).
Conclusions
The HL correlation with day-to-day activities limitation, performance restriction, and environmental conditions were poorly addressed. This study showed the essence of incorporating these methodologies with approaches that assess the daily-life challenges caused by HL in rehabilitation.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2022.2078433

Audioprothesiste ; Changement comportementalRésumé : Objective
To explore the barriers and facilitators faced by hearing healthcare clinicians (HHCs) with respect to asking adults with hearing loss (HL) about their emotional well-being.
Design
This qualitative study was conducted using semi-structured individual interviews and focus groups. The interview topic guide was developed based on the COM-B model.
Study sample
Fifteen HHCs of a single hearing services organisation in Western Australia across 13 clinic locations participated.
Results
Barriers and facilitators that may influence HHCs behaviour of routinely asking adults about their emotional well-being include having the knowledge and skills to ask about emotional well-being, forgetting to ask, awareness of the emotional impacts of HL, time and tools for asking, clients reactions to being asked, supportive peers, normalisation of discussions relating to emotional well-being, presence of significant others, emotions associated with asking, being in the habit of asking, reminders, beliefs about consequences and confidence or capabilities, and scope of audiology practice.
Conclusions
Application of the COM-B model identified barriers in capabilities (e.g. knowledge), opportunities (e.g. tools), and motivation (e.g. beliefs about benefits of asking about emotions) that need to be addressed for HHCs to ask their clients about their emotional well-being.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2022.2056090

Accueil ; COVID-19 ; Enquête ; Gestion ; Hôpitaux ; Télé-audiologieRésumé : Objective
To canvas the views of Australia-based hearing healthcare clinic owners/managers and reception staff regarding the utilisation, experiences and perspectives of providing tele-audiology services during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Design
A national prospective self-report survey was completed online. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics.
Study sample
Twenty-one clinic owners/managers (Mage 54.43 years, 15 female) and 58 reception staff (Mage 42.88 years, 49 female) from Australia-based hearing clinics.
Results
Clinic owners/managers reported an increase in use of tele-audiology services as compared to pre-COVID-19. Reception staff reported providing more advice and support to clients over the phone. Both clinic owners/managers and reception staff indicated key barriers to providing tele-audiology services to include concerns about their clients digital and technological literacy and the perception that in-the-clinic appointments deliver better client outcomes than tele-audiology appointments.
Conclusions
The increased utilisation of tele-audiology services observed appears to be largely influenced by COVID-19 related factors (e.g. maintaining client and staff safety and increased funding). It is therefore possible that utilisation of tele-audiology service may drop once the threat of the pandemic has subsided. Perceived barriers relating to clients digital literacy and the effectiveness of tele-audiology services require attention to safeguard the future of tele-audiology service delivery in Australia.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2022.2056091

To compare the response rate and response parameters of cervical and ocular vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (c&oVEMP) elicited by narrowband (NB) and broadband (BB) CE-Chirp, with the more classical tone burst (TB) and click VEMPs.
Design
The response rate, latency, amplitude and asymmetry ratio of c&oVEMPs elicited by 95 dB nHL air conducted (AC) 500 Hz NB CE-chirp, BB CE-chirp, 500 Hz TB and click stimuli were recorded bilaterally.
Study sample
20 male and 38 female participants (1939 years).
Results
For the cVEMP, the highest response rate was found for NB chirp (100%), followed by TB (91%), BB chirp (87%) and finally click (85%). A similar order was seen for oVEMP with percentages of 100%; 57%, 57%, and 43%. The 500 Hz NB CE-Chirp elicited significantly shorter cVEMP P1 and N1 latencies and significantly larger c&oVEMP amplitudes compared to all other stimuli. BB CE-Chirp elicited significantly shorter c&oVEMP P1 and N1 latencies with smaller amplitudes compared to TB. Asymmetry ratios were not statistically significant for all comparisons.
Conclusion
The 500 Hz NB CE-chirp provides the highest response rates, shorter latencies and larger amplitudes, and therefore seem a promising stimulus for reliably measuring c&oVEMPs in clinical practice.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2022.2064924

Immunité ; Névrite vestibulaire ; Perte d'audition ; Vaccins contre la COVID-19Résumé : Objective
To gain medical insight into the clinical course and safety of otolaryngologic disorders following immunisation with severe acute respiratory coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) mRNA-based vaccines.
Design
Case description.
Study sample
We report four cases of transient audio-vestibular symptoms, which occurred shortly after inoculation of two BNT162b2 (Pfizer-BioNTech®) and mRNA-1273 (Moderna®) vaccines.
Results
Hearing loss was unilateral in all cases and recovered at least partially: it was associated with persistent gait instability in two cases, after 1 and 7 months. Trigger mechanisms underpinning audio-vestibular impairment remain uncertain. Immune tolerance mechanisms with off-target innate activation of T-lymphocytes may be involved in vestibulocochlear nerve disorders, as for other cranial nerves involvement.
Conclusions
The occurrence of audio-vestibular manifestations following mRNA-based vaccines needs ENT monitoring to support their causality in such rare vaccine-related adverse events. Audio-vestibular disorders appeared of transitory nature, including hearing loss, and should not deter further efforts in large-scale vaccination campaigns against SARS-CoV-2.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2022.2056721

Hearing loss can seriously impact childrens quality of life. Disease-specific questionnaires are required to optimise medical care. This study aims to translate, adapt and validate the French version of the PEACH score for the auditory performance of children.
Design
This is a controlled, prospective study, conducted between April and October 2020. The translation was conducted using a forward-backward technique, and statistical validation was conducted with a test and re-test, on a patient population and a control population.
Study sample
Patients were included if they were 111 years old, and had at least 30 dB hearing loss in one ear. The mean age was 6 years for the 39 patients and 3.9 years for the 34 controls.
Results
Reproducibility, measured by Spearmans coefficient between global scores of the test and re-test was 0.78 (p

Traitement auditif central (cap)Mots-clés: Équation de Hill Résumé : Objective
This studys objective was determining whether gap detection deficits are present in a longstanding cohort of people living with HIV (PLWH) compared to those living without HIV (PLWOH) using a new gap detection modelling technique (i.e. fitting gap responses using the Hill equation and analysing the individual gap detection resulting curves with non-linear statistics). This approach provides a measure of both gap threshold and the steepness of the gap length/correct detection relationship.
Design
The relationship between the correct identification rate at each gap length was modelled using the Hill equation. Results were analysed using a nonlinear mixed-effect regression model.
Study sample
45 PLWH (age range 4178) and 39 PLWOH (age range 3879) were enrolled and completed gap detection testing.
Results
The likelihood ratio statistic comparing the full regression model with the HIV effects to the null model, assuming one population curve for both groups, was highly significant (p
Conclusions
PLWH showed degraded gap detection ability compared to PLWOH, likely due to central nervous system effects of HIV infection or treatment. The Hill equation provided a new approach for modelling gap detection ability.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2022.2068083

Maladie de Ménière ; Névrite vestibulaire ; Test d'impulsion rotatoire de la tête (vHIT) ; VertigeRésumé : Objective
To compare the diagnostic accuracies of air caloric testing with electronystagmography and the vHIT (video-head impulse test).
Design
Prospective, controlled study.
Study sample
MD (Ménières disease), 26; vestibular neuritis, 27; control, 56.
Results
In MD, CP (canal paresis) was pathological in 88.5%, the GA (gain asymmetry) on vHIT was pathological in 65.3%, and the gain was abnormal in only one patient. The GA and CP, were significantly higher in the MD group than in the control group, indicating hypofunction of the horizontal canals in MD, whereas a hyperfunction may also occur. No correlation was observed between the results of the two tests for evaluating MD, suggesting that pathological outcomes of one test do not guarantee abnormalities on the other test. For vestibular neuritis, significantly higher CP (96.3%), GA (81.5%), and gain (51.9%) values were detected. A correlation was identified between the two tests for vestibular neuritis, indicating a similar diagnostic efficiency. The higher percentage of pathological GA versus pathological gain values indicates that the asymmetry may be more informative.
Conclusions
The vHIT showed a higher specificity, whereas the caloric test a higher sensitivity. No correlation between the two methods was observed; therefore, the tests appear to provide complementary information.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2022.2059711

To assess the benefits of the Ida Institutes Why improve my hearing? Telecare Tool used before the initial hearing assessment appointment.
Design
A prospective, single-blind randomised clinical trial with two arms: (i) Why improve my hearing? Telecare Tool intervention, and (ii) standard care control.
Study sample
Adults with hearing loss were recruited from two Audiology Services within the United Kingdoms publicly-funded National Health Service. Of 461 individuals assessed for eligibility, 57 were eligible to participate.
Results
Measure of Audiologic Rehabilitation Self-efficacy for Hearing Aids (primary outcome) scores did not differ between groups from baseline to post-assessment (Mean change [Δ]= −2.28; 95% confidence interval [CI]= −6.70, 2.15, p= .307) and 10-weeks follow-up (Mean Δ= −2.69; 95% CI= −9.52, 4.15, p = .434). However, Short Form Patient Activation Measure scores significantly improved in the intervention group compared to the control group from baseline to post-assessment (Mean Δ= −6.06, 95% CI= −11.31, −0.82, p = .024, ES= .61) and 10-weeks follow-up (Mean Δ= −9.87, 95% CI= −15.34, −4.40, p = .001, ES= −.97).
Conclusions
This study demonstrates that while a patient-centred telecare intervention completed before management decisions may not improve an individuals self-efficacy to manage their hearing loss, it can lead to improvements in readiness.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2022.2059713

To examine patient and audiologist experiences and perspectives of using a patient-centred telecare tool, the Ida Institutes Why Improve My Hearing? (WIMH) Tool, before and during the initial hearing assessment appointment.
Design
A qualitative study comprising individual semi-structured interviews using a maximum variation sampling strategy. The data were analysed using an established thematic analysis technique.
Study sample
Fifteen participants, including ten patients (i.e. adults with hearing loss) and five audiologists, were recruited from Adult Audiology Services within the United Kingdoms publicly-funded National Health Service (NHS).
Results
Three themes described the impact of using the WIMH Tool. Theme 1 (i.e. enhanced preparation before the appointment): the Tool helps patients to better understand and accept their hearing difficulties in advance of their first appointment. Theme 2 (i.e. enriched discussion during the appointment): the tool can enhance patient-centred communication, as well as the efficiency of the appointment. Theme 3 (i.e. varied impact on outcomes following the appointment): the Tool can improve patient motivation, readiness, and involvement in decision-making, though it may have limited impact on additional outcomes, such as adherence.
Conclusion
The WIMH Tool can be successfully implemented in audiological practice, resulting in benefits before and during the initial hearing assessment appointment.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2022.2041740

FiabilitéMots-clés: MBAA2 Résumé : Objective
The Marginal benefit from acoustic amplification version 2 (MBAA2) sentence test has been used in France in the routine evaluation of cochlear implant (CI) users for 20 years. Here we present four studies that characterise and validate the test, and compare it with the French matrix sentence test.
Design and sample
An analytic method was developed to obtain speech recognition threshold in noise (SNR50) from testing at a fixed signal to noise ratios (SNRs). Speech recognition was measured at several fixed SNRs in 18 normal-hearing listeners and 15 CI listeners. Then, the testretest reliability of the MBAA2 was measured in an additional 15 CI listeners. Finally, list equivalence was evaluated in eight CI listeners.
Results
The MBAA2 test produced lower SNR50s and SNR50s were obtained in more CI listeners than with the French matrix test. For the MBAA2, the standard deviation of testretest differences in CI listeners was around 1 dB SNR. Three lists had deviant difficulty and nine low item-to-total correlations.
Conclusions
We propose to reduce the number of MBAA2 test lists to reduce variability. The MBAA2 test has high testretest reliability for percent correct and SNR50, and is suitable for the assessment of cochlear implant patients.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2022.2045368

Épidémiologie ; Perte d'audition ; Population active ; PrévalenceRésumé : Objectives
To examine the prevalence of hearing loss (HL) among employed persons, the association between HL and non-employment, assessing whether this has changed over the last two decades. To identify susceptible groups for HL-related work problems and examine the association between HL and co-worker relations.
Design
Cross-sectional analyses of working-age participants (2066 years). HL was defined as the pure-tone average threshold of 0.54 kHz in the better hearing ear: 2034 dB (mild) or ≥35 dB (disabling). Associations were assessed with logistic regression.
Study sample
Data from two waves of the Trøndelag Health Study (HUNT): HUNT2 19961998 (N = 38,603), HUNT4 20172019 (N = 19,614).
Results
The nationally weighted prevalence of HL among employees was 5.8%. HL was associated with non-employment, more strongly in HUNT2 (odds ratio (OR) 2.2, 95% confidence interval (CI) 2.02.4) than HUNT4 (OR 1.9, CI 1.72.1). HL was not associated with poorer co-worker relations. The association between HL and non-optimal work performance was stronger among white-collar workers than blue-collar workers.
Conclusions
Our study shows that HL is common in the employed population. It also indicates a weakened association between HL and non-employment in recent generations. White-collar workers appear to be more vulnerable to HL-related work problems than blue-collar workers.
Summary
This paper evaluates employment and work performance among hearing impaired. We show a prevalence of hearing loss (HL) among employed persons of 5.8% and that HL is associated with higher odds of non-employment. Our study indicates that the association between HL and non-employment has weakened in recent generations.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2022.2045367

This study aimed to investigate the effect of wearing a face mask on word recognition in hearing-impaired listeners.
Design
Word recognition scores were obtained in quiet and in different signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs 0, +5, and +10 dB) using two listening conditions (with N95 mask and with no-mask).
Study sample
Participants were forty-six listeners with normal hearing sensitivity and thirty-nine listeners with mild to moderately severe sensorineural hearing loss.
Results
Results showed that wearing a face mask affected word recognition and that this effect was greater for listeners with hearing impairment than that observed for listeners with normal hearing sensitivity. The extent of this effect was also dependent on the SNR conditions such that the effect of wearing a face mask was worse in adverse listening conditions.
Conclusions
Overall, this study demonstrated that face mask can disrupt speech intelligibility possibly by degrading some acoustical features which may pose substantial difficulties for those with hearing impairment.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2022.2045366

To investigate listening skills in infant hearing aid users using the LittlEARS® Auditory Questionnaire (LEAQ).
Design
Caregivers completed the LEAQ, and hearing aid data logging was recorded, at infant age 37 months and 721 months.
Study sample
Seventy infant hearing aid users with permanent bilateral hearing loss, no developmental comorbidities, aged 37 months at first visit.
Results
Infants with mild and moderate losses tended to have scores within the normative range at the early time point (88%), but 29% were below the normative range when older. Thirty percent of infants with severe hearing loss were outside the normative range at the early time point and 60% outside the normative range when older. Infants with profound loss were almost always (95%) outside the normative range. At the later time point, and for infants with severe-to-profound loss, low LEAQ scores were associated with fewer daily hours hearing aid use. Scores were poorer than previous reports in the literature for infant hearing aid users.
Conclusions
This study provides further knowledge on infant listening performance and hearing aid use over time that can be used to guide management of individual cases and to develop and audit service quality improvements.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2022.2048105

The present study aimed to clarify the associations between Hearing Aid Self-efficacy (HASE) and other traits such as working memory, personality and hearing aid (HA) experience.
Design and study sample
Fifty-four adults (both naïve and experienced HA users) were included in this exploratory descriptive study. Their working memory, personality, HASE, HA experience and practical HA skills were evaluated.
Results
HA experience had a significant positive association with self-efficacy for basic and advanced HA handling abilities. Working memory and personality traits were not related to HASE. For the experienced HA users, HASE was not related to HA skills. However, the openness personality trait had a significant positive association with HA skills.
Conclusions
The positive association between HASE and HA experience supported the theory that HASE might be improved through mastery experiences. Possessing certain cognitive abilities or specific personality traits is not a prerequisite for having high HASE. This study also supports previous findings that HASE is not related to HA skills, bringing into question whether improving HASE will also improve HA outcomes. However, for experienced participants, aspects of personality and cognition might play a role in mediating the association between HASE and HA skills.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2022.2042607

Arme à feu ; Loisirs ; Population ; Surdité due au bruitRésumé : Objectives
The risk of noise injury from recreational firearm use is well known. Despite preventive measures it is uncertain whether it has become less harmful. We assessed whether the association between recreational firearm use and hearing has changed during the last two decades.
Design
We used a repeated cross-sectional design and determined hearing thresholds by pure-tone audiometry. Frequency-specific associations between recreational firearm use and hearing thresholds were assessed by multivariate linear regression stratified by sex and adjusted for age and other covariates.
Study sample
Two cross-sectional population-based cohorts 20 years apart (1998 and 2018) comprised 27,580 (53% women, mean age 53 years) and 26,606 individuals (56% women, mean age 54 years), respectively.
Results
Recreational firearm use was reported by 28% in 1998 and 30% in 2018. The proportion that reported wearing hearing protection increased. Exposure to recreational firearms was associated with elevated thresholds at 3-6 kHz in both cohorts. The association increased with the number of lifetime shots. The associations increased by age and were substantially smaller in the most recent cohort.
Conclusions
Analyses of two cohorts revealed a reduction in the association between recreational firearm use and hearing over 20 years, coinciding with the introduction of hearing preservation measures.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2022.2050822

VerificationRésumé : Objective
Objective measurement of audibility (verification) using bone conduction devices (BCDs) has long remained an elusive problem for BCDs. For air conduction hearing aids there are well-defined and often used objective methods, and the aim of this study is to develop an objective method for BCDs.
Design
In a novel setup for audibility measurements of bone-anchored hearing aid (BAHA) attached via a soft band, we used a skin microphone (SM) on the forehead measuring in-situ sound field thresholds, maximum power output (MPO) and international speech test signal (ISTS) responses.
Study sample
Five normal-hearing persons.
Result
Using the electrical output of SM it was possible to objectively measure the audibility of a skin drive BCD, presented as an eSPL-o-gram showing thresholds, MPO and ISTS response. Normalised eSPL-o-gram was verified against corresponding FL-o-grams (corresponding force levels from skull simulator and artificial mastoid (AM)).
Conclusion
The proposed method with the SM can be used for objective measurements of the audibility of any BCDs based on thresholds, MPO and speech response allowing for direct comparisons of hearing and BCD output on the same graph using an eSPL-o-gram. After normalisation to hearing thresholds, the audibility can be assessed without the need for complicated calibration procedures.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2022.2041739

The primary objective of the current study was the validation of a cloud-centralized audiometry system for clinical practice.
Design
A cross-sectional study design was used.
Study sample
A convenience sample of patients (>10 years old) booked for follow-up appointments were invited to participate. Participants completed both conventional and online digital audiometry in a standard sound treated clinic space during a single clinic visit; tests were completed in random order. Data for both ears were included. Patients were from one of three audiological practices.
Results
A total of 41 participants completed both audiometric tests. Validation study results showed that the mean difference between the two audiometric test results remained within 5 dB HL for both air and bone conduction thresholds at all tested frequencies.
Conclusions
Online digital audiometry has been demonstrated as a clinically accurate method for hearing assessment.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2022.2052979

StimulationMots-clés: Réponses auditives Résumé : Objective
To present randomised stimulation level (RSL) a stimulation paradigm in which the level of the stimuli is randomised, rather than presented sequentially as in the conventional paradigm.
Design
The value of RSL was evaluated by (i) comparing the morphology of auditory brainstem responses (ABRs) elicited by the conventional and RSL paradigms, and by (ii) an online survey investigating the hearing comfort of the stimulus sequence.
Study sample
ABRs were obtained from 11 normal-hearing adults (8 females, 2529 years). The online survey was administered to 238 adults from the general community.
Results
Results showed that (i) both stimulation paradigms elicit ABR signals of similar morphology, (ii) RSL provides a faster comprehensive representation of the ABR session, and that (iii) the general population found RSL stimuli to be more comfortable.
Conclusions
The simultaneous evaluation of all ABR traces of the session provided by RSL has potential to improve the identification of ABR components by enabling clinicians to make use of the response tracking strategy from the start of the test, which is critical in situations where ABRs present an abnormal morphology. New research opportunities and the clinical potential of RSL are discussed.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2022.2047233

Microphone sondeRésumé : Objective
Simulation-based learning experiences provide low-risk opportunities for procedural training and practice in audiology. A series of real ear measurements (REM) were completed using Clinical Assistant for Research and Learning (CARL) manikins to determine expected responses and to compare to normative data.
Design
(1) Real-ear Unaided Response (REUR) curves were measured with one CARL and each of three ear styles. (2) Test/retest reliability was evaluated by repeating each REUR. (3) Real ear to coupler difference (RECD) values for foam-tip and custom earmolds were calculated. (4) The reliability across copies of the CARL heads was evaluated by comparing REUR measurement from one set of ears on 4 heads.
Study Sample
Four adult CARL manikins and thirty ears (5 sets of large, small, and bent).
Results
Within each ear category, the average difference across frequencies from one ear to the next was less than 2.5 dB with no significant individual difference more than 5.8 dB. Test/retest reliability was excellent. Typical REUR and RECD curves were created for each ear style and compared to published data on human ears.
Conclusions
REM using the adult CARL head are predictable and repeatable making this simulator a good tool for audiological training.Disponible en ligne : Non En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?urlhttps://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2022.2048104

Reponse corticale (cera)Mots-clés: Corrélation croisées ; Parole continue ; Fonction de réponse temporelle Résumé : Objective
To explore the detection of cortical responses to continuous speech using a single EEG channel. Particularly, to compare detection rates and times using a cross-correlation approach and parameters extracted from the temporal response function (TRF).
Design
EEG from 32-channels were recorded whilst presenting 25-min continuous English speech. Detection parameters were cross-correlation between speech and EEG (XCOR), peak value and power of the TRF filter (TRF-peak and TRF-power), and correlation between predicted TRF and true EEG (TRF-COR). A bootstrap analysis was used to determine response statistical significance. Different electrode configurations were compared: Using single channels Cz or Fz, or selecting channels with the highest correlation value.
Study sample
Seventeen native English-speaking subjects with mild-to-moderate hearing loss.
Results
Significant cortical responses were detected from all subjects at Fz channel with XCOR and TRF-COR. Lower detection time was seen for XCOR (mean = 4.8 min) over TRF parameters (best TRF-COR, mean = 6.4 min), with significant time differences from XCOR to TRF-peak and TRF-power. Analysing multiple EEG channels and testing channels with the highest correlation between envelope and EEG reduced detection sensitivity compared to Fz alone.
Conclusions
Cortical responses to continuous speech can be detected from a single channel with recording times that may be suitable for clinical application.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2022.2035832

RepetabiliteMots-clés: Audiométrie automatisée au seuil (ATA) Résumé : Objective
Automated threshold audiometry (ATA) could increase access to paediatric hearing assessment in low- and middle-income countries, but few studies have evaluated test-retest repeatability of ATA in children. This study aims to analyse test-retest repeatability of ATA and to identify factors that affect the reliability of this method.
Design
ATA was performed twice in a cohort of Nicaraguan schoolchildren. During testing, the proportion of responses occurring in the absence of a stimulus was measured by calculating a stimulus response false positive rate (SRFP). Absolute test-retest repeatability was determined between the two trials, as well as the impact of age, gender, ambient noise, head circumference, and SRFP on these results.
Study Sample
807 children were randomly selected from 35 schools in northern Nicaragua.
Results
Across all frequencies, the absolute value of the difference between measurements was 5.5 ± 7.8 dB. 89.6% of test-retest differences were within 10 dB. Intra-class correlation coefficients between the two measurements showed that lower SRFP was associated with improved repeatability. No effect of age, gender, or ambient noise was found.
Conclusions
ATA produced moderate test-retest repeatability in Nicaraguan schoolchildren. Participant testing behaviours, such as delayed or otherwise inappropriate response patterns, significantly impacts the repeatability of these measurements.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2022.2032416

Mot monosyllabiqueMots-clés: Non-linguistique ; spectro-temporal analysis Résumé : Objectives
A method for testing auditory processing of non-linguistic speech-like stimuli was developed and evaluated.
Design
Monosyllabic words were temporally reversed and distorted. Stimuli were matched for spectrum and level. Listeners discriminated between distorted and undistorted stimuli.
Study sample
Three groups were tested. The Normal group was comprised of 12 normal-hearing participants. The Senior group was comprised of 12 seniors. The Hearing Loss group was comprised of 12 participants with thresholds of at least 35 dB HL at one or more frequencies.
Results
The Senior group scored lower than the Normal group, and the Hearing Loss group scored lower than the Senior group. Scores for forward compressed speech were slightly higher than backward compressed speech but the difference was not statistically significant. Retest scores were slightly higher than scores on the first test, but the difference was not statistically significant.
Conclusions
Large differences in discrimination of distorted speech were observed among the three groups. Age and hearing loss separately affected performance. The depressed performance of the Senior group may be a result of hidden hearing loss that is attributed to cochlear synaptopathy. The backward-distorted speech task may be a useful non-linguistic test of speech processing that is language independent.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2022.2055654

Effet d'occlusion acoustique (oe)Résumé : Objective
Ear canal occlusion by a hearing aid leads to an unnatural sound of the own voice due to a level increase of bone-conducted low-frequency components of the ear canal. Opening the ear through vents or domes reduces this so-called occlusion effect, however at the cost of reduced hearing aid performance. For individual earmolds, several other design options to reduce the occlusion effect have been proposed but not reliably evaluated.
Design
The occlusion effect and coupling parameters were assessed through subjective ratings and real-ear measurements.
Study sample
Six individual earmold designs, each with different venting options, were tested in 10 subjects.
Results
In line with previous studies, our data show that the opening of the ear as described by the acoustic mass of the vent is the prime parameter that predicts both the occlusion effect and coupling parameters. However, the design of the earmold, most importantly the location where sealing of the ear canal is achieved, is another important factor for occlusion and coupling effects.
Conclusions
Although no reduction of the occlusion effect seems possible without additional opening of the ear canal, some earmold modifications seem to aggravate the occlusion effect as compared to a standard earmold with equivalent vent.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2022.2039966

AttenuationRésumé : Objective
To evaluate musicians personal attenuation and perceptions of three types of hearing protection devices (HPDs): formable foam earplugs and both non-custom and custom versions of uniform attenuation earplugs (UAEs) marketed to musicians.
Design
A mixed-methods approach was used to evaluate the HPDs. Audiometric testing obtained hearing levels at baseline and with each HPD across frequencies (1258000 Hz) to determine personal attenuation ratings and uniformity of attenuation. Participants completed surveys over six months regarding how often they used the HPDs and their perceptions about wearing them.
Study sample
Twenty-four musicians were recruited to participate.
Results
Substantial variability was observed in the attenuation achieved among participants for each HPD type, but custom UAEs provided the most consistent attenuation across frequencies. Participants HPD preferences were influenced by multiple factors including personal instrument and specific activity. Custom UAEs were most frequently used but usage rates continually decreased over the 6-month period.
Conclusions
Fit-testing is important to determine fit and sizing. Combining information on the effectiveness of HPDs with musicians opinions about wearing them can inform recommendations for which types may be the most effective and feasible options for reducing sound exposures.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2022.2035831

Development of the Feather Squadron (FS) has created a cost-effective, accessible form of assessment through tele-audiology. As accessibility to reliable, cost-effective assessment of auditory processing (AP) skills is limited in South Africa (SA), this study aims to establish whether there is correlation between the FS and traditional tests of AP viz. Frequency Pattern and Dichotic Digits Test, and to establish its relevance to the SA population.
Design
Retrospective, within-subject, comparative design used to compare performance on the FS and the traditional tests. Data were considered in two ways: Firstly, using the traditional −2SD cut-off on some subtests of the FS compared to the same traditional tests, and secondly, by comparing the Z-scores obtained on the FS compared to Z-scores on the same traditional tests obtained by applying a double arcsine transformation.

To understand the nature of mental health discussions in audiological rehabilitation, specifically, the types of conversations, when and how they are initiated, and the participant factors associated with discussing mental health.
Design
A cross-sectional descriptive survey including quantitative (multiple choice) and qualitative (free-text) questions regarding mental health discussions between audiologists and clients.
Study sample
A convenience sample of 118 Australian audiologists working in adult audiological rehabilitation.
Results
The majority of participants (95.8%) reported having engaged in discussions with clients about mental illness and health at some point throughout their career. The frequency of these discussions varied across participants: 7% rarely discuss, 50% discuss occasionally, 30% discuss with about half their clients and 13% have discussions with most clients. Many participants (85.6%) reported that clients would initiate these conversations, most often via disclosing the impacts of hearing loss on clients lives.
Conclusions
Most audiologists will encounter clients with mental health concerns, and many will engage in conversations about psychological symptoms, therefore, training audiologists to recognise and address verbal and non-verbal cues regarding mental health may help to promote person-centred care and potentially improve outcomes.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2022.2034060

Developpement auditifRésumé : Objective
The purpose of this study was to 1) characterise word recognition in a speech masker for preschoolers tested using closed-set, forced-choice procedures and 2) better understand the stimulus and listener factors affecting performance.
Design
Speech recognition thresholds (SRTs) in a two-talker masker were evaluated using a picture-pointing response with two sets of disyllabic target words. ChEgSS words were previously developed for children ≥5 years of age, and simple words were developed for preschoolers. Familiarisation ensured accurate identification of target words before testing.
Study sample
Participants were 3- and 4-year olds (n = 21) and young adults (n = 10) with normal hearing.
Results
Preschoolers and adults had significantly lower SRTs for the simple words than the ChEgSS words, and lower SRTs for early-acquired than later-acquired ChEgSS words. For both word sets, SRTs were approximately 11-dB higher for preschoolers than adults, and child age was associated with SRTs. Preschoolers receptive vocabulary size predicted performance for ChEgSS words but not simple words.
Conclusions
Preschoolers were more susceptible to speech-in-speech masking than adults, with a similar childadult difference for the ChEgSS and simple words. Effects of receptive vocabulary in preschoolers recognition of ChEgSS words indicate that vocabulary size is an important consideration, even when using closed-set methods.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2022.2035833

To identify the barriers and facilitators of hearing healthcare clinicians (HHC) providing information to audiology consumers on (i) the mental health impacts of hearing loss, and (ii) management options for improving mental well-being.
Design
A qualitative study using semi-structured individual and group interviews. Both the interview guide and the deductive process of data analysis were based on the COM-B model (Capabilities, Opportunities and Motivations required for Behaviour change).
Study sample
Fifteen HHCs with between 2 and 25 years of clinical experience (mean 9.3).
Results
Psychological Capability barriers included lack of knowledge relating to mental health signs and symptoms, management options available, referral processes, and resources/tools to assist discussion of options. Social opportunity barriers included clients lack of openness to receive mental health-related information from their HHC. Automatic motivation factors included feeling uncomfortable and helpless when discussing mental health. Reflective motivation factors included clinicians limiting beliefs concerning their role and responsibilities regarding provision of mental health support, and doubts about whether mental health services are truly beneficial for clients with hearing loss.
Conclusion
Application of the COM-B model for behaviour change identified factors that need to be addressed to increase the provision of mental health information in the audiology setting.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2022.2034997

To understand the characteristics of postnatal hearing loss (PNHL) identified via different referral pathways, to inform childhood hearing screening and referral practices.
Design
Retrospective analysis of screening and audiology records.
Study sample
A cohort of 385 children who passed newborn hearing screening in Queensland, Australia between September 2004 and December 2017 and were later diagnosed with permanent hearing loss.
Results
Neonatally identified risk factors facilitated detection for half the cohort, with PNHL detected earlier (average age of 31 months) and at a milder degree. PNHL was detected at an average age of 49 months via other pathways. Proportions of bilateral moderate or greater PNHL were greatest in children with significant medical circumstances (60.7%) and those with noted delays or concerns (39.2%), whereas childhood hearing screening programs detected greater proportions of unilateral moderate or greater PNHL (47.4%).
Conclusions
Risk-factor-based surveillance detects PNHL early but does not detect all cases. Screening children with speech and language delays, parental or professional concern, or with relevant medical circumstances (eg meningitis or chemotherapy) is warranted based on the types of PNHL detected. Further evidence may be required to justify the rollout of postnatal population childhood screening programs.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2022.2042606

To examine willingness to consider and to pay for various one-to-one telehealth appointments and online group training/information sessions amongst hearing service clients interested in future telehealth.
Design
Online survey exploring telehealth usage and attitudes more broadly.
Study sample
One-hundred-and-sixty-eight (39.8%) of the 422 survey respondents who answered the question were interested in future hearing-related telehealth. Data were analysed for the 148 providing demographic information.
Results
At least some respondents were interested in each type of one-to-one appointment (∼3060% for most types) and group training/information session (∼3050% for most types). Some inconsistent associations were found between willingness to consider individual appointment types and a metropolitan location, younger age, and female gender. Associations with having a hearing device fitted may have been influenced by the different needs of those without devices. Younger respondents were more likely to consider a wide range of appointment types. Being younger was associated with an interest in 7 of the 9 different group session types. The acceptable price range was AUD$30$86 (USD$22$62) (n = 129) for one-to-one appointments and AUD$47$103 (USD$34$73) for three group sessions (n = 99).
Conclusions
Despite additional communication needs, hearing service clients have a strong interest in a range of individual and group telehealth services.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2022.2039965

Using data from the n200-study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between behavioural (the Swedish HINT and Hagerman speech-in-noise tests) and self-report (Speech, Spatial and Qualities of Hearing Questionnaire (SSQ)) measures of listening under adverse conditions.
Design
The Swedish HINT was masked with a speech-shaped noise (SSN), the Hagerman was masked with a SSN and a four-talker babble, and the subscales from the SSQ were used as a self-report measure. The HINT and Hagerman were administered through an experimental hearing aid.
Study sample
This study included 191 hearing aid users with hearing loss (mean PTA4 = 37.6, SD = 10.8) and 195 normally hearing adults (mean PTA4 = 10.0, SD = 6.0).
Results
The present study found correlations between behavioural measures of speech-in-noise and self-report scores of the SSQ in normally hearing individuals, but not in hearing aid users.
Conclusion
The present study may help identify relationships between clinically used behavioural measures, and a self-report measure of speech recognition. The results from the present study suggest that use of a self-report measure as a complement to behavioural speech in noise tests might help to further our understanding of how self-report, and behavioural results can be generalised to everyday functioning.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www-tandfonline-com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2022.2047232

Ensemble olivocochleaire moyenRésumé : Objective
The medial olivocochlear (MOC) reflex provides unmasking of sounds in noise, but its contribution to speech-in-noise perception remains unclear due to conflicting results. This study determined associations between MOC reflex strength and sentence recognition in noise in individuals with normal hearing.
Design
MOC reflex strength was assessed using contralateral inhibition of transient-evoked otoacoustic emissions (TEOAEs). Scores on the AzBio sentence task were quantified at three signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs). Additionally, slope and threshold of the psychometric function were computed. Associations between MOC reflex strength and speech-in-noise outcomes were assessed using Spearman rank correlations.
Study sample
Nineteen young adults with normal hearing participated, with data from 17 individuals (mean age = 21.8 years) included in the analysis.
Results
Contralateral noise significantly decreased the amplitude of TEOAEs. A range of contralateral inhibition values was exhibited across participants. Scores increased significantly with increasing SNR. Contrary to hypotheses, there were no significant correlations between MOC reflex strength and score, nor were there any significant correlations between MOC reflex strength and measures of the psychometric function.
Conclusions
Results found no significant monotonic relationship between MOC reflex strength and sentence recognition in noise. Future work is needed to determine the functional role of the MOC reflex.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www-tandfonline-com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2022.2033857

Potentiels évoqués a action composée (eCAP) ; Psychophysique de l'auditionRésumé : Objective
This study compared two different versions of an electrophysiology-based software-guided cochlear implant fitting method with a procedure employing standard clinical software. The two versions used electrically evoked compound action potential (ECAP) thresholds for either five or all twenty-two electrodes to determine sound processor stimulation level profiles. Objective and subjective performance results were compared between software-guided and clinical fittings.
Design
Prospective, double-blind, single-subject repeated-measures with permuted ABCA sequences.
Study sample
48 post linguistically deafened adults with ≤15 years of severe-to-profound deafness who were newly unilaterally implanted with a Nucleus device.
Results
Speech recognition in noise and quiet was not significantly different between software- guided and standard methods, but there was a visit/learning-effect. However, the 5-electrode method gave scores on the SSQ speech subscale 0.5 points lower than the standard method. Clinicians judged usability for all methods as acceptable, as did subjects for comfort. Analysis of stimulation levels and ECAP thresholds suggested that the 5-electrode method could be refined.
Conclusions
Speech recognition was not inferior using either version of the electrophysiology-based software-guided fitting method compared with the standard method. Subject-reported speech perception was slightly inferior with the five-electrode method. Software-guided methods saved about 10 min of clinicians time versus standard fittings.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www-tandfonline-com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2021.2015543

Auto-evaluation auditiveRésumé : Objective
To date, no hearing-specific self-report tool is available in Dutch to give insight into how deficits in auditory skills are experienced by a child in daily life or to examine the impact of hearing loss on childrens quality of life. Therefore, we aimed to translate and validate the Speech, Spatial, and Qualities of Hearing Scale (SSQ) and the Hearing Environments and Reflection on Quality of Life (HEAR-QL) Questionnaire for children and adolescents into Dutch.
Design
Translation of the questionnaires into Dutch was conducted by means of the forward-backward procedure. Participants were invited to complete the questionnaires digitally. We examined discriminant validity, internal consistency, and test-retest reliability.
Study sample
A total of 121 subjects between 7 and 18 years old were included, of which 54 normal hearing and 67 bilaterally hearing-impaired subjects. Hearing-impaired subjects were fitted with hearing aids, bone conductive devices and/or cochlear implants.
Results
All questionnaires were shown to significantly discriminate between the normal hearing and the hearing-impaired group. Satisfying internal consistency and good test-retest reliability were found.
Conclusions
The Dutch SSQ and HEAR-QL questionnaires for children and adolescents appear to be valid and reliable self-report tools for management and follow-up of those with hearing loss.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www-tandfonline-com.ezproxy.vinci.be/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2021.2020914

Audiométrie ; Bruit ; Conservation auditive ; Personnel militaireMots-clés: Audiométrie sans cabine Résumé : Objective
The purpose of this study was to evaluate auditory performance of military instructors as part of a training course involving noise and blast exposure. Boothless audiometry was used to estimate the test-retest reliability of the auditory measures under realistic field conditions and to determine risk of acute auditory injury during standard training practices.
Design and study sample
Thirteen U.S. Marine instructors participated in study activities. An audiologic testing suite embedded in a noise-attenuating headset was used to test various tone detection tasks on subjects after exposure. Acoustic exposures were captured with sound level meters.
Results
Boothless audiometry provide highly repeatable results for various tests of auditory performance in the field environment. In this test population, changes in auditory performance pre- and post-noise exposure were minimal for most measures. The notable exception was binaural (NoSπ) tone detection, which showed significant degradations both as a function of pre- and post-noise exposure on the same day and as a result of cumulative noise exposure over the period of the study.
Conclusions
Study outcomes are consistent with prior laboratory and epidemiological work and suggest a link between the binaural processes required for NoSπ detection and the hearing-related issues reported by blast-exposed service members.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www-tandfonline-com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2022.2028023

D-methionineMots-clés: otoprotection Résumé : Objective
To elucidate D-methionines (D-met) dose and time rescue parameters from steady-state or impulse noise-induced permanent threshold shift (PTS) and determine D-met rescues influence on serum and cochlear antioxidant levels.
Design
Five D-met doses at 0, 50, 100, or 200 mg/kg/dose administered starting at 1, 24, or 36 hours post steady-state or impulse noise exposure. Auditory brainstem responses at baseline and 21 days post-noise measured PTS. Serum (superoxide dismutase [SOD], catalase [CAT],, glutathione reductaseand glutathione peroxidase [GPx]) and cochlear (Glutathione [GSH] and glutathione disulphide [GSSG]) antioxidant levels measured physiological impact.
Study Sample
Chinchillas (10/study group; 68/confirmatory groups).
Results
D-met significantly reduced PTS for impulse noise (100 mg [2, 6, 14 and 20 kHz]; 200 mg [2, 14 and 20 kHz]) and steady-state noise (all dosing groups, time parameters and tested frequencies). PTS reduction did not significantly vary by rescue time. D-met significantly increased serum SOD (100 and 200 mg for 24 hour rescue) and GPx (50 mg/kg at 24 hour rescue) at 21 days post-noise. Cochlear GSH and GSSG levels were unaffected relative to control.
Conclusion
D-met rescues from steady-state and impulse noise-induced PTS even when administered up to 36 hours post-noise and dose-dependently influences serum antioxidant levels even 21 days post-noise. D-mets broad and effective dose/time window renders it a promising antioxidant rescue agent.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2021.2022790

This study investigated the effects of different adjustment criteria and sound scenes on self-adjusted hearing-aid gain settings. Self-adjusted settings were evaluated for speech recognition in noise, perceived listening effort, and preference.
Design
This study evaluated a semi-supervised self-adjustment fine-tuning procedure that presents realistic everyday sound scenes in a laboratory environment, using a two-dimensional user interface, and enabling simultaneous changes in amplitude and spectral slope. While exploring the two-dimensional space of parameter settings, the hearing-aid users were instructed to optimise either listening comfort or speech understanding.
Study sample
Twenty experienced hearing aid users (median age 69.5 years) were invited to participate in this study.
Results
Adjustment criterion and sound scenes had a significant effect on preferred gain settings. No differences in signal-to-noise ratios required for 50% speech intelligibility or in the perceived listening effort were observed between the adjusted settings of the two adjustment criteria. There was a preference for the self-adjusted settings over the prescriptive first fit.
Conclusions
Listeners could reliably select their preferred gains to the two adjustment criteria and for different speech stimuli.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2022.2028022

Verrouillage de phaseRésumé : Objective
The auditory nerve overlapped waveform response (ANOW), a new measure that can be recorded non-invasively from humans, holds promise for providing more accurate assessment of low frequency hearing thresholds than currently used objective measures. This research aims to investigate the robustness and the nature of the ANOW response in humans.
Design
Repeated within-session recordings of the ANOW response using low-frequency Tone Bursts (TBs) were obtained at multiple stimulus levels. ANOWs absolute amplitude and phase locking value (PLV) measures were analysed to obtain normative data and to test the reliability of the ANOW response.
Study sample
Thirteen normal hearing adults within the age range of 25 to 40 years.
Results
ANOW response was obtained to both 250 Hz and 500 Hz TBs and was traced down to 3040 dB nHL. ANOW response showed significantly higher amplitude and stronger phase locking using 250 Hz TB compared to 500 Hz TB. High degree of test retest reliability of the ANOW response was found using 250 Hz TB at presentation levels higher than 40 dB nHL.
Conclusions
ANOW response is recordable noninvasively using low-frequency TBs and shows higher robustness as the stimulus frequency decreases.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2021.2024283

Conduction aerienneMots-clés: Conducteurs osseux Résumé : Objective
To monitor ototoxicity, air conduction (AC) extended high frequency (EHF) thresholds can be measured up to 16 kHz. However, conductive hearing loss might influence these results. This is unfortunate because the EHF thresholds are important to follow the impact of ototoxic medication during therapy. Therefore a suitable bone conduction (BC) transducer and norm values for EHF BC measurements are needed.
Design
In this study three different BC transducers were used: the B71 (Radioear), the KH70 (Präcitronic), and the KLH96 (Westra). Hearing thresholds were measured from 0.125 to 16 kHz using AC transducers (Telephonics TDH39, Sennheiser HDA200), and BC thresholds from 0.25 to 8 kHz with the B71, and from 0.25 to 16 kHz with the KLH96 and KH70.
Study sample
60 ears of 30 normal hearing subjects were measured.
Results
The KLH96 showed the highest output for the high frequencies, and distortion measurements were similar to the KH70. The results show that EHF measurements are possible using the KLH96 and KH70 bone conductors.
Conclusion
EHF BC measurements are reliable when using the KLH96 and KH70 bone conductors. The extended force sensitivity of the used artificial mastoid should be determined for a proper EHF BC calibration.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2022.2034059

Vibrant soundbridgeRésumé : Objective
The Vibrant Soundbridge (VSB) is one of the most widely used implantable hearing devices. It consists of a vibrating floating mass transducer (FMT) that is connected to a middle ear structure. The standard coupling devices for sensorineural hearing loss are short process (SP) or long process (LP) couplers.
Design and study sample
This study directly compared the electro-mechanical performance of the SP- and LP-coupled FMT of the VSB in the same temporal bone specimen (n = 10). We measured velocity magnitudes and total harmonic distortions (THD) of the stapes (ST) and the round window (RW) using laser Doppler Vibrometry (LDV).
Results
Comparison shows a maximally 10 dB higher magnitude for the LP coupler at ST and RW for frequencies below 600 Hz, whereas the SP coupler shows a maximally 20 dB higher magnitude at the ST and RW for frequencies above 600 Hz. THD show similar behaviour with less distortion at 500 Hz for the LP coupler and less distortions for the SP coupler in higher frequencies.
Conclusions
Our experiments showed that the SP coupling may be mechanically favourable, in terms of magnitude and distortion, for the transmission of FMT vibrations at higher frequencies.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2022.2031317

Adulte ; Aides auditives ; Ethnies ; Inégalité ; Santé auditiveRésumé : Objective
To establish whether ethnic inequalities exist in levels of self-reported hearing difficulty and hearing aid use among middle-aged adults.
Design
Cross-sectional data from the UK Biobank resource.
Study sample
164,460 participants aged 4069 who answered hearing questions at an assessment centre in England or Wales.
Results
After taking into account objectively assessed hearing performance and a corresponding correction for bias in non-native English speakers, as well as a range of correlates including demographic, socioeconomic, and health factors, there were lower levels of hearing aid use for people from Black African (OR 0.36, 95% CI 0.170.77), Black Caribbean (OR 0.38, 95% CI 0.220.65) and Indian (OR 0.60, 95% CI 0.410.86) ethnic groups, compared to the White British or Irish group. Men from most ethnic minority groups and women from Black African, Black Caribbean and Indian groups were less likely to report hearing difficulty than their White British or Irish counterparts.
Conclusions
For equivalent levels of hearing loss, the use of hearing aids is lower among ethnic minority groups. Inequalities are partly due to lower levels of self-reported hearing difficulty among minority groups. However, even when self-reported hearing difficulty is considered, hearing aid use remains lower among many ethnic minority groups.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www-tandfonline-com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2021.2009131

Acceptable Noise Level (ANL) ; Mesure acoustique ; Traitement audiologiqueRésumé : Objective
This study used the multi-level Tracking of Noise Tolerance (TNT) test to compare Augmented Focus (AF) or split processing over non-AF processing with adaptive directionality (non-AF-dirm) and with an omnidirectional microphone (non-AF-omni).
Design
This was a single-blind, within-subject repeated measures design.
Study sample
Nineteen listeners with a mild-to-moderate hearing loss. The listeners task was to determine their tolerable noise level (TNL) in the sound-field at four fixed speech levels (i.e. 62, 68, 75, and 85 dB SPL) in the unaided condition and the different aided conditions. The speech passages were presented from 0° while a continuous speech-shaped noise was presented from 180°. Each condition was tested twice, each in a different counterbalanced order.
Results
AF improved TNL by an average of 2.9 dB over non-AF-dirm. Adaptive directionality improved the aided TNL by 4.7 dB over the non-AF-omni condition. The unaided TNL was similar to the aided non-AF-omni TNL. Whereas a stable TNL was reached in 2030 s for non-AF-dirm, it took AF Conclusions
This study shows that AF allowed 2.9 dB of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) improvement over that of non-AF-dirm and 7.6 dB over the aided non-AF-omni condition.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www-tandfonline-com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2021.2022789

Audition bimodale ; Implant cochléaire unilatéral ; Intelligibilité vocale ; VocodeurRésumé : Objective
Speech reception thresholds (SRTs) in spatial scenarios were measured in simulated cochlear implant (CI) listeners with either contralateral normal hearing, or aided hearing impairment (bimodal), and compared to SRTs of real patients, who were measured using the exact same paradigm, to assess goodness of simulation.
Design
CI listening was simulated using a vocoder incorporating actual CI signal processing and physiologic details of electric stimulation on one side. Unprocessed signals or simulation of aided moderate or profound hearing impairment was used contralaterally. Three spatial speech-in-noise scenarios were tested using virtual acoustics to assess spatial release from masking (SRM) and combined benefit.
Study sample
Eleven normal-hearing listeners participated in the experiment.
Results
For contralateral normal and aided moderately impaired hearing, bilaterally assessed SRTs were not statistically different from unilateral SRTs of the better ear, indicating better-ear-listening. Combined benefit was only found for contralateral profound impaired hearing. As in patients, SRM was highest for contralateral normal hearing and decreased systematically with more severe simulated impairment. Comparison to actual patients showed good reproduction of SRTs, SRM, and better-ear-listening.
Conclusions
The simulations reproduced better-ear-listening as in patients and suggest that combined benefit in spatial scenes predominantly occurs when both ears show poor speech-in-noise performance.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www-tandfonline-com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2021.2015633

This study evaluated the influence of tinnitus and hearing loss on the functional status of military Service members and Veterans.
Design
Participants completed audiologic testing and self-report instruments to assess tinnitus, hearing, and general functioning. We conducted multiple linear regression analyses using cross-sectional data with functional status as the dependent variable. The primary independent variables were tinnitus and average low-, high-, and extended high-frequency hearing thresholds. Secondary independent variables were subjective tinnitus severity and hearing difficulties. Each of the independent variables was modelled separately for Service members and Veterans; covariates for each multivariable model were identified a priori and, depending on the association being modelled, included age, gender, blast-wave exposure, and history of military traumatic brain injury.
Study Sample
Data were analysed from 283 Service members and 390 Veterans.
Results
After controlling for potential confounders, presence of tinnitus, tinnitus severity, average low-frequency hearing thresholds, and subjective hearing difficulties were significantly associated with functional status in Service members and Veterans.
Conclusions
These results suggest that tinnitus and poorer low-frequency hearing, and the perceived severity of tinnitus and hearing difficulties, may be associated with poorer functional status among Service members and Veterans.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www-tandfonline-com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2021.2017494

Adulte ; Aides auditives ; Dépistage auditif ; ÉpidémiologieRésumé : Objective
Among a representative sample of adults aged 50 years and older too (i) determine the prevalence of hearing loss, (ii) evaluate probable causes and risk factors of hearing loss, and (iii) assess the association between hearing loss measured by audiometry and self-report.
Design
A population-based survey of adults aged 50 and older in Santiago, Chile using the Rapid Assessment of Hearing Loss (RAHL) survey.
Study sample
538 participants completed a questionnaire, which included questions on socio-demographic and health characteristics and self-reported hearing loss. Hearing and possible cause of hearing loss was assessed using pure tone audiometry (0.54.0 kHz), tympanometry, and otoscopy.
Results
The prevalence of any level of hearing loss in adults aged 50 years and older was 41% (95% CI 33.2, 49.2). In terms of aetiologies, 89.3% of ears with mild or worse hearing loss were classified as sensorineural. Otoscopy was abnormal in 10.7% of subjects with impacted earwax being the most common finding (4.4%) followed by chronic otitis media (3.5%). Hearing aid usage was 16.6%. Older age, lower socioeconomic position, lack of education, and solvent exposure were significantly associated with hearing loss.
Conclusion
Hearing loss among individuals aged over 50 years was common in Santiago, Chile.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www-tandfonline-com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2021.1998675

We aimed to update the prevalence estimates of hearing loss in older adults in England using a nationally representative sample of adults aged 50 years old and older.
Design
A comparative cross-sectional study design was implemented. Hearing loss was defined as ≥35 dB HL at 3.0 kHz, as measured via Hearcheck in the better-hearing ear.
Study sample
We compared the estimates based on the English census in 2015 to estimates from psychoacoustic hearing data available for 8,263 participants in the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ELSA) Wave 7 (20142015).
Results
Marked regional variability in hearing loss prevalence was revealed among participants with similar age profiles. The regional differences in hearing outcomes reached up to 13.53% in those belonging to the 7180 years old group; the prevalence of hearing loss was 49.22% in the North East of England (95%CI 48.050.4), versus 35.69% in the South East (95%CI 34.836.50).
Conclusion
A socio-spatial approach in planning sustainable models of hearing care based on the actual populations needs and not on age demographics might offer a viable opportunity for healthier lives. Regular assessment of the extent and causality of the populations different audiological needs within the country is strongly supported.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www-tandfonline-com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2021.2022791

Difference interauriculaireMots-clés: Différence interaurale de niveau ; Différence interaurale de temps Résumé : Objective
Localisation of low- and high-frequency sounds in single-sided deaf cochlear implant users was investigated using noise stimuli designed to mitigate monaural localisation cues.
Design
Within subject design. Sound source localisation was tested in the horizontal plane using an array of seven loudspeakers along the azimuthal angle span from −90° to +90°. Stimuli were broadband noise and high- and low-frequency noise.
Study sample
Twelve adult subjects with single-sided deafness participated in the study. All had normal hearing in the healthy ear and were supplied with a cochlear implant (CI) in their deaf ear.
Results
With broadband noise, the mean angular localisation error was 39° in aided condition as compared to a median angular error of 83.6° when the speech processor was not worn. For high-frequency noise, the median angular error was 30° and for low-frequency noise, it was 46° in the CI-aided condition.
Conclusions
Single-sided deaf CI users show the best sound localisation for high-frequency sounds. This supports the view that interaural level differences are dominant for sound localisation in these listeners. Nonetheless, a limited ability to localise low-frequency sounds was observed, which may be based on the supportive perception of interaural time differences.Disponible en ligne : Non En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www-tandfonline-com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2022.2030496

Analyse ; Dépistage auditif ; Pays en voie de développement ; ThaïlandeRésumé : Objective
To analyse the cost-effectiveness (CE) of implementing different newborn hearing screening protocols in a low- to middle-income country.
Design
A decision analytical model with a 78-year time horizon.
Study sample
Direct medical, direct non-medical and indirect costs were collected from 126 subjects in southern Thailand. Various protocols involving universal newborn hearing screening (UNHS) and targeted newborn hearing screening (TNHS), using two technologies, namely automated otoacoustic emissions (aOAEs) and automated auditory brainstem responses (aABRs), were evaluated. Incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICERs) were calculated for all protocols in United States dollars (US$)/quality-adjusted life year (QALY) gained. Also, probabilistic sensitivity analyses with 1000 trials for each specific protocol were performed.
Results
The ICERs of UNHS with aOAE, UNHS with aABR, TNHS with aABR and UNHS with optimised baseline parameters were 3702, 3545, 1545 and 2483 US$/QALY gained, respectively. With the CE threshold of 5000 US$/QALY gained, the chances of ICERs to be cost-effective for UNHS with aOAE, UNHS with aABR, TNHS with aABR and UNHS with optimised baseline parameters were 72, 77, 93 and 94%, respectively.
Conclusions
All screening protocols were considered as cost-effective, and a very high chance of being cost-effective for UNHS could be achieved when certain baseline parameters were optimised.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www-tandfonline-com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2021.2014072
Titre : Evaluation of home-delivered live-voice auditory training for adult hearing aid users involving their communication partners: a randomised controlled trial (2023) Auteurs : Stephanie C.

Aides auditives ; Entrainement auditif ; Perception auditive ; Perception de la paroleRésumé : Objective
To examine the benefits of home-delivered auditory training for adult hearing aid users using live-voice conversations in the presence of a single-talker distractor (experimental group) or in quiet (active-control group).
Design
Randomised controlled trial. The experimental group held conversations with their nominated communication partner in the presence of a single-talker distractor set to a challenging level, 30 min/day, 5 days/week over 4 weeks. The active-control group held comparable conversations in quiet. Behavioural outcome measures of speech-in-noise perception, cognition and self-reported hearing difficulties were assessed pre- and post-training. Participant feedback was obtained.
Study sample
Thirty-nine hearing aid users (32 males, 7 females, mean age = 73.02 years, SD = 4.71 years) and their communication partners.
Results
The experimental group significantly improved and outperformed the active-control group for words-in-noise perception. Both groups achieved improvements in self-reported hearing difficulty while only the experimental group improved on dual-task. Subjectively, both groups found live-voice conversations beneficial and reported increased concentration and listening skills.
Conclusions
Home-delivered live-voice auditory training with communication partners shows potential to improve outcomes for adult hearing aid users, regardless of the presence or absence of a competing speech distractor. Further research is required to assess mechanisms of benefit and distractor effects within carefully controlled experiments.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www-tandfonline-com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2021.2005834
