Reliable Web-Based Auditory Cognitive Testing: Observational Study

Reliable Web-Based Auditory Cognitive Testing: Observational Study

People with severe hearing loss who may depend on hearing aids may not be able to physically accommodate headphones easily, as listening without hearing aids may need to compensate for individual hearing impairments [8]. Some researchers have expressed concerns about the population being sampled from web-based databases [9]. Participants tend to be less representative of local populations.

Automated Detection of Neurodevelopmental Disorders Using Face-to-Face Mobile Technology Among Typically Developing Greek Children: Randomized Controlled Trial

Automated Detection of Neurodevelopmental Disorders Using Face-to-Face Mobile Technology Among Typically Developing Greek Children: Randomized Controlled Trial

Child development refers to a child’s growth, in speech, language, hearing, psychomotor, cognitive, and psychoemotional domains [1]. Speech and language development involves verbal and nonverbal communication skills [1]. Speech development refers to a child’s capacity to speak and communicate, starting from infancy with cooing and babbling and leading to single words, phrases, and sentences as the infant matures. It includes voice, articulation, and fluency [1,2].

Exploring the Performance of ChatGPT-4 in the Taiwan Audiologist Qualification Examination: Preliminary Observational Study Highlighting the Potential of AI Chatbots in Hearing Care

Exploring the Performance of ChatGPT-4 in the Taiwan Audiologist Qualification Examination: Preliminary Observational Study Highlighting the Potential of AI Chatbots in Hearing Care

AI chatbots have shown immense potential in hearing health care, aiding patients, clinicians, and researchers. Their applications range from initial screenings, educational support, and teleaudiology services for patients, to data analysis and decision support for clinicians and researchers [19]. In countries with vast geographical areas and imbalanced hearing care resources, AI chatbots could significantly enhance the development of hearing care services.

Authors’ Response to Peer Reviews of “Cross-Modal Sensory Boosting to Improve High-Frequency Hearing Loss: Device Development and Validation”

Authors’ Response to Peer Reviews of “Cross-Modal Sensory Boosting to Improve High-Frequency Hearing Loss: Device Development and Validation”

For the audiometric data, how many participants provided their test results from a doctor of audiology or hearing health care professional? How many provided results from the mobile app? Is it possible to confirm that all participants had sensorineural hearing loss and not mixed or conductive hearing loss? Response: A total of 7 participants provided 2 audiograms from the online assessments (a Mimi hearing assessment), and 9 provided audiograms from an audiologist.

Cross-Modal Sensory Boosting to Improve High-Frequency Hearing Loss: Device Development and Validation

HL: hearing loss. Demographic data. a Audiogram source indicates where the audiogram originated from. Audiologist indicates the audiogram was measured by an audiologist, and mobile app indicates the participant provided two audiograms measured by the Mimi and Hearing & Ear Age Test mobile apps. b Decibels of hearing loss at 7 pure tones in the left and right ears. Hearing loss values are measured without cochlear implants or hearing aids.

An Initial Validation of Community-Based Air-Conduction Audiometry in Adults With Simulated Hearing Impairment Using a New Web App, DigiBel: Validation Study

An Initial Validation of Community-Based Air-Conduction Audiometry in Adults With Simulated Hearing Impairment Using a New Web App, DigiBel: Validation Study

Over 5% of the world’s population, approximately 430 million people worldwide, have disabling hearing loss; 34 million of these are children [1]. The main causes of hearing loss in adulthood are age-related hearing loss, noise-related hearing loss, and hearing loss due to chronic otitis media. In children, the most common cause of hearing impairment is otitis media with effusion, also known as “glue ear”. Approximately 80% of primary school children in the United States and Europe experience glue ear [2].

Assessing the Usefulness of Mobile Apps for Noise Management in Occupational Health and Safety: Quantitative Measurement and Expert Elicitation Study

Assessing the Usefulness of Mobile Apps for Noise Management in Occupational Health and Safety: Quantitative Measurement and Expert Elicitation Study

More than 1.5 billion people worldwide live with varying degrees of hearing loss, with nearly 500 million living with severe hearing loss [1]. Nearly 16% of these adults have severe hearing loss as a result of occupational noise exposure [2]. In Australia, over 111,000 people have occupational noise-induced hearing loss (ONIHL) [3], resulting in a loss of 62,218 quality-adjusted life years and 135,561 productivity-adjusted life years.
