Older individuals frequently experience hearing difficulties, often due to sensorineural hearing loss (HL) primarily originating in the inner ear. However, it is not uncommon for older adults with HL to also exhibit impairments in speech intelligibil...
According to the dual-source generation hypothesis, stimulus-frequency otoacoustic emissions (SFOAEs) and distortion-product OAEs (DPOAEs) arise from different cochlear mechanisms, and both are capable of characterizing hearing loss. However, their j...
This study aimed to establish a deep learning-based predictive model for the prognosis of idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL). Data from 1108 patients with SSNHL between January 2015 and May 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. Patien...
Hearing problems are commonly diagnosed with the use of tonal audiometry, which measures a patient's hearing threshold in both air and bone conduction at various frequencies. Results of audiometry tests, usually represented graphically in the form of...
BACKGROUND: Recessive GJB2 variants, the most common genetic cause of hearing loss, may contribute to progressive sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL). The aim of this study is to build a realistic predictive model for GJB2-related SNHL using machine le...
OBJECTIVE: Blood-labyrinthine barrier leakage has been reported in sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL). We compared immediate post-contrast 3D heavily T2-weighted fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR), T1 spin echo (SE), and 3D T1 gradien...
OBJECTIVES: This study aims to develop deep learning (DL) models for the quantitative prediction of hearing thresholds based on stimulus-frequency otoacoustic emissions (SFOAEs) evoked by swept tones.

BACKGROUND: Machine Learning models have been applied in various healthcare fields, including Audiology, to predict disease outcomes. The prognosis of sudden sensorineural hearing loss is difficult to predict due to the variable course of the disease...
Listeners with hearing loss often struggle to understand speech in noise, even with a hearing aid. To better understand the auditory processing deficits that underlie this problem, we made large-scale brain recordings from gerbils, a common animal mo...
