OBJECTIVES: To compare speech perception (SP) in noise for normal-hearing (NH) individuals and individuals with hearing loss (IWHL) and to demonstrate improvements in SP with use of a visual speech recognition program (VSRP).
Hearing impairment (HI) is a common sensory disorder that is defined as the partial or complete inability to detect sound in one or both ears. This diverse pathology is associated with a myriad of phenotypic expressions and can be non-syndromic or sy...
We propose a machine learning (ML)-based model for predicting cochlear dead regions (DRs) in patients with hearing loss of various etiologies. Five hundred and fifty-five ears from 380 patients (3,770 test samples) diagnosed with sensorineural hearin...

BACKGROUND: Hearing Aids amplify sounds at certain frequencies to help patients, who have hearing loss, to improve the quality of life. Variables affecting hearing improvement include the characteristics of the patients' hearing loss, the characteris...
PURPOSE: To determine dosimetric factors predictive of hearing loss in vestibular schwannoma (VS) patients treated with definitive fractionated stereotactic radiation therapy (FSRT), and to report tumor control, serviceable hearing preservation, and ...
Age-related hearing loss (HL) and sarcopenia (ARS) are prevalent geriatric syndromes sharing common risk factors. This study aimed to identify shared biomarkers and elucidate convergent pathogenic mechanisms. Transcriptomic datasets were obtained fro...
PURPOSE: hearing loss relies on pure-tone audiometry (PTA); however, audiograms are often stored as unstructured images, limiting their integration into electronic medical records (EMRs) and common data models (CDMs). This study developed a deep lear...
