  2. 11. Children with congenital unilateral sensorineural hearing loss : etiology, newborn diagnostics, and hearing aid amplification

    Author : Marlin Johansson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Congenital unilateral sensorineural hearing loss (uSNHL) comprises about 25% of the sensorineural hearing losses (SNHLs) found through newborn hearing screening (NHS) programs. Even if children with congenital uSNHL struggle in school and everyday listening situations, studies on etiology, hearing aid (HA) outcomes and intervention are few, so it is still unknown when and how intervention is optimally provided.

  4. 12. The Human Cochlea and Cochlear Implantation : Morphological Characteristics and Clinical Correlations

    Author : Nadine Schart-Morén; Helge Rask-Andersen; Elina Mäki-Torkko; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cochlear implantation; micro-CT; synchrotron; facial nerve stimulation; hearing preservation; round window;

    Abstract : The most common sensory deficit in the world is sensorineural hearing loss. Cochlear implantation (CI) can majorly contribute to restore hearing, not only in patients with severe to profound hearing loss, but also in hearing-impaired patients with residual low-frequency hearing.

  5. 13. Ear and hearing problems in Turner syndrome

    Author : Annika Elmqvist Stenberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Turner syndrome; tympanic membrane pathology; hearing loss; otitis media; estrogen receptors; presbyacusis; immunology; mouse; rat; human; cochlea; psychosocial; audiometric testing.;

    Abstract : Turner Syndrome is a common chromosomal disorder and affects approximately one in every 2000 newborn girl. The syndrome is defined as a total (45,X) or partial loss of the second sex chromosome in combination with the typical characteristic features, which are short stature (less than 150 cm), absent estrogen production due to ovarian dysgenesis, with failure to enter puberty spontaneously and infertility.

  6. 14. Perspectives on screening strategies for early detection of childhood hearing impairment

    Author : Allison Mackey; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The aims of this thesis were to assess the status of childhood hearing screening programmes, primarily in Europe, and to evaluate their performance against the parameters that make up a childhood hearing screening programme, such as test method, protocol, location, screening professional, and age of the infant at screening. Studies I, III and III were ecological studies within the EUSCREEN project. READ MORE

  7. 15. Hearing in children with cleft palate

    Author : Birgitta Tengroth; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Objective: The overall aim of this thesis was to collect longitudinal information about hearing thresholds and complications due to otitis media with effusion (OME) in children with cleft palate. Since OME is highly prevalent in children with cleft palate, many authors have hypothesized that the hearing loss associated to OME contributes to the delayed development of early speech and language often seen in these children.
