  5. 3. Effects of Specific Cochlear Pathologies on the Auditory Functions : Modelling, Simulations and Clinical Implications

    Author : Amin G. Saremi; Stefan Stenfelt; Steve Elliott; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : Auditory modeling; cochlear mechanics; sensorineural hearing impairment; age-related hearing loss; noise-induced hearing loss; inner ear pathologies;

    Abstract : A hearing impairment is primarily diagnosed by measuring the hearing thresholds at a range of auditory frequencies (air-conduction audiometry). Although this clinical procedure is simple, affordable, reliable and fast, it does not offer differential information about origins of the hearing impairment. READ MORE

  6. 4. Assessment of central auditory functions : methods and applications

    Author : Mathias Hällgren; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Central auditory processing is complex and can not be completely evaluated by a single method. This thesis focuses on assessment of some aspects of central auditory functions by the use of dichotic speech tests, cognitive tests that tax functions important for speech processing and electrophysiological tests.

  7. 5. Integrative Analyses of Perception and Reaction to Information and Warning Sounds in Vehicles

    Author : Anders Sköld; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Methods; Emotions; Physiological reactions; Mediation; Auditory Icons; Auditory Alerts; Sound Quality; MDU;

    Abstract : The aim of the present thesis is to establish procedures to connect different types of data on auditory perception. This knowledge will lead to both a better understanding of perception in general, but also more efficient and cost effective methods for analyzing auditory perception data. READ MORE
