Filter by:The majority of children's everyday activities need balance, which is the complex ability to maintain, obtain, or restore the condition of balance of the body when a child is standing still, getting ready to move, or getting ready to stop moving. Integration of several sensory, motor, and biomechanical inputs is necessary for balance. Nonetheless, alterations in certain sensory systems (such as visual, somatosensory, and vestibular) may result in imbalances inside the body. Previous research has demonstrated that children and adolescents with hearing impairments are more likely to experience balance and/or motor deficits as a result of vestibular system damage, which increases their risk of developing motor and balance issues. Additionally, research has demonstrated a link between hearing loss and a higher risk of all-cause death, maybe through physical activity-related factors including balance and mobility. Combining maze control training with traditional physical therapy's proprioceptive exercises tests your balance and improves your stability overall.
This is a single-group clinical trial to evaluate the performance of the EarGenie minimum viable product (MVP) in normal hearing infants. The EarGenie MVP tests for detection and discrimination of sounds will be administered, and the sensitivity and specificity of the tests will be estimated for a range of sound levels (detection) and speech sound contrasts (discrimination).
Assessment of children by speech auditory brainstem response which is an objective method to study the speech development
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate safety and preliminary efficacy of a novel device (EarGenie MVP) to assess hearing function in infants, using a small number of infants with normal hearing. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is our device safe? - Does the device provide preliminary results consistent with previous results from a commercial functional Near Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) research device? Participants will attend one test session and have their hearing assessed with the EarGenie MVP device.
During the Coronavirus pandemic children's hearing services are closed or reduced and grommet operations are part of the lowest priority group. In the absence of management options, this research study aims to see if bone conduction headphones either paired (via bluetooth) to a microphone or an app will help children with a hearing loss during this period of waiting. The child's quality of life is measured with validated questionnaires The study is over 3 months, and delivered remotely, with the product being sent to the family home and support offered via telephone/ video consulattion.
The majority of studies about bimodal hearing advantages have been conducted on adults but scant relevant studies into pediatric users, therefore more comparative studies are required to compare the effect of bimodal stimulation to unilateral cochlear implant use in children with severe to profound sensori-neural hearing loss .
The cochlear implant (CI) is the most important progress in the treatment for adults and children with severe to profound bilateral sensorineural hearing loss who do not receive adequa¬te benefit from hearing aids and making possible better results in auditory, linguistic, social and academic development.
All children with hearing loss should have access to resources necessary to reach their maximum potential. The following principles provide the foundation for effective EHDI[Early Hearing Detection & Intervention] systems and have been updated and expanded since the 2000 JCIH [ joint Committee on Infant Hearing ] position statement .
