Filter by:The goal of this observational study is to learn about sensory loss in hospital patients with delirium. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Are hearing and vision loss related to increased risk of having delirium? - Do hearing and vision loss contribute to more severe delirium? - Do sensory loss and/or delirium affect patient satisfaction with hospital care? Participants will be asked to: - answer delirium screening questions, - undergo hearing & vision screenings, and - complete questionnaires about the hospital stay. The second part of this study is a clinical trial. Researchers will compare different hospital units to see if changing communication affects the number of patients with delirium. The main questions it aims to answer are: • Does sharing information about communication and/or providing hearing devices change the number of hospital patients with delirium? Participants in the study will be asked to complete delirium screenings and answer questions about their hearing and communication.
This study is looking at a method called 'ABR', which measures the electrical activity in the brain (brain waves) when we hear sounds. This study will look at the electrical activity in participants brains in response to high-pitched sounds. First, the investigators will find the quietest sounds the participants can hear. Then the investigators will use 'ABR' to measure the quietest sounds that trigger electrical activity in participants brains'. This is to find out if there is a difference between the quietest sounds participants can hear, and the quietest sounds that trigger these brain waves. We are also interested in finding out if having a hearing loss affects this.
Considering the extent to which HAs play a role in sound perception and residual hearing preservation among patients with tinnitus and co-existing HL remains a lack of compelling extensive evidence, investigators designed this single-blind, 6-months randomized, controlled trial with two parallel groups. One is the HA treatment group, and the other is the waiting list control (WLC) group which receives no interventions during this period.
Difficulties understanding speech in noisy environments repeatedly coincide with high-frequency hearing loss. This complaint is commonly exhibited in adults in middle/older age who have a history of noise exposure. In this study, an immersive audiomotor training game will be utilized to drive improvements in speech intelligibility, controlled by an auditory memory training game. Physiological measures will be tracked that could inform clinical assessment of hearing in noise abilities.
The purpose of this study is to determine if adults and children with residual low-pitch hearing in the severe hearing loss range can develop improved speech perception by combining their residual acoustic hearing with electrical stimulation through a short cochlear implant. The low-pitches would be amplified with a hearing aid and the high-pitch sounds would be stimulated electrically.
