Horwitz et al. (1986) documented the complaint of anxious learners who had difficulty discriminating foreign-language sounds and structures, giving the example of an anxious student who indicated hearing only the loud voice of his instructor.
However, this is consistent with our ABR threshold data that indicated hearing deficits over a broad frequency range, and with others who have shown non specific effects of noise trauma (Chen et al., 2013).
The average threshold levels at 0.5, 1, 2, and 4 kHz were used to indicate hearing ability.
The World Health Organization [ 1, 2] recently indicated hearing loss as the first among the twenty leading causes of moderate-to-severe disability in the adult population.
Mulder is called to the hospital and sees her, returning her cross necklace, where she indicates she heard his voice while in her coma.
These six aspects were: diagnosing hearing impairment; indicating a hearing aid; paying attention to medical, audiological and psychological complications; giving objective information about the impairment, treatment options and hearing aids; choice and fine-tuning of the hearing aid; and the quality of the ear moulds.
Some studies have indicated delayed hearing loss after surgery (Gstoettner et al. 2006; Luetje et al. 2007), whereas other studies have reported stable hearing in the operated ear (Skarzynski et al. 2007; Lenarz et al. 2009).
Of the Dutch population at least 2 million individuals suffer from some form of tinnitus, 340.000 individuals indicate to hear the tinnitus continuously and 60.000 individuals claim to be severely impaired in their daily activities [ 4].
Hearing related difficulties screen results were scored and based on the Hearing Handicap Inventory for the Elderly with a score ≥ 10 indicating a hearing difficulty [ 27], or a response of 'poor', very poor', or 'deaf', to an additional question of 'How would you rate your hearing (with your hearing aid on, if applicable)?'.
Hearing thresholds before and during DBS did not differ, indicating that hearing function is probably not impaired by electrical stimulation.
