Monitoring Children With Hearing Fluctuation

Validation of the Chinese Sound Test: Auditory Performance of Hearing Aid Users

“…First, the participants' degree of hearing loss varied from mild to profound; it is difficult for individuals with more severe hearing loss to perceive speech without wearing hearing aids, even when the speaker is very close (Anderson & Matkin, 2007). Second, in addition to unaided testing conditions, the Ling Six-Sound Test and Chinese Sound Test are often used to monitor hearing aids or cochlear implant function to ensure optimal amplification (Lin & Hung, 2017;Ling, 2012). The knowledge gained from comparisons between aided thresholds could therefore be directly applied to the care of individual's hearing.…”

The evolution of children hearing loss: Research progress on recent trends and advances

“…Inside the cochlea, in the inner ear, sound waves are converted into electrochemical signals that are transmitted to the brain. The inner ear is involved in hearing and balance [4].Hearing loss can be divided into three categories, namely sensorineural hearing loss, conductive hearing loss and mixed hearing loss. Developmental defects in the external and middle ears can lead to conductive hearing loss [4].Cerumen impactive, otitis media and otosclerosis can lead to conductive hearing loss.…”

“…[6]. Besides, developmental defects in the inner ear can lead to sensorineural hearing loss [4]. Most patients with this type of infection are adults.…”
