The Spanish 12-item version of the Speech, Spatial and Qualities of Hearing scale (Sp-SSQ12): adaptation, reliability, and discriminant validity for people with and without hearing loss
(Taylor and Francis, 2020)
version of the Speech, Spatial and Qualities of Hearing 12 items scale (sp-SSQ12), adapted from the published Spanish SSQ49, and to provide reference data for normal and hearing-impaired populations. Methods The SSQ12 is a self-report questionnaire...
Changes in audiometric thresholds before, during and after attacks of vertigo associated with Meniere's syndrome
(2009)
Conclusion: No significant changes in hearing thresholds were observed during vertigo attacks associated with Meniere's disease. Objectives: To determine if the hearing alters during the period of the attacks of vertigo in Meniere's disease...
Self-reported hearing performance in workers exposed to solvents
(2013)
OBJECTIVE: To compare hearing performance relating to the peripheral and central auditory system between solvent-exposed and non-exposed workers. METHODS: Forty-eight workers exposed to a mixture of solvents and 48 nonexposed control subjects...
Subclinical hearing loss associated with aging
(Elsevier, 2023)
Objective
Contribute to clarifying the existence of subclinical hearing deficits associated with aging....
Design: In this work, we study and compare the auditory perceptual and electrophysiological performance of normal-hearing young and adult subjects (tonal audiometry, high-frequency tone threshold, a triplet of digits in noise, and click...
Study sample: 45 normal hearing volunteers were evaluated and divided into two groups according to age. 27 subjects were included in the “young group” (mean), and 18 subjects (mean) were included in the “adult group.”...
Results: In the perceptual tests, the adult group presented significantly worse tonal thresholds in the high frequencies (12 and 16 kHz) and worse performance in the digit triplet tests in noise. In the electrophysiological test using the auditory brainstem response technique, the adult group presented significantly lower I and V wave amplitudes and higher V wave latencies at the supra-threshold level. At the threshold level, we observed a significantly higher latency in wave V in the adult group. In addition, in the partial correlation analysis, controlling for the hearing level, we observed a relationship (negative) between age and speech in noise performance and high-frequency thresholds. No significant association was observed between age and the auditory brainstem response....
Conclusion: The results are compatible with subclinical hearing loss associated with aging....

Universal screening program and early intervention (USPEI) in congenital bilateral sensorineural hearing loss in Chile Programa de tamizaje universal e intervención precoz (PTUIP) en hipoacusia sensorioneural bilateral congénita. Tarea pendiente desde la
(2013)
Congenital hearing loss is the total or partial inability to hear sounds through the ears. It is the most common disability in newborns in Chile and worldwide, and is a permanent condition. The direct impact on children who are not adequately...
Improving clinical outcomes in cochlear implantation using glucocorticoid therapy: A review
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2020)
Cochlear implant surgery is a successful procedure for auditory rehabilitation of patients with severe to profound hearing loss. However, cochlear implantation may lead to damage to the inner ear, which decreases residual hearing and alters...
Adaptation of the Amsterdam inventory for auditory disability and handicap into Spanish
(2012)
Purpose: Self-report questionnaires have been suggested as valuable assessment tools in audiology, especially when investigating the effect of hearing impairment on the everyday lives of adults. Many self-report questionnaires have been developed...
Adaptation of the "active communication education" programme into Spanish for older adults with hearing loss
(Taylor & Francis, 2020)
Objective: To adapt the Active Communication Education (ACE) programme into Spanish. In addition, this study aimed at determining the effects of the adapted ACE programme on the social/emotional impacts of hearing loss and hearing functioning in a...
Acute deafness: a rare complication of shunting
(Elsevier, 2018-05)
BACKGROUND: Mild hearing loss following shunting has been described; however, severe auditory impairment associated with ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt is an uncommon, rarely reported phenomenon. Treatment options and pathophysiologic...
