Sensorineural hearing loss disorder

This study tested a new device called the CochSyn test prototype, which measures brain responses to sound to detect a type of hidden hearing loss called cochlear synaptopathy. The goal was to see if it could identify hearing problems earlier than standard hearing tests. The study…

This study looked at whether a special noise reduction feature in Phonak hearing aids helps adults with moderate hearing loss understand speech better in noisy settings. 21 participants tested the Phonak device and a competitor's device in a lab and a real cafe. They completed sp…

This study tested how well adults with a NeuroZti cochlear implant could hear and how satisfied they were with two different sound processors: the current Neu2 and a newer Nuc8. Four participants attended a single 3-hour visit to compare speech understanding at normal and soft vo…

This study looked at whether a brain wave test called mismatch negativity (MMN) can measure how well adult cochlear implant users can tell apart similar sounds. Researchers compared the brain wave results to a standard hearing test using made-up words (logatoms). The goal was to …
