Initial validation results suggest that thresholds obtained with DuoTone are comparable to clinical audiometry (4 frequencies tested). The hearing app provides reliable hearing thresholds between 15 – 80 dB HL (12 frequencies tested) with a test-retest reliability comparable to clinical audiometry.
American Journal of AudiologyThe vast majority favorably judged the technology to be efficacious in enhancing provider-patient communicative interactions and easy to use. The beneficial effects of the smartphone technology were observed in both Spanish- and English-speaking patients.
Canadian AudiologistThe short answer: No, but the situation is complex. As this article explains, the key problem with the wireless Bluetooth protocol is latency—or the amount of time it takes to capture, process, amplify, and convey the signals wirelessly to the earbuds.
The Hearing ReviewThe main purpose of this study is to develop an HA-simulator and investigate the possible fitting range of this smartphone-based PSAP app equipped with a commercial headset, and to evaluate whether the aided outcome provides reasonable benefits for individuals with hearing loss by analyzing the Speechmap and speech intelligibility index.
Journal of Medical and Biological Engineeringhis study revealed that for some individuals with a mild-to-moderate high frequency hearing loss, the use of an amplifier app can result in enhanced listening performance—and even performance within normal limits in background noise.
The Hearing ReviewThe number of medical mobile phone applications continues to grow. Although otorhinolaryngology-specific applications represent a small proportion, there are exciting innovations emerging for the specialty. This article will assess the number of applications available and review how they may be used in clinical practice.
The Journal of Laryngology & OtologyIn this paper, we propose a Smartphone-based hearing assistive system to facilitate speech recognition for various target users, who could benefit from enhanced listening clarity in the classroom.
International Journal of Advance Scientific Research and Engineering TrendsIn this paper, we propose a Smartphone-based hearing assistive system to facilitate speech recognition for various target users, who could benefit from enhanced listening clarity in the classroom.
IEEE AccessProliferation of innovative technology and the advent of greater access to global connectivity are providing an opportunity to identify and harness new resources that may change current audiological service delivery methods to maximize access, efficiency and impact.
Disability and Rehabilitation: Assistive Technology, 9(5), 408-413A few weeks ago, I had a conversation with Brian Moore, PhD, and Richard Einhorn regarding multiple factors which influence the perceived quality of live versus recorded music.
The Hearing ReviewA closer examination of the facts and evidence surrounding the NASEM recommendations demonstrates that, while audiological care remains the ideal standard of care for hearing impaired adults, the risks associated with self-management of hearing problems may be significantly lower than the risks of allowing them to go untreated.
