Summary
Cochlear implants may restore auditory feedback loops in adults with post-lingual hearing loss. Long-term average speech spectra (LTASS) analysis shows cochlear implant users have similar speech sound patterns to normal-hearing individuals.
Area of Science:
- Audiology
- Speech-Language Pathology
- Biomedical Engineering
Background:
- Long-term average speech spectra (LTASS) is a valuable voice analysis tool.
- Post-lingual hearing loss can negatively impact the auditory feedback loop.
- Cochlear implantation is a potential intervention for auditory feedback issues.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the LTASS in post-lingual hearing loss patients using cochlear implants.
- To compare LTASS findings between cochlear implant users and normal-hearing subjects.
Main Methods:
- Assessed LTASS in 24 cochlear implant users.
- Compared LTASS results with a control group of normal-hearing individuals.
Main Results:
- Cochlear implant users demonstrated LTASS patterns comparable to normal-hearing subjects.
- No significant differences were observed in LTASS between the two groups.
Conclusions:
- Cochlear implantation appears to effectively restore the auditory feedback loop in post-lingual hearing loss.
- LTASS is a viable method for assessing auditory feedback recovery after cochlear implantation.

When solids, liquids, or condensed gases are heated sufficiently, they radiate some of the excess energy as light. Photons produced in this manner have a range of energies, and thereby produce a continuous spectrum in which an unbroken series of wavelengths is present.

The importance of understanding acceleration spans our day-to-day experiences, as well as the vast reaches of outer space and the tiny world of subatomic physics. In everyday conversation, to accelerate means to speed up. For instance, we are familiar with the acceleration of our car; the harder we apply our foot to the gas pedal, the faster we accelerate. The greater the acceleration, the greater the change in velocity over a given time. Acceleration is widely seen in experimental physics. In...

To calculate the other physical quantities in kinematics, we must introduce the time variable. The time variable allows us not only to state the position of the object during its motion, but also how fast it is moving. The speed at which an object is moving is given by the rate at which the position changes with time. For each position xi, we assign a particular time ti. If the details of the motion at each instant are not important, the rate is usually expressed as the average velocity. This...

01:17Average Value of a Function
70
The average value of a function over a closed interval can be interpreted geometrically as the height of a rectangle whose area equals the net area under the curve across that interval. This net area accounts for both positive and negative contributions of the function, providing a single representative value that reflects the function’s overall behaviorA practical illustration of this idea arises when monitoring the temperature inside a greenhouse over a twenty-four-hour period. Although...

01:13Average Power
1.1K
In practical electrical applications, the concept of time-varying instantaneous power is not frequently utilized. Instead, focus shifts to the more practical quantity known as average power. Average power is determined by integrating the instantaneous power over a specified time period and subsequently dividing it by that duration.

Long-term depression, or LTD, is one of the ways by which synaptic plasticity—changes in the strength of chemical synapses—can occur in the brain. LTD is the process of synaptic weakening that occurs over time between pre and postsynaptic neuronal connections. The synaptic weakening of LTD works in opposition to synaptic strengthening by long-term potentiation (LTP) and together are the main mechanisms that underlie learning and memory.
