Hearing

57.3K
When we hear a sound, our nervous system is detecting sound waves—pressure waves of mechanical energy traveling through a medium. The frequency of the wave is perceived as pitch, while the amplitude is perceived as loudness.

Non-ohmic Devices

1.5K
In most substances, the current flow is proportional to the voltage applied to it. A simple relationship between the values of current, voltage, and resistance is known as Ohm's law. Nonohmic devices do not exhibit a linear relationship between voltage and current. One such device is the semiconducting circuit element known as a diode. A diode is a circuit device that allows current flow in only one direction.
Consider a simple circuit consisting of a battery, a diode, and a resistor. A...

Mnemonic Devices

438
Mnemonic devices are cognitive tools that facilitate memory retention by linking new information to familiar patterns or organizational strategies. These techniques are beneficial for remembering complex or lengthy sets of information by simplifying and structuring them in easily retrievable ways.
Acronyms
Acronyms are created by using the initial letters of a series of words to form a new word or phrase. This approach condenses complex information into a single, memorable entity. For example,...

Design Example: Identifying the Locations of Monuments in the Field Using Global Positioning System Device

410
Surveyors use Global Positioning System (GPS) technology to measure the precise location and elevation of points on Earth. In a recent survey, GPS receivers were used to determine the coordinates and elevations of two park monuments. The process involved careful mission planning, data collection, and correction to ensure accuracy. The survey began with mission planning to identify optimal satellite visibility and minimize Position Dilution of Precision (PDOP). A geodetic control point...

Imaging Studies I: Kidney, Ureter, and Bladder Studies

374
Kidney, Ureter, and Bladder (KUB) StudiesKidney, Ureter, and Bladder (KUB) studies are standard diagnostic imaging procedures used to assess the anatomy of the urinary system. They are commonly utilized for patients experiencing abdominal pain or urinary symptoms. By using a simple X-ray of the abdomen, KUB studies can reveal structural and pathological abnormalities within the kidneys, ureters, and bladder. These studies are particularly valuable in diagnosing kidney stones, urinary...

Area of Science:

  • Otorhinolaryngology
  • Audiology
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Traditional hearing aids (HAs) may not satisfy all patients, and middle-ear implantation is an option for those unsatisfied with standard outcomes.
  • A transtympanic hearing aid (THA) offers a novel approach, bypassing the ossicular chain by coupling with a pre-implanted ventilation tube.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the preliminary audiological outcomes of a modified digital, open-fit external hearing aid (THA) designed for acute study.
  • To compare the performance of the THA against an equivalent standard hearing aid (Latitude 8 Moxi 13) in patients with pre-implanted ventilation tubes.

Main Methods:

  • 12 patients with moderate to severe conductive, sensorineural, or mixed hearing loss and a pre-implanted ventilation tube were assessed.
  • Audiological evaluation included warble tone and speech recognition tests comparing the THA and the Latitude 8 Moxi 13 (Moxi).

Main Results:

  • The THA demonstrated a significant improvement in warble tone results compared to the Moxi.
  • Patients with a pure-tone average (PTA) between 41 and 90 dB HL achieved better speech recognition with the THA than with the Moxi.

Conclusions:

  • These preliminary findings suggest potential benefits of the THA over standard open-fit hearing aids.
  • Further research is required to confirm these initial outcomes and the long-term efficacy of the THA.
