Summary
A new website offering scientific content on listening effort was developed for speech-language therapists and audiologists. This resource was validated by professionals, confirming its high quality and online availability.
Area of Science:
- Health Sciences
- Audiology
- Speech-Language Pathology
Background:
- Permanent health education emphasizes continuous professional learning.
- Technology-mediated education is increasingly utilized in healthcare.
- Limited Brazilian research exists on listening effort (2017-2021).
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop an accessible, free online website focused on listening effort.
- To provide scientific content for Speech-Language Therapists and Audiologists.
Main Methods:
- A five-stage development process: Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Review.
- Content creation involved scientific material search and website design.
- Professional evaluation through a free and informed consent term was conducted.
Main Results:
- All five development stages were successfully completed.
- The website was evaluated by healthcare professionals.
- The website received an average rating of "superior" from evaluators.
Conclusions:
- The developed website is validated for online dissemination.
- This resource addresses a gap in accessible scientific information on listening effort.
- The project supports ongoing professional development in audiology and speech-language pathology.

01:15Auditory Pathway
5.4K
Auditory pathways constitute the complex neural circuits responsible for transmitting and interpreting auditory information from the peripheral auditory system to the brain. Sound waves are initially captured by the outer ear, funneled through the ear canal, and reach the tympanic membrane (eardrum). These vibrations are transmitted via the middle ear's ossicles to the inner ear's cochlea.

01:11Pulse Assessment Sites

Pulse assessment sites are crucial in evaluating a patient's cardiovascular health. By assessing the pulsations of arteries at specific anatomical locations, healthcare professionals can gather valuable information about blood flow, heart rate, and peripheral circulation. Understanding these pulse assessment sites is essential for conducting comprehensive cardiovascular evaluations and monitoring patients' overall health. These sites are strategically chosen due to the accessibility and...

01:01Perception of Sound Waves
4.4K
The human ear is not equally sensitive to all frequencies in the audible range. It may perceive sound waves with the same pressure but different frequencies as having different loudness. Moreover, the perception of sound waves depends on the health of an individual's ears, which decays with age. The health of one's ears may also be affected by regular exposure to loud noises.
The pitch of a sound depends on the frequency and the pressure amplitude of the source. Two sounds of the same...

01:17Sound as Pressure Waves
2.4K
Sound waves, which are longitudinal waves, can be modeled as the displacement amplitude varying as a function of the spatial and temporal coordinates. As a column of the medium is displaced, its successive columns are also displaced. As the successive displacements differ relatively, a pressure difference with the surrounding pressure is created. The gauge pressure varies across the medium.
The pressure fluctuation depends on the difference in displacements between the successive points in the...

00:53Sound Intensity Level
4.2K
Humans perceive sound by hearing. The human ear helps sound waves reach the brain, which then interprets the waves and creates the perception of hearing. The loudness of the environment in which a person is located determines whether they can distinguish between different sound sources.
The human ear can perceive an extensive range of sound intensity, necessitating the use of the logarithmic scale to define a physical quantity—the intensity level. It is a ratio of two intensities and...

01:16Anatomy of the Ear
8.2K
Auditory sensation, commonly called hearing, involves the transformation of sonic waves into neural impulses facilitated by the structures of the auditory organ. The prominent, flesh-like structure on the side of the head, called the auricle, directs sound waves towards the auditory canal. The auricle is often mislabeled as the pinna, a term more aligned with mobile structures like a feline's external ear. The auditory canal penetrates the cranium via the external auditory meatus of the...
