Introduction: As otology enters the field of gene therapy and human studies commence, the question arises whether audiograms - the current gold standard for the evaluation of hearing function - can consistently predict cellular damage within the human inne ...
The occlusion effect refers to the altered perception of one's own voice when the ear canal is fully or partially obstructed. Conventional countermeasures include the use of large vent bores or open fittings on the one hand and fittings reaching as deep as ...

Animal models of hearing loss and tinnitus observe pathological neural activity in the tonotopic frequency maps of the primary auditory cortex. Here, we applied ultra high-field fMRI at 7 T to test whether human patients with unilateral hearing loss and ti ...

Tinnitus is the chronic perception of ringing or other phantom sounds. Some tinnitus patients addi- tionally suffer from loudness hyperacusis that is the over-sensitivity to environmental sounds. Here, we recruited eight patients with unilateral hearing lo ...

This research addresses the challenge of incorporating dynamic range limiting of the magnitude response of HRTFs for hearing-impaired listeners who are using binaural hearing aids. In this application, a direct implementation of spatialization using the or ...
There is provided a hearing assistance system, comprising a transmission unit (10) comprising a microphone arrangement (17) for capturing audio signals from a voice of a speaker ( 11 ) using the transmission unit and being adapted to transmit the audio sig ...
The occurrence of standing waves in room dramatically affects the sound rendering in the low-frequency range ([20-200 Hz]), and solutions of the state-of-the-art are incapable to damp such modes over the whole low-frequency band. This talk will present a n ...
In this paper we present the design of a temperature compensated low-tune-voltage-sensitive CMOS ring oscillator in 40nm standard CMOS technology. The oscillator has an overall frequency range from 3.1 GHz to 3.6 GHz. The effect of temperature variations o ...
MEMS microphones, since their first introduction in 1983 have achieved a high commercial success due to their compatibility with MEMS and IC integration, small footprint and immunity to vibrational effects. There are around one billion microphones in produ ...
The ability of nanosecond pulsed DBD actuators to control flow separation was investigated on a NACA 0015 profile for velocities reaching Re = 230,000 (24 m/s). The optimal location for the actuator was determined from oil flow experiments. Moderate voltag ...
