Music to Your Ears: Hearing Aids, Music, and Musicians Hearing Health & Technology Matters Music to your ears: hearing aids, music, and musicians Edited by Marshall Chasin, AuD The new e-Book series from Hearing Health & Technology Matters, LLC, organizes topics culled from the thousands of articles at HearingHealthMatters.org. The books have two purposes: 1) To allow our readers easy access to all relevant content written about a specific topic; 2) To archive our Internet content for future access. The first e-book in the series is “The Big Fat PSAP Book,” which debuts in the midst of intense social policy discussion about hearing device availability in the US. It is a large book, reflecting the depth and degree of discussion among many stakeholders in the debate. The second e-book in the series is “HearUSA,” is a shorter book that details one colorful and fascinating path taken in the history of hearing aids in the US. It debuted in July, 2016. E-books are available for purchase on the HHTM homepage. If you enjoy these e-books, please look for others on selected topics which will join the series e-Books as we have time to put them together. In the process, we welcome suggestions for categories and topics from our readers. Sincerely, Holly Hosford-Dunn, Ph.D., Wayne J.

    DOI: 10.5772/intechopen.73527 Chapter 9 Provisional chapter Hearing Aids Hearing Aids Ryota Shimokura Ryota Shimokura Additional information is available at the end of the chapter Additional information is available at the end of the chapter http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/intechopen.73527 “Blindness cuts you off from things; deafness cuts you off from people.” Immanuel Kant (Philosopher, 1724–1804). Abstract This chapter presents an overview of the current state of a hearing aid tracing back through the history. The hearing aid, which was just a sound collector in the sixteenth century, has continued to develop until the current digital hearing aid for realizing the downsizing and digital signal processing, and this is the age of implanted hearing devices. However, currently popular implanted hearing devices are a fairly large bur- den for people soon after they become aware of their hearing loss, although auditory stimulation to the nerve in the early stage can avoid accelerated cognitive decline and an increased risk of incident all-cause dementia. For this reason, we tend to stick to wear- able hearing aids that are easy to be put on and take off. Although the digital hearing aid has already reached the technical ceiling, the noninvasive hearing aids have some severe problems that are yet to be resolved. In the second half of this chapter, we discuss the sci- entific and technical solutions to broaden the range of permissible users of hearing aids. Keywords: dementia, EuroTrak, bone-conducted ultrasonic hearing aid, cartilage conduction hearing aid, autocorrelation analysis 1. Introduction When the ability to hear declines, people become uncomfortable during conversations and gradually begin to speak less and less.

  • A Hearing Aid Is an Electroacoustic Device Which Typically Fits in Or Behind the Wearer's Ear, and Is Designed to Amplify and Modulate Sound for the Wearer
    A hearing aid is an electroacoustic device which typically fits in or behind the wearer's ear, and is designed to amplify and modulate sound for the wearer. Earlier devices, known as ear trumpets or ear horns,[1][2] were passive funnel-like amplification cones designed to gather sound energy and direct it into the ear canal. Similar devices include the bone anchored hearing aid, and cochlear implant.

This study considers the outcomes of children in Tanzania who have cochlear implants and aims to measure the outcomes of the rehabilitation they currently undergo. The research aimed to establish the relationship between rehabilitation outcomes in implantees and the frequency of the rehabilitative sessions they attend. It was carried out to quantify this variable and its effect on gaining better outcomes for rehabilitation. Participants: 15 children between ages 1 and 6 who attend speech therapy sessions at Hearwell Audiology Clinic, out of which 13 are unilaterally implanted and 2 are bilaterally. They were assigned to two groups, Group 1 (n=5) being the group that attended therapy sessions 3 or more times a week, and Group 2 (n=10) being the children that attended once a week, on average. Method: The children’s outcomes were assessed using the Little Ears Auditory Questionnare (LEAQ) and the Meaningful Auditory Integration Scale (MAIS), both administered at one year of hearing age.

  • Abstract Humanities Jordan Iii, Augustus W. B.S. Florida
    ABSTRACT HUMANITIES JORDAN III, AUGUSTUS W. B.S. FLORIDA A&M UNIVERSITY, 1994 M.A. CLARK ATLANTA UNIVERSITY, 1998 THE IDEOLOGICAL AND NARRATIVE STRUCTURES OF HIP-HOP MUSIC: A STUDY OF SELECTED HIP-HOP ARTISTS Advisor: Dr. Viktor Osinubi Dissertation Dated May 2009 This study examined the discourse of selected Hip-Hop artists and the biographical aspects of the works. The study was based on the structuralist theory of Roland Barthes which claims that many times a performer’s life experiences with class struggle are directly reflected in his artistic works. Since rap music is a counter-culture invention which was started by minorities in the South Bronx borough ofNew York over dissatisfaction with their community, it is a cultural phenomenon that fits into the category of economic and political class struggle. The study recorded and interpreted the lyrics of New York artists Shawn Carter (Jay Z), Nasir Jones (Nas), and southern artists Clifford Harris II (T.I.) and Wesley Weston (Lii’ Flip). The artists were selected on the basis of geographical spread and diversity. Although Hip-Hop was again founded in New York City, it has now spread to other parts of the United States and worldwide. The study investigated the biography of the artists to illuminate their struggles with poverty, family dysfunction, aggression, and intimidation. 1 The artists were found to engage in lyrical battles; therefore, their competitive discourses were analyzed in specific Hip-Hop selections to investigate their claims of authorship, imitation, and authenticity, including their use of sexual discourse and artistic rivalry, to gain competitive advantage.
