Objectif : Valider un test auditif calibré sur smartphone dans une cabine de sonorisation et dans des cliniques de soins de santé primaires. Conception : Une conception d'étude à répétition au sein du sujet a été employée, selon laquelle les seu[...]Article
Objectives: This study describes the prevalence and nature of auditory and otological manifestations in adults with HIV/AIDS through clinical examinations and self-reported symptoms across stages of disease progression. Design: Descriptive cross[...]Article
Background: Smartphone-based threshold audiometry with automated testing has the potential to provide affordable access to audiometry in underserved contexts.Article
Objectif : Évaluation du casque supra-aural Sennheiser HD 202 II comme casque alternatif pour permettre un dépistage auditif plus abordable. Conception : L'étude 1 a mesuré les niveaux de pression acoustique seuil équivalents (ETSPL) du Sennheis[...]Article
Rebecca J. Bennett, Auteur ; Elise Cumming-Potvin, Auteur ; Robert H. Eikelboom, Auteur ; Vinaya Manchiah, Auteur ; Johanna C. Badcock, Auteur ; De Wet Swanepoel, Auteur |Objective: The purpose of this study was to explore whether self-reported mental wellbeing (anxiety, depression and loneliness) in audiologists has changed over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic and to examine possible factors contributing to [...]Article
This study describes characteristics, behaviours and readiness of people who are interested in seeking hearing healthcare (HHC) online. Design: A non-profit clinic was established from which services through a virtual clinic are offered. Most o[...]Article
Objective: To validate the air- and bone-conduction AMTAS automated audiometry system. Design: Prospective study. Test-retest reliability was determined by assessing adults with AMTAS air- and bone-conduction audiometry. Accuracy was determined [...]Article
Jan-Willem A. Wasmann ; Cris P. Lanting ; Wendy J. Huinck ; Emmanuel A. M. Mylanus ; Jeroen W. van der Laak ; Paul J. Govaerts ; De Wet Swanepoel ; David R. Moore ; Dennis L. Barbour |he global digital transformation enables computational audiology for advanced clinical applications that can reduce the global burden of hearing loss. In this article, we describe emerging hearing-related artificial intelligence applications and[...]Article
Objectif: L'objectif de cette étude était de développer et de valider un test auditif de chiffres dans le bruit sur smartphone pour l'anglais sud-africain. Conception: des chiffres uniques (0 à 9) ont été enregistrés et prononcés par une femme a[...]Article
Poor follow-up compliance from school-based hearing screening typically undermines the efficacy of school-based hearing screening programs. Onsite diagnostic audiometry with automation may reduce false positives and ensure directed referrals. T[...]Article
Objectives: The digits-in-noise test (DIN) is a popular self-test measure that has traditionally been used to screen for hearing loss by providing either a pass or refer result. Standard approaches either tested each ear monaurally or used a bin[...]Article

Kathleen Pichora-Fuller ; Melissa Selb ; De Wet Swanepoel ; Krishna Yerraguntla ; Johanna Gustafsson |Self-assessment instruments are commonly used in audiological rehabilitation. However, several studies highlight the lack of multidimensionality in existing outcome measures, with the consequence that they only partially capture aspects of func[...]Article
Objectives: Hearing loss is most commonly observed at high frequencies. High-frequency hearing loss (HFHL) precedes and predicts hearing loss at lower frequencies. It was previously shown that an automated, self-administered digits-in-noise (DIN[...]Article
Rebecca J. Bennett ; Vinaya Manchaiah ; Robert H. Eikelboom ; Johanna C. Badcock ; De Wet Swanepoel |Objective The aim of the study was to examine the mental well-being of audiologists in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. Design A cross-sectional online survey was conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic, between 23 June and 13 August 20[...]Article
Objective This study surveyed the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the audiology workplace. Design The study used a cross-sectional survey design for audiologists across the globe (n = 337) using an online survey (June–Augu[...]Article
Objective To determine the attitudes of audiologists towards telehealth and use of telehealth for the delivery of ear and hearing services pre-, during- and post- the COVID-19 pandemic, and to identify the perceived effects of telehealth on s[...]Article
Objectives To compare outcomes of a community-based hearing screening programme using smartphone screening audiometry operated by specialist (School Health Nurses – SHNs) and non-specialist health workers (Community Health Workers – CHWs) in sc[...]Article
Objective: This study aimed to develop and assess a method to measure word recognition abilities using a smartphone application (App) connected to an audiometer. Design: Word lists were recorded in South African English and Afrikaans. Analyses [...]Article
Objective and design: This retrospective cohort study aimed to describe the differential effect of noise exposure and age-related hearing loss in a large sample of gold miners in South Africa. Study sample: Audiological data of 40 123 South Afri[...]Livre
Chapter 1: Rationale for Objective Hearing Assessment, A Word About Terminology, Important Terms and Concepts, Detection versus Diagnosis, Clinical Limitations of Behavioral Audiometry, Cross-Check Principle Revisited, Chapter 2 Aural Immittance[...]Article
Objective To identify and describe predictors of daily hearing technology (HT) use in children. Design Retrospective review of clinical records. Multiple regression analyses were performed to identify predictors. Study sample The samp[...]Article
Objective: COVID-19 has been prohibitive to traditional audiological services. No- or low-touch audiological assessment outside a sound-booth precludes test batteries including bone conduction audiometry. This study investigated whether conducti[...]Article
Sigrid Polspoel, Auteur ; David R. Moore, Auteur ; De Wet Swanepoel, Auteur ; Sophia E. Kramer, Auteur ; Cas Smits, Auteur |Objectives The objective of this study is (1) to assess whether the presentation level of the antiphasic digits-in-noise (DIN) test affects the speech recognition threshold (SRT), (2) to evaluate how accurately simulated unilateral and bilate[...]Article
Article
Objective: To determine if a smartphone application could be used as a calibrated screening audiometer with real-time noise monitoring for school screening using automated test sequences. Design: The investigation comprised three studies. Study [...]
