[Dichotic digit test. Case].

In this study we present a case of a 71-year-old female patient with sensorineural hearing loss and fitted with bilateral hearing aids. The patient complained of scant benefit from the hearing aid fitting with difficulties in understanding speech with background noise. The otolaryngology examination was normal.

[The effect of cochlear sensorineural hearing loss on binaural integration mechanisms].

Introduction: Binaural integration is the ability to process different messages when presented simultaneously in both ears. Any deficit in this mechanism implies poor auditory discrimination of background noise and difficulties in processing competing auditory signals.

Method: In the present study, pairs of digits were presented dichotically to both ears in adult subjects with normal hearing and bilaterally symmetrical sensorineural cochlear hearing loss.

[Fitting hearing aids in early childhood based on auditory evoked potentials in steady states].

The purpose of the Newborn Hearing Screening Program is to achieve early. Identification and appropriate intervention for hearing loss. Hearing aids are the most frequent intervention for deafness.
