Evaluation of the speech, spatial and qualities of hearing in unilateral and bimodal cochlear implant users with incomplete partition type II Objective: The aim of this study was to perform a scale-based assessment of the hearing abilities of cochlear implant users with IP type II malformation and normal cochlea, including discrimination, orientation, and positioning of speech and environmental sounds in their environment. Material and Methods: A total of 30 cochlear implant users, 15 participants with IP-II inner ear anomalies and 15 participants with normal cochlea, aged 18-55 years were included in this study. All participants included in the study are unilateral CI and bimodal users. Participants were assessed using the Speech, Spatial, and Hearing Qualities Scale (SSQ). Results: When cochlear implant users with IP-II malformations and cochlear implant users with normal cochlea individually scored auditory abilities, the results were similar. It was observed that bimodal listeners tended to have all subdomains and overall SSQ scores compared to use of unilateral CI. Conclusion: It is very important to benefit from the advantages of binaural hearing in hearing sounds. It is thought that the use of scales as well as routine audiological evaluation batteries in the follow-up processes of cochlear implant users will be beneficial for audiologists.

Evaluation of babies with hearing aids using visual reinforced ınfant speech discrimination method: A case series Speech perception measurements are an important part of the audiology test battery. It is important to investigate hearing loss in the early period and to evaluate the auditory pathway in terms of speech perception for appropriate amplification. Due to the level of language development in infants, it is not possible to objectively evaluate speech perception skills with the speech test battery used in adults. It is necessary to use a test battery that gives objective results for the measurement of speech perception in infants. Visual Reinforcement Infant Speech Discrimination (VRISD) method is the most commonly used test technique to evaluate speech discrimination skills in infants. The aim of this study is to evaluate the speech discrimination skills of 3 babies aged 6-18 months, who are hearing aid users, with the VRISD test method. In the VRISD test protocol used in this study, test stimuli were created by matching /a/ with /i/ and /ba/ with /da/ speech stimuli. These stimulus pairs are arranged as one target sound and the other background sound, and they are presented at 70 dB via loudspeaker by creating a repeating sound sequence. Animated video that attracts the attention of the baby was used as visual reinforcement. Speech discrimination skills of 3 babies with bilateral hearing aids were evaluated with the VRISD test, and the results of the cases are presented. As a result of the study, speech discrimination skills of babies with hearing aids will be evaluated with the VRISD test method. These results contribute to habilitation and amplification programming. Keywords: Hearing aid, speech perception, pediatric audiology

Quality of work life and its link to quality of life by noise-exposed workers Objective: It was aimed to evaluate both the quality of work-life and quality of life of factory workers working in noisy environments by using the quality of work-life scale and the WHOQOL-BREF (TR) scale and to examine the correlation of the two scales. The secondary aim of our study is to draw attention to the negative impact of noise-induced hearing loss on quality of life and the necessity of measures to protect individual workers. Material and Method: Forty participants aged between 18-45 with and without noise-induced hearing loss (20 participants) were included in the study. Pure tone audiometry tests were performed on the participants. Then, they were asked to answer the WHOQOL-BREF (TR) and Quality of Work Life Scale items. Results: A statistically significant difference was found between the years of work, quality of life, and quality of work-life scores between participants with and without hearing loss. Moderate to strong correlations were observed between the scales assessing the quality of life and work-life. Conclusion: Occupational noise is an important risk factor for hearing loss in workers. Considering that the quality of life of workers exposed to noise is adversely affected, it is necessary to determine the noise exposure, evaluate the negative psychological effects of noise and reduce exposure to noise if necessary.

ABSTRACT The effect of earmold canal length on hearing aid gain Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of earmold canal length on gain at all frequencies. Material and Methods: The earmold impressions of 24 participants age range of 18-25 years were taken to extend to the second bend of the external auditory canal. Then, the earmold impressions taken for each participant; We processed it as a standard hard mold with 3 different canal lengths as 2nd bend, 1st to 2nd bend and 1st bend. Thus, real ear measurement is made for each participant with 3 different canal length earmold; Earmolds with short, medium and long canals and hearing aid gains were measured. Results: According to the results of our analysis, earmold with long canal length provided significant gains in all intensities at 500 and 750 Hz, high input sounds at 250 Hz and medium input sounds at 1000 Hz. Conclusion: Increasing the canal length in earmold provides additional gain, especially at low frequencies. Thanks to the additional gain got, it is thought that modifications to be made in the earmold can provide additional gain outside the hearing aid fitting program.

Assessment of speech perception in noise in children with hearing aids: Preliminary results* Objective: Noisy environments are a part of the daily life of children, just like adults. Children with hearing loss who wear hearing aids are more susceptible to the negative effects of noise than their normal-hearing peers. This study aims to evaluate the speech recognition in noise performance of hearing aid users and compare them with their normal-hearing peers. Material and Method: Five children aged 6-12 years with bilateral moderate to severe symmetrical sensorineural hearing loss and using bilateral behind-the-ear hearing aids were included in the study. 4 different conditions of the Turkish HINT-C were applied, and a speech recognition threshold (SRT) is determined for each condition. Results: Regardless of their age, the SRT needed by children with hearing aids to achieve equal performance with their normal-hearing peers was found to be higher for all test conditions. As seen in children with normal hearing in general, the mean noise front score of the children with hearing loss was higher than the mean noise right and noise left scores. Conclusion: The results of this study revealed that children with bilaterally symmetrical moderate to severe hearing loss achieved poor speech recognition scores in environments similar to the classroom environment, compared to their normal-hearing peers. Our results guided appropriate rehabilitation and follow-up. Keywords: noise, speech recognition in noise, hearing loss, hearing aid, pediatric audiology, HINT, HINT-C
*目的:与成人一样，嘈杂环境也是儿童日常生活的一部分。佩戴助听器的听力损失儿童比听力正常的同龄人更容易受到噪音的负面影响。本研究旨在评估助听器使用者的语音识别噪音表现，并将其与听力正常的同龄人进行比较。材料与方法:选取5名6-12岁双侧中度至重度对称性感音神经性听力损失并使用双侧耳后助听器的儿童作为研究对象。应用了4种不同的土耳其语HINT-C条件，并为每种条件确定了语音识别阈值(SRT)。结果:无论年龄大小，在所有测试条件下，佩戴助听器的儿童与听力正常的同龄人达到同等表现所需的SRT都更高。从听力正常儿童的总体情况来看，听力损失儿童的噪声前平均得分高于右侧和左侧噪声平均得分。结论:本研究结果显示，与听力正常的同龄人相比，双侧对称型中度至重度听力损失儿童在类似课堂环境中的语音识别得分较差。我们的结果指导适当的康复和随访。关键词:噪声，噪声中的语音识别，听力损失，助听器，儿童听力学，HINT, HINT- c

Accompanying autistic findings in a child with down syndrome with hearing loss Down Syndrome (DS) is the most common chromosomal abnormality in the general population. Hearing loss is common in children with DS. It has been denoted that the rate of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) finding is quite frequent in individuals with DS. Early detection of autism characteristics is important for appropriate intervention. The presented case is a child with DS who was diagnosed with mild/moderate SNHL at the age of 7 months and recommended a hearing aid, and despite receiving intensive special education and rehabilitation program and appropriate family support, his development was very limited. Since his development was very limited, he was diagnosed with ASD when he has been referred to child psychiatry again. This case report shows the importance of directing the child to other disciplines to elucidate the factor causing limitation in cases where speech and language development is limited despite early diagnosis and intervention. Besides, it reveals the importance of routinely screening these children in terms of ASD, due to the high rate of coexistence of ASD in children with DS.
