An Investigation Of Temporary Threshold Shift Among Helmeted Motorcycle Riders, Alamander Hicks
An Investigation Of Temporary Threshold Shift Among Helmeted Motorcycle Riders, Alamander Hicks
Dissertations and Theses
The purpose of the present study involved the investigation of the significance of wind noise as a contributing factor toward temporary threshold shifts among a select sample of motorcycle riders. Five ' normal-hearing, helmeted, female subjects were administered pure-tone air-conduction hearing tests immediately before and within 2 minutes after exposure to three noise-related aspects of motorcycle riding. The amount of ,hearing loss present at 3k, 4k and 6k Hz after each 20 minute exposure condition was recorded as the TTS for that subject. The three conditions consisted of motorcycle noise only, wind noise only and motorcycle and wind noise combined. …
Relationship Between Electrical And Acoustical Characteristics Of Amplification Systems And Reduced Auditory Sensitivity, Carolyn Margaret Normoyle
Relationship Between Electrical And Acoustical Characteristics Of Amplification Systems And Reduced Auditory Sensitivity, Carolyn Margaret Normoyle
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
Current methods of selection of amplification are not readily applicable to children, and relatively few alternatives have been explored. Consequently, the audiologist must make a number of rather arbitrary judgements with little concrete information to support his recommendation of a given instrument. He has limited means of clinically determining the sustainability of the instrument for the child.
This study was designed to explore the relationship between several factors which may add to the existing body of data related to the problems of amplification in children. In brief, the problem was to determine the various electrical and acoustical characteristics of hearing …
