Investigation of the Relationship Between LS Chirp ABR and Comprehension In Noise Skills In Individuals With Suspected Hidden Hearing Loss

Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Study Type: Observational
SUMMARY

Results: The study will reveal how LS CE-Chirp stimulation affects ABR results in individuals suspected of having HHL, and the relationship between these results and HINT results will be examined. In this way, HHL will be evaluated both objectively (LS CE-Chirp ABR) and subjectively (HINT). Based on the findings, scientific outputs such as publications or projects are targeted. Importance: HHL has recently attracted increasing attention as a condition that significantly affects daily life. In today's world, where noise and noisy environments are prevalent, disadvantages arise in many aspects, particularly in communication. Therefore, the findings obtained in this study may contribute to a better understanding of HHL.
