Feasibility of conducting a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the effect of motivational interviewing on hearing-aid use.

abstract：:Salicylate, a common drug frequently used long term in the clinic, is well known for causing reversible hearing loss and tinnitus. Our previous study, however, demonstrated that chronic administration of salicylate progressively raised the amplitude of distortion product of otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs), which are ma...

abstract：:The real-ear insertion response (REIR) of a hearing aid is estimated as the difference between the aided response and the unaided response in the ear canal. Changes in the position of the loudspeaker relative to the head, between the two measurements, may reduce the accuracy of the estimate. The spatial variability of...
