Clinical trials: Deafness and Auditory Perception
Hearing Loss, Sensorineural
PC-Based Rehabilitation of Auditory Function
Many older subjects experience difficulty in understanding speech in noisy environments. Part of this problem is related to changes that occur in the ear with age and compromise the hearing of high-pitched sounds.
