Jet fuel exposure and auditory outcomes in Australian air force personnel
The results suggest that jet fuel exposure, when combined with noise exposure, has an adverse effect on audibility in humans. Taking all the test results into consideration, jet fuel exposure combined with noise exposure specifically seems to affect the peripheral hearing system in humans
The Nature of Patient- and Family-Centred Care for Young Adults Living with Chronic Disease and their Family Members
Auditory dysfunction associated with solvent exposure
This study provides further evidence of the possible adverse effect of solvents on the peripheral and central auditory functioning. A discussion of these effects and the utility of selected hearing tests to assess SIHL is addressed
Rehabilitation of Older Adults With Hearing Impairment
Objectives: Hearing impairment, which affects both peripheral and central structures of the auditory system, is highly prevalent among older adults and has serious consequences both for the people with hearing impairment and for those around them. This article provides an updated overview of the rehabilitation of this population. Methods: This article critically reviews the rehabilitation interventions available to older adults with hearing impai…
Australian Adolescent Attitudes Toward Noise and the Use of Hearing Protection
Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) is on the increase in adolescent populations due to excessive noise exposure, particularly in leisure activities. A crucial factor in the prevention of NIHL and the use of hearing protective devices (HPDs) among this population relates directly to their attitudes toward noise. The present study investigated Australian adolescent attitudes toward noise and the use of HPDs as a follow-up study to research conducted…
The impact of hearing impairment on quality of life of older people
This study aimed to investigate the impact of hearing impairment on the quality of life of Australian older people. Relationships between (a) hearing impairment and hearing disability/handicap, (b) hearing impairment and health-related quality of life, and (c) hearing disability/handicap and health-related quality of life were examined. Ninety-three community-based subjects were assessed using pure-tone audiometry as a measure of impairment. A di…
Participation and Older People
Increasing older people's participation in society is important in ageing policies worldwide. There is a need to understand the challenges for health professionals of transforming policy on participation into liberating social change practices on the ground. This paper explores the meaning, theory and practice of participation. It uses the example of a “work in progress” project that has attempted to address structural barriers to older people's …
Older people with hearing impairment
In this paper, the clinical applications of the ICIDH-2 framework to the practice of audiology with older adults with acquired hearing impairment are discussed. It is argued that the current focus of audiological rehabilitation is limited to the assessment and management of Impairment and Activity, with the assumption being that, if these are addressed, Participation issues will be resolved. The techniques recommended for the direct assessment of…
Quality-of-life measurement in speech pathology and audiology
'Quality of life (QOL)', although an underlying goal of rehabilitation for people with disabilities, has been largely overlooked in the management of communication-disabled populations. It is likely that QOL has received so little attention in speech pathology and audiology because of the many difficulties that arise in determining which aspects of QOL are appropriate for assessment and intervention, and in determining how to undertake this proce…
Quality of life for people with aphasia
Quality of life (QOL) assessment for people with aphasia has been limited by many difficulties. Possibly the most important issue is altered language comprehension ability which raises concerns for response reliability and validity. Second, there are few appropriate assessments for communication-disordered populations. Recent advances in the QOL concept and theory (LaPointe, 1999; Cruice et al, 2000a,b; Hirsch and Holland, 2000), have prompted gr…
Everyday communication activities of individuals with traumatic brain injury living in New Zealand
Following traumatic brain injury, impaired communication can inhibit an individual's ability to function in the community. In order to determine accurately an individual's ability to communicate in everyday situations, the investigator must know initially what communication activities are required for daily living and then have a reliable method of gauging the individual's performance in those activities. In the present study, the communication a…
Use of communication strategies by adults with hearing impairment
Communication strategies may be used by individuals with hearing impairment to rectify communication breakdowns. Training individuals to use such strategies effectively has become a major part of many audiological rehabilitation programmes. The primary aim of this study was to investigate communication strategies used by adults with hearing impairment to overcome communication breakdowns occurring in one-to-one and group conversations. The second…
