AbstractTinnitus retraining therapy has been heralded as a major advance in the alleviation of tinnitus perception. A cornerstone of this technique is to use white noise produced by a white noise generator (WNG) over a period of several months in order to assist the patient to habituate to their tinnitus. There are three factors which influence the frequency spectrum of the perceived noise such that the perception of white noise from a WNG is unlikely. These factors are the actual spectrum of the emitted noise, the ear canal resonance of the patient and the hearing sensitivity of the patient.Advocates of tinnitus retraining therapy state that white noise is the optimal stimulation to assist habituation of tinnitus. This paper demonstrates that this optimal situation is unlikely to be achieved and that this may account for the long periods needed for patients to achieve benefit from the technique. The development of devices that allow for the above factors to be countered is suggested.

Obesity is an increase in total body fat, that is if found to be overweight > 20% in men and 25% in women due to fat. Increased obesity cannot beseparated from lifestyle, such as decreased physical activity.    One complication   that   can   be   caused   by   obesity   is   hearing   loss, especiallysensorineural hearing loss caused by microangiopathic abnormalities, especially in the inner ear. But the relationship of events between obesity withhearing loss is still often a debate, because there is no definite consensus. The purpose of this research determine the relationship of obesity with sensorineural hearing loss. This research is an analytic study by obtaining cross-sectional study, with data obtained from the assessment of bodyweight and height to see the status of the mass index, physical examination of the ear, and audiometric examination. Data analysis techniques using the chi square test statistics. Research result obtained relationship between obesity with sensorineural hearing loss as much as 49.09% and the highest degree of hearing loss is mild degrees as much as 27.07%. Research conclusions there is a significant relationship between obesity with sensorineural hearing loss.

A longitudinal study was conducted of 139 children with severe and profound hearing losses. The children were between 3 and 5 years of age at the commencement of the 4-year study. The relationship of several background and educational variables with the linguistic, academic, and social development of the children was investigated. Age, hearing loss, and intelligence were related to most of the dependent measures. Relationships involving communication mode (auditory/oral vs. total communication) varied with the measure being considered. The variable of program type (individual vs. group) interacted with the degree of hearing loss and with communication mode. Although early intervention was related to certain dependent measures, no relationships were found that involved direct instruction by parents or integration.

The Relationship

The relationship of premature birth to deafness is investigated, with particular emphasis on the role of prematurity as a factor in multiple handicaps among deaf children. One thousand sixty-eight cases are involved in the research. Those born prematurely are carefully studied in terms of: (a) multiple handicaps, (b) educational achievement, (c) psychological adjustment, (d) intelligence, (e) audiometric responses, and (f) psychodiagnostic evidence of brain damage. Results of these behavioral and physical variables are quantified and compared to normative data and to data on other groups of deaf children having different etiologies of hearing loss. Significant differences are found among the premature deaf youths. The neurophysiological origins of these are discussed, and implications for the future are given.
