Marshall recalls having had the privilege of meeting Jim Jerger on many occasions over the years; mostly at the annual conferences of the American Academy of Audiology. He recently passed away, but he will not be forgotten. Jim Jerger is the father of modern clinical audiology. His work transcended the boundary between pure research and the clinic.
From time to time, audiologists are asked about strategies (and products) that can be used to reduce the echoes in rooms in hopes of improving speech intelligibility or to “flatten” the room’s acoustics for music listening and playing. Other than seeking out the assistance of an acoustic or audio engineer (which actually can be well-worth the expenditure), this is a primer on how sound behaves in a room, and how it can be modified. An audiologist may be approached by an “audiophile” who has done a spectral sweep of a room and noticed an unwanted resonance at 120 Hz or 130 Hz, for example. How can we best respond to this inquiry?
In this edition of “Striking the Right Balance,” Assan Mary Cedras, Antonio Sam Pierre, Jonathan Dion, and Clara Orsini, Audiology students at the University of Montreal, and their professor, Maxime Maheu, take a look at vestibular losses beyond the symptoms of vertigo and dizziness.
For decades, audiological practice and auditory neuroscience has benefitted from using electroencephalography (EEG) to measure brain responses evoked by speech sounds. Speech-evoked EEG responses show how hearing loss affects speech processing, how hearing aids provide speech perception benefits, and how the auditory system develops.
