Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Tinnitus / April 2004Impressions of hearing loss and Tinnitus
http://www.hear-it.org/forside.dsp?forside=yes&area=244 here are some sound files which are useful in letting people with normal hearing get some idea of what people with a hearing loss and/or Tinnitus experience. R. Interesting. Does anyone know of similar sounds for speech? I've got high frequency loss and sometimes people start shouting as if that will help. > http://www.hear-it.org/forside.dsp?forside=yes&area=244 > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > R. It is not be terribly difficult to make up sound files using a persons speech and a sound editor and then apply filtering according to your audiological analysis. You can then add the tinnitus as well if that is a factor. Then let that person listen to the original and the resultant sound files, they will get the idea real quick. I am working on this right now. Some people talk very poorly, even sitting right next to them, I cannot understand them, others I can easily hear across a room. My hearing loss only aggravates THEIR problem. > Interesting. Does anyone know of similar sounds for speech? I've got high > frequency loss and sometimes people start shouting as if that will help.

Thanks for this, These really indicated to my wife what it is like for me and my tinnitus.I couldn't hear the last sound nor the apparent background noises to two of the tune examples. > It is not be terribly difficult to make up sound files using a persons > speech and a sound editor and then apply filtering according to your [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > > > > > R. David Hyams topposted, fixing it: This is what it started out with: >>>> http://www.hear-it.org/forside.dsp?forside=yes&area=244 >>>> here are some sound files which are useful in letting people >>>> with normal hearing get some idea of what people with a hearing >>>> loss and/or Tinnitus experience. No explanation of how the files were made found in the dangling thread. Just static EQ will not do it, in the not improbable case it was used. >>> Interesting. Does anyone know of similar sounds for speech? >>> I've got high frequency loss Undefined variable, everybody has some kind of high frequency hearing loss, if not then their hearing extends to 32 kHz. > and sometimes people start shouting as if that will help. Masking theory is needed to explain why it doesn't. >>It is not be terribly difficult to make up sound files >> using a persons speech and a sound editor and then apply >> filtering according to your audiological analysis. It is somewhat non-simple because the recruitment needs to be modeled too. >> You can then add the tinnitus as well if that is a >> factor. In terms of comprehension it equals the hearing loss. It was btw, beatifully modelled with Homer Simpson as example in some episode of the Simpsons. It should be easy to find it, it is one of the 3867 with a real rockband in it. >> Then let that person listen to the original and the resultant >> sound files, they will get the idea real quick.
