Digital technology for remote hearing assessment—current status and future directions for consumers De Sousa, K.C. (Karina); Moore, David R.; Smits, Cas; Swanepoel, De Wet (MDPI, 2021-09-10)Globally, more than 1.5 billion people have hearing loss. Unfortunately, most people with hearing loss reside in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) where traditional face-to-face services rendered by trained health ...

De Sousa, K.C. (Karina); Smits, Cas; Moore, David R.; Myburgh, Hermanus C.; Swanepoel, De Wet (Lippincott Williams and Wilkins, 2022-05)OBJECTIVES : The digits-in-noise test (DIN) is a popular self-test measure that has traditionally been used to screen for hearing loss by providing either a pass or refer result. Standard approaches either tested each ear ...

Potgieter, Jenni-Marí; Swanepoel, De Wet; Smits, Cas (AOSIS Open Journals, 2018-05-21)BACKGROUND : Speech-in-noise tests have become a valuable part of the audiometric test battery providing an indication of a listener’s ability to function in background noise. A simple digitsin- noise (DIN) test could ...
