1.	Hearing Loss (Hearing Impairment) 10/01/2004 - "Though traditional hearing aids remain the mainstay of treatment for most uncorrectable hearing loss, partially implantable devices may offer solutions when standard therapy fails." 08/01/2007 - "CONCLUSION: According to previous studies on the matter, our data suggest that identification of hearing loss at early age associated with early hearing aid fitting, and enrollment in early intervention within the first 12 months of age, may help to obtain good results in the receptive language skills performance" 02/01/2001 - "Findings were consistent with previous studies showing positive outcomes for newer technologies but also showed that two subjective factors, prefitting hearing aid expectations and acceptance of hearing loss, significantly influenced hearing aid outcome." 03/01/1979 - "This study sought to determine if a high-pass hearing aid can provide increased improvement in word recognition and consonant discrimination over that of a conventional high frequency emphasis hearing aid in listeners with hearing loss limited to frequencies above 1 000 Hz. Word and consonant discrimination were assessed in quiet and in the presence of 12 talker speech babble for 10 subjects under three listening conditions: (1) unaided; (2) wearing a conventional high frequency emphasis hearing aid, and (3) wearing an experimental high-pass instrument" 04/01/2008 - "CONCLUSIONS: The use of a hearing aid is beneficial for Cantonese tone perception in children who have moderate to severe hearing impairment" Order ALL the reference details at left...
2.	Tinnitus 05/01/1988 - "In most cases, the tinnitus of burnt-out Menière's disease can be relieved easily by the masking afforded through the use of hearing aids." 04/01/2007 - "Previous linear analogue hearing aid fitting had not been beneficial for either hearing or tinnitus" 01/01/2002 - "The preliminary assessment of treatment efficacy for subjective tinnitus with use of retraining therapy yielded the following conclusions: 1. The application of hearing aid brings about an immediate improvement in the patient's self-assessment of hearing and a better tolerance towards tinnitus" 11/01/1978 - "The use of a hearing aid or introduction of a sound with a tinnitus masker has been found to be 82% effective in suppressing tinnitus" 04/01/2007 - "Careful fitting of a digital hearing aid, together with tinnitus counselling, inhibited the patient's tinnitus to 25 per cent of its former intensity after a six month acclimatisation period, and improved communication."

3.	Sensorineural Hearing Loss 01/01/1987 - "These results indicate that a multichannel compression hearing aid can be very effective in some individuals with sensorineural hearing loss and is superior to a conventional hearing aid in most subjects." 09/01/2007 - "BACKGROUND: In spite of modern technology conventional hearing aids are only helpful in a limited number of patients with sensorineural hearing loss" 05/01/2007 - "Sensorineural hearing loss can often be helped by hearing aids" 04/01/1995 - "If the gain and maximum output of the implantable hearing aid is improved in the future, the implant may be able to provide intelligible hearing also to patients with a profound sensorineural hearing loss" 11/01/1984 - "Hearing aids have been improved but cannot be expected to compensate for all the speech perception problems associated with sensorineural hearing loss" Order ALL the reference details at left...
4.	Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) 08/01/1978 - "The results of the evaluations were as follows: (1) six subjects became new hearing aid users; (2) two retained the aids they were already wearing; (3) one improved when the hearing aid was changed to the opposite ear; (4) one obtained a satisfactory replacement for an inadequate instrument; and (5) eight were unable to use an aid to advantage" 01/01/1982 - "Functional benefits were demonstrated by wearing the instruments 8 to 9 hr/day, use of the aids about 60% of the time in communicative situations, subjective benefit judgements of 5 to 9 on a 10-point scale, improved subjective sound localization, and improved clarity of speech with the hearing aids" 02/01/1979 - "There are patients however, who can be helped by communication aids in addition to, or in place of hearing aids" 01/01/1978 - "Evaluation studies with these aids show positive results but these results must be compared with the results that can be obtained with ordinary hearing aids and different types of auditory speech processing hearing aids" 10/01/2007 - "In the population study, aids were offered as a monaural in-the-ear (ITE) hearing aid and in the clinical effectiveness study people who met the criteria were randomised to be offered two different ITE hearing aids to be fitted bilaterally" Order ALL the reference details at left...
5.	Deafness (Deaf Mutism) 08/01/1996 - "This study has shown that in this preselected group of children with persistent OME and the predominant symptom of deafness, a hearing aid was an effective treatment for their deafness with high acceptance and compliance." 03/01/2003 - "Because age at implantation negatively correlates with improved speech perception after implantation, congenitally affected children with profound deafness (if they cannot obtain enough benefit from hearing aids) should receive implants as early as possible." 04/01/1994 - "Children with such profound deafness that they are not helped by hearing aids are now candidates for cochlear implantation" 01/01/2008 - "This study evaluated speech perception performances in a group of 18 prelingually deafened subjects (aged 13-30 years) which was homogeneous with respect to duration of deafness, hearing aid use before cochlear implantation, mode of communication and administration of auditory-oral speech therapy" 01/01/2006 - "The present study assessed the clinical features of hearing and some aspects of language development in congenital deafness due either to GJB2 mutations or to other factors in Japanese patients who had been habilitated with hearing aids" Order ALL the reference details at left...
