[Acoustic hearing aid with an integrated noise generator in hearing-impaired subjects with tinnitus].

INTRODUCTION: Sound therapy has been studied in a group of 30 patients experiencing hearing loss and tinnitus. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Patients wore a BTE hearing-aid (TCI-COMBI by Siemens), which, in addition to acoustic amplification, can generate a broadband noise. Comparison of self-questionnaires completed by the patients during a 12 week period with amplification alone to a 12 week period with amplification and noise. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: His study demonstrates that the level of suffering is significantly reduced during the period with added noise.

[Signal processing in contour implants].

Signal processing by cochlear implants is aimed at transmitting all the acoustic information carried by the human voice, whether in its semantic, esthetic or affective aspects, as an electrical signal. The "translating" approach, which encodes the signal according to the characteristics of the sounds, can only be ideally used in multiple-canal implants. On the contrary, our experience with various single-canal prostheses shows that our patients choose one of these according to the comfort of the signal and to its reliability rather than to the complexity of signal processing: all prostheses produce approximately the same results, whatever the method implemented. The contour implant allows an easy, effective and well-tolerated fitting at low costs.

[Presentation of a French language protocol for the evaluation of communication improvement in the deaf following implantation].

We have been led to drawing up a procedure of assessment of communication as restored by implantation. This procedure is simple, and can be used by all teams, however complex the material implanted is. It can be implemented for children as well as adults, and for both pre- and post-speech deafness. Our staging allows integrating the implanted patient into the classical description of deafness, while retaining the specific features of electrical stimulation.
