Abstract

Hearing Prosthetics: Digital Signal Processing in Patients with Central Auditory Processing Deficit

Highlights

  • High-tech digital hearing aids allow greater versatility when implementing signal programming strategies

  • The professionals of the hearing aids and of the audiology have to be provided with knowledge of the intimate mechanisms that, at the cellular and molecular level, allow the auditory neural circuits to adapt to situations of deficient processing, as it happens in the DPA (C), Understanding the adaptive plastic mechanisms and how they are produced [32,33], as well as these professionals must have sufficient competence to manipulate the available technology, that through digital signal processing, collaborate in the intervention, new therapeutic and / or preventive approaches that tend Maintain the biological balance of the system [34-50]

  • This paper aims to propose different procedures for digital signal processing of current hearing aids, and how these could intervene favoring, stimulating and providing complementary information in auditory training when used in patients with APD

Summary

Introduction

High-tech digital hearing aids allow greater versatility when implementing signal programming strategies. The development of technologies offers an unprecedented view on the functioning of the brain and the auditory structures, which have allowed deciphering puzzles quickly and beginning to have relevant data on how these structures and their biological mechanisms intervene in hearing in normal situations and Pathological conditions [31]. The professionals of the hearing aids and of the audiology have to be provided with knowledge of the intimate mechanisms that, at the cellular and molecular level, allow the auditory neural circuits to adapt to situations of deficient processing, as it happens in the DPA (C), Understanding the adaptive plastic mechanisms and how they are produced [32,33], as well as these professionals must have sufficient competence to manipulate the available technology, that through digital signal processing, collaborate in the intervention, new therapeutic and / or preventive approaches that tend Maintain the biological balance of the system [34-50]
