Publication Metadata only Light cupula phenomenon: a systematic review(2022-11-01) Bal N.; Altun M.; Kuru E.; Başöz Behmen M.; Gedik Toker Ö.; KURU, ELIF; BAŞÖZ, MELIHA; GEDİK, ÖZGEPublication Metadata only Speech auditory brainstem response in audiological practice: a systematic review(2023-01-01) Başöz Behmen M.; Güner N.; Kuru E.; Bal N.; Gedik Toker Ö.; BAŞÖZ, MELIHA; KURU, ELIF; GEDİK, ÖZGEBackground: Speech-ABR is an auditory brainstem response that evaluates the integrity of the temporal and spectral coding of speech in the upper levels of the brainstem. It reflects the acoustic properties of the stimulus used and consists of seven major waves. Waves V and A represent the onset of the response; wave C transition region; D, E, and F waves periodic region (frequency following response); and wave O reflects the offset of the response.PurposeThe aim of this study is to evaluate the clinical availability of the speech-ABR procedure through a literature review.MethodsLiterature search was conducted in Pubmed, Google Scholar, Scopus and Science Direct databases. Clinical studies of the last 15 years have been included in this review and 60 articles have been reviewed.ResultsAs a result of the articles reviewed, it was seen that most of the studies on speech ABR were conducted with children and young people and generally focused on latency analysis measurements. Most used stimulus is the /da/ syllable.ConclusionsSpeech ABR can objectively measure the auditory cues important for speech recognition and has many clini- cal applications. It can be used as a biomarker for auditory processing disorders, learning disorders, dyslexia, otitis media, hearing loss, language disorders and phonological disorders. S-ABR is an effective procedure that can be used in speech and language evaluations in people with hearing aids or cochlear implant. It may also be of benefit to the aging auditory system\"s ability to encode temporal cues.Publication Open Access The effect of occupational exposure to noise and chemical agents on hearing abilities(2024-01-01) Gedik Toker Ö.; Kuru E.; GEDİK, ÖZGE; KURU, ELIFExposure to loud noise or chemical agents may cause hearing disorders such as tinnitus and recruitment, known as an increase in the perception of loudness in addition to hearing loss. Our study aims to evaluate the hearing abilities of hairdressers exposed to noise and chemical agents in the working environment. The study included one hundred hairdressers and one hundred participants who do not work as hairdressers or are nonworkers. The participants' demographic characteristics, working conditions, and auditory complaints were questioned, and each participant completed the Speech, Spatial, and Qualities of Hearing Scale (SSQ). A statistically significant difference was found between the two groups in speech perception, spatial perception, hearing quality, and general SSQ scores. Hairdressers' SSQ scores were significantly lower in all sub-dimensions and general scale scores (p < 0.001). The auditory complaints of the hairdressers and the low SSQ scores indicate that exposure to noise and chemical agents affects the hairdressers' hearing system.
