This document discusses instrumentation used to measure acoustic signals and auditory function. It describes otoacoustic emissions, which are sounds emitted from the inner ear that can be measured in the ear canal. There are two types of otoacoustic emissions: spontaneous and evoked. Transient evoked otoacoustic emissions and distortion product otoacoustic emissions are the most clinically applicable evoked emissions. These emissions are present in normal hearing but absent in hearing loss, making them useful for hearing screening and diagnosis. The document also discusses transient evoked otoacoustic emission testing specifically, noting it is a quick, sensitive test using a small probe to detect cochlear pathology for uses such as neonatal hearing screening, differential diagnosis
Auditory brainstem response (ABR)
Approximately 1 of every 1000 children is born deaf. Many more are born with less severe degrees of hearing impairment, while others may acquire hearing loss during early childhood.
combination of technological advances in ABR and otoacoustic emissions (OAE) testing methods are used for evaluation of hearing in newborns.

SCADA Guard and InduSoft Web Studio – Creating Text-to-Speech Alarms in InduS...AVEVA
Even the best designed SCADA system will not be effective if alarms are missed or not properly acknowledged. Occasionally the best way to ensure that alarms reach the proper operators is to send the information directly though text-to-speech dialers. This is especially important for operators working with RTUs and other remote machines, as it’s not always possible to be on-site to directly monitor an application.

Energy Management with InduSoft Web Studio and the University of TexasAVEVA
The University of Texas at Austin has the second largest University campus in the United States. The Utilities and Energy Management group is responsible for managing the energy use from over 160 buildings, totaling almost 900 meters through the campus. As the first phase of this project energy meters were installed in 2010, and the Department needed a means to display energy data in a meaningful and easy to access way. After looking into different HMI programs; UT decided to partner with Indusoft to leverage the superior web-based software of InduSoft Web Studio. The software offered all the capabilities the department was looking for plus more.

Unveiling the Secrets of Otoacoustic Emissions (OAE) TestingSonic Equipment
Understanding the Otoacoustic Emissions (OAE) testing is crucial for assessing auditory function. This non-invasive technique measures the acoustic responses generated by the inner ear. OAE testing provides valuable insights into the integrity of the cochlear function.
Hearing loss is one of the most frequent sensory deficient in human population. It affects more than 360 million people.
Consequences of hearing impairment include reduced ability to communicate, economic and educational disadvantage, social isolation and stigmatization.
we will talk also about the common types & causes of hearing loss and the possible applicable methods to treat these conditions.

Tom Selleck Health: A Comprehensive Look at the Iconic Actor’s Wellness Journeygreendigital
Tom Selleck, an enduring figure in Hollywood. has captivated audiences for decades with his rugged charm, iconic moustache. and memorable roles in television and film. From his breakout role as Thomas Magnum in Magnum P.I. to his current portrayal of Frank Reagan in Blue Bloods. Selleck's career has spanned over 50 years. But beyond his professional achievements. fans have often been curious about Tom Selleck Health. especially as he has aged in the public eye.
Follow us on: Pinterest
Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit

Lecture 2 c instrumentation used in the measurement of acoustic signals and auditory function

Used In The
Measurement of
Acoustic Signals
And Auditory
Function
Dr. Ghulam Saqulain
M.B.B.S., D.L.O., F.C.P.S
Head of Department of ENT
Capital Hospital, Islamabad
2. Otoacoustic Emissions
In 1978, Kemp showed that, when stimulated, the
normal ear emits sound.
These emitted sounds can be measured in the ear canal
with sensitive microphones, appropriate stimulus, and
signal averaging.
3. The fact that these responses are present in normal ears
but absent in ears with significant hearing loss has led to
the application of these techniques to the problem of
identification and diagnosis of hearing loss
(Kemp et al, 1986; Kemp et al, 1990; Lonsbury-Martin and Martin, 1990; and Lonsbury-Martin et al,
1990).
4. There are two general classes of OAEs:
Spontaneous OAEs
They are present in about 50% of normal hearing ears.
Their presence does not appear to be strongly related to the percept of tinnitus.
Given these two facts, the clinical applicability of spontaneous OAEs remains extremely
limited.
There are three types of evoked OAEs:
Transient,
Stimulus frequency,
Distortion product.
5. Transient Evoked Otoacoustic Emissions (TEOAE’s)
produced by brief acoustic stimuli
Distortion Product Otoacoustic Emissions (DPOAE’s)
results from inner ear distortion generated when two
or more tones of different frequencies are introduced
into the ear
6. Stimulus frequency OAEs are technically the most difficult to
extract from the stimulus waveform and have not received
much attention in terms of clinical problems.
In contrast, both transient and distortion product OAEs have
been shown to be present in the majority of normally hearing
subjects, absent in the majority of patients with hearing loss,
and easily measured in relatively short periods of time
7. – TEOAE
– TEOAE, also known as cochlear echoes, are low
intensity sounds originating from the outer hair cells in
the cochlea and can be elicited in response to click
presented to the ear through a light weight probe
– This detection by a microphone within the same probe
is a simple and rapid clinical test for the normal
functioning of the middle and inner ear.
– TEOAE testing is quick, sensitive to cochlear pathology
and involves only a small probe in the outer ear, which
makes it very acceptable to parents and babies.
– Some 2 to 3.6% screen positive.
