The document discusses the problem of "alarm fatigue" in hospitals, where the large number and volume of alarms has increased drastically over time. It notes that 80-99% of alarms are false or clinically insignificant. Alarm hazards were ranked the number one health technology hazard in 2014 by ECRI, and the FDA identified 862 alarm-related deaths over 7 years. The document proposes applying principles of "Sonic Humanism" to improve alarm design through standardizing sounds, prioritizing alarms, controlling volume intelligently, and designing sounds that precisely communicate urgency without being annoying. It suggests curating music and ambient sounds could also positively impact patients and staff. The document outlines 5 "Design Truths" for applying sound design effectively in

Healthcare is still using outdated technologies while other industries adopt new technologies. The document discusses how healthcare is becoming decentralized and moving from hospitals to homes and phones through technologies like remote monitoring, wireless devices, and telehealth. It argues that healthcare will become a software industry and will be location independent and global through technologies that provide more data points and engagement to improve care.
Audiometry & Sonic Boom
The document discusses audiometry, which is the measurement of auditory function through pure-tone testing to determine hearing threshold levels using an audiometer. An audiometer is an electrical instrument that generates pure tones of known frequencies and intensities to test hearing in each ear separately through air conduction with earphones or bone conduction with a vibrator. It can also generate masking noise and test speech audiometry. An audiogram is a graph that shows individual hearing acuity as a function of frequency based on audiometry results.
Acoustics and basic audiometry
This document provides an overview of acoustics and basic audiometry concepts. It defines key terms like frequency, intensity, pitch and loudness. It explains that frequency is a physical property of sound measured in Hertz, while pitch is the human perception of how high or low a sound is. Intensity is the physical measurement of sound pressure in decibels, while loudness is the human perception of sound intensity. The document also reviews concepts like pure tones, complex sounds, fundamental frequency, harmonics, and resonant frequency. It describes how to perform a basic audiologic assessment, including taking a case history, performing puretone audiometry to test air and bone conduction thresholds, and assessing speech recognition.
2 audiological evaluation
The document provides an overview of audiological evaluation techniques, including:
1. Behavioral tests like play audiometry and pure tone audiometry that measure hearing sensitivity. Objective tests like ABR, OAEs, and electrocochleography are used for infants and difficult to test patients.
2. Middle ear assessment tools like tympanometry and acoustic reflex testing evaluate the function of the middle ear.
3. Evoked potential tests like ABR, ECochG and OAEs assess cochlear and neural hearing function without depending on behavioral responses. ABR in particular provides threshold information and can detect neurological abnormalities.
Assessment of Hearing
This PowerPoint is about about two audiometric tests namely bekesy audiometry and impedance audiometry and also about the special hearing tests.
Pure tone audiometry
Pure tone audiometry involves testing a subject's hearing sensitivity using pure tone sounds of fixed frequencies. It aims to determine if hearing loss is present, its type and degree. A pure tone audiometer generates pure tones and delivers them via headphones or bone conduction vibrator. Threshold testing finds the lowest sound level at which a subject responds correctly to 50% of tones. Interpretation of the audiogram provides qualitative information about the hearing loss.
Pure tone audiometry
Pure tone audiometry is used to measure hearing thresholds using an audiometer. It generates pure tones of varying frequencies and intensities that are delivered to the patient's ears through headphones or bone conduction to determine the softest level they can hear at different frequencies. The results are plotted on an audiogram to identify the type and degree of any hearing loss. It is an important subjective test that provides frequency-specific information but relies on the patient's responses.
Tests of hearing
This document summarizes various tests used to evaluate hearing. It discusses tests of hearing thresholds like pure tone audiometry to determine the type and degree of hearing loss. Other tests discussed include tympanometry to assess middle ear function, otoacoustic emissions to evaluate cochlear outer hair cell function, and electrocochleography and BERA to objectively measure electrical responses in the cochlea and auditory nerve. The document provides details on the principles, procedures, and interpretations of these common audiological tests used to evaluate hearing.

WHO estimates that 1.1 billion young people worldwide could be at risk of hearing loss due to unsafe listening practices.
Addressing Quietness at Night
This document summarizes research on addressing disruptive noise at night in hospital environments. It finds that noise significantly disrupts patient sleep, which hinders recovery. About 20-30% of patient arousals at night are caused by noise from medical devices, conversations, etc. Implementing white noise has been shown to be the most effective and economical approach to mitigating noise, as it masks disruptive sounds while allowing important noises to be heard. White noise machines have been found to significantly improve patient-reported sleep quality and ability to return to sleep after waking.
legal final paper
This document analyzes policies surrounding access to cochlear implants through insurance coverage. It discusses ambiguities in corporate policies and judicial rulings regarding distribution of resources. Hearing loss is increasing globally due to environmental factors and aging. While cochlear implants can help, the high cost poses barriers. Minorities tend to have less coverage and income to afford implants. The document calls for solutions to improve access by influencing costs and quality of care.

Essay On Cochlear Implants
A cochlear implant consists of internal and external components that convert sound waves to electrical impulses and transmit them to the inner ear, allowing hearing without reading lips. Speech and language ability varies among individuals, with many developing age-appropriate skills. However, cochlear implants carry risks such as facial paralysis or meningitis from infection. Early identification and treatment of hearing loss benefits children's development, with studies showing better language scores for children who begin intervention before age 12 months.

Sam Coley - Practice-based research
This document summarizes a research project examining public service announcements produced by the BBC World Service Trust in Ethiopia from 2006-2007. The project aimed to promote sexual health among Ethiopian youth using radio programs. The research investigated production methods and the application of Western advertising techniques in a developing country context. Interviews were conducted with project staff and focus groups discussed reactions to different radio spots. The responses suggested the messages were generally clear but some content may have been seen as offensive. Overall reception of the radio programs was mixed due to the politicized environment and distrust of state-run radio.

- Current audiological practices in developing countries still rely heavily on behavioral audiometric testing which requires active patient participation, while developed countries now emphasize electrophysiological testing that does not require active participation.
- Electrophysiological tests like auditory brainstem response testing and otoacoustic emission testing provide objective measures of hearing. Developed countries also use advanced techniques like cochlear implants.
- To better diagnose and treat hearing loss early, some developed countries implement universal newborn hearing screening before 1 month of age to identify problems, with evaluation by 3 months and early intervention starting by 6 months if needed. Early diagnosis and treatment are important for language development.

The document discusses how healthcare is still using outdated methods while technology has been widely adopted in other areas. It argues that healthcare will become decentralized and move from hospitals to homes and phones through technologies like remote monitoring, wireless devices, and predictive analytics. This delocalization of healthcare using everyday consumer technologies will transform healthcare delivery by making it more convenient, personalized, and globally accessible for more people at lower costs. However, barriers still remain like payment policies, lack of evidence, and professionals and patients not yet demanding more digital options.
Cochlear Implants
This document discusses cochlear implants, including their history, benefits, risks, and impact on deaf culture. Cochlear implants are electronic devices that bypass damaged parts of the ear to directly stimulate the auditory nerve for those with severe to profound hearing loss. While they allow many users to detect sounds and improve communication, success varies individually. Controversy arose as some in the deaf community view implants as threatening deaf culture. The document outlines educational approaches and communication options for children with implants.

Novas diretrizes da OMS para os cuidados perinatais de mais qualidade
Novas diretrizes da OMS para os cuidados perinatais de mais qualidadeProf. Marcus Renato de Carvalho
Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.
Esta publicação só está disponível em inglês até o momento.
