Detection of wave v using continuous wavelet transform and instanstaneous energy for hearing loss

Hearing screening is an essential test to detect hearing ability of someone. A good hearing ability is absolutely necessary for a normal speech development. In cases with pronounced hearing loss even no speech ability will develop at all causing serious communication problems and impaired intellectu...

A good hearing ability is absolutely necessary for a normal speech development.

Study showed that the IE performed better than the CWT with the sensitivity of 0.88 and specificity of 0.81 compared to the CWT with the sensitivity of 0.63 and specificity of 0.83.
