Peer Review of “Cross-Modal Sensory Boosting to Improve High-Frequency Hearing Loss: Device Development and Validation”

Peer Review of “Cross-Modal Sensory Boosting to Improve High-Frequency Hearing Loss: Device Development and Validation”

The self-reported benefit is absolutely important, but based on the Introduction, the reader is interested in knowing how objective speech recognition improved with the wristband for the selected consonants. If these data are available, it would be helpful to add them. If not, it would be helpful if the authors could explain—somewhere in the manuscript—why this testing was not completed/reported.

Authors’ Response to Peer Reviews of “Cross-Modal Sensory Boosting to Improve High-Frequency Hearing Loss: Device Development and Validation”

Authors’ Response to Peer Reviews of “Cross-Modal Sensory Boosting to Improve High-Frequency Hearing Loss: Device Development and Validation”

Response: We have added the following segment to the Results section: “Time wearing the wristband and time exposed to speech was verified through collection of data from backend logging that records when the wristband is turned on or off and when a phoneme is detected. As seen in Figure 5 participants wore the wristband for and average of 12.9 (SD=8.1) hours per day and were exposed to speech for an average of 6.7 (SD=3.3) hours per day.” “One potential hypothesis” should be “One potential explanation.”

Cross-Modal Sensory Boosting to Improve High-Frequency Hearing Loss: Device Development and Validation

The wristband receives sound from the environment through an onboard microphone and uses a machine learning algorithm to filter background noise (BN) and extract target phonemes from speech. Each phoneme signal is mapped to its own unique linear resonant actuator (LRA) in the strap of the wristband where it is felt as a vibration on the skin. There are four LRAs embedded within the wristband strap, giving each target phoneme a unique spatial location on the wrist.

Accuracy of a Standalone Atrial Fibrillation Detection Algorithm Added to a Popular Wristband and Smartwatch: Prospective Diagnostic Accuracy Study

Accuracy of a Standalone Atrial Fibrillation Detection Algorithm Added to a Popular Wristband and Smartwatch: Prospective Diagnostic Accuracy Study

However, accuracy needs to be assessed for all new smartwatch or wristband–standalone PPG-AF algorithm combinations, and this is lacking in literature. The primary aim of this study was to assess the accuracy of a well-known standalone PPG-AF detection algorithm added to a popular wristband and smartwatch, with regard to discriminating AF and sinus rhythm, in a group of patients with AF before and after CV. The secondary objective was to find patient-related predictors of a bad-quality PPG signal.
