Growth in the experimental system used to characterize the 120-min lag phase of S. Typhimurium. (A) Overview of system for obtaining lag-phase cells. See Materials and Methods for details. (B) Growth curve showing lag phase in the experimental culture flask. Lag time was determined to be 2.09 h (n = 3).
CROS hearing aid. A Contralateral Routing Of Signals (CROS) hearing aid is a type of hearing aid that is used to treat unilateral hearing loss. It takes sound from the ear with poorer hearing and transmits to the ear with better hearing. Most systems are now wireless and are either behind the ear or custom built in-the-ear systems.
The IIC and Lyric hearing aid are both designed to be fit in the second bend of the ear canal. This is a deep insertion fitting that begins where a standard CIC ends and ends only millimetres from the ear drum. The IIC is a custom molded hearing aid that is removed daily, the same as all traditional hearing aids.
