Moseley, Pope L. Heat shock proteins and heat adaptation of the whole organism. J. Appl. Physiol. 83(5): 1413–1417, 1997.—Adaptation to heat may occur through acclimatization or thermotolerance; however, the linkage of these phenomena is poorly understood. The importance of heat shock proteins (HSPs) in thermotolerance and differences in their accumulation in organisms adapted to the heat suggest a role for HSPs in acclimatization as well. The role of HSPs in heat adaptation of the whole organism and the interrelationships among heat adaptation, endotoxin tolerance, and cytokine resistance through HSPs are reviewed.

Full textAbstract:
Adaptation or natural acclimatization results from the interaction between genetic variations and acclimatization resulting in individuals with ability to live and reproduce without problems at high altitudes. Testosterone is a hormone that increases erythropoiesis and inhibits ventilation. It could therefore, be associated to the adaptation to high altitudes. Excessive erythrocytosis, which in turn will develop chronic mountain sickness is caused by low arterial oxygen saturation and ventilatory inefficiency and blunted ventilatory response to hypoxia. Testosterone is elevated in natives at high altitude with excessive erythrocytosis (>21 g /dl hemoglobin in men and >19 g/dl in women). Natives from the Peruvian central Andes with chronic mountain sickness express gene SENP1 that enhances the activity of the androgen receptor. Results of the current investigations suggest that increase in serum testosterone and hemoglobin is not adequate for adaptation to high altitude.

Acclimatization is a process of an environmental adaptation from heterotrophic conditions to autotrophic conditions. In order to be successful in acclimatization, it requires proper planting media and enough nutrition supply. The objective of this experiment were to determine the best planting media and the best spraying frequency of leaf fertilizer on Pencil orchid growth during acclimatization period. The experimental design used was Randomized Complete Block Design, arranged in factorial (2 factors, 3 replications). The first factor was type of planting media: Coconut Coil, Rockwool, Wood Shavings, and Fern Roots. The second factor tested was fertilizing frequencies: every 2 days, every 3 days, and every 4 days. The results showed that the best media for acclimatization of Pencil orchid was fern root fertilized every four days, the best media for growing Pencil orchid was fern root and Wood Shavings, and the best fertilizing frequency to promote Pencil orchid growth were every 3 days or every 4 days.Keywords: Pencil orchid, acclimatization, planting media, fertilization

Full textAbstract:
Wastewater of tofu industry contains very high organic content, then anaerobic process is the most suitable for degrading this liquid waste. The hybrid upflow anaerobic sludge blanket reactor (HUASBR) was applied in this study because it has the advantage in ensuring good contact between biomass and substrate where a suspension medium and anaerobic filter are able to withstand more biomass in the attached media. Processing Anaerobic process is carried out with the help of bacteria where bacteria need seeding and acclimatization. Acclimatization is the process of adaptation of microorganisms to wastewater to be treated. This adaptation process is carried out by adding waste water from the smallest concentration to the actual concentration. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of variations in organic load rate (OLR) on the acclimatization process in removing COD, biogas production in accordance with the pH of the anaerobic degradation process so that the optimal process of the acclimatization process can be obtained. In this study, the acclimatization process took 200 days with variation of OLR in the range of 1.5 - 5.9 kg COD m-3 d-1 at HRT 24 hours and flow rate up (Vup) of 0.08 m/h. The objective of OLR variation was to evaluate acclimatization process on the HUASBR performance during process optimization. The highest biogas production and removal efficiency of COD were achieved in pH range of 6.5 - 7.6. While, the highest COD removal efficiency obtained was 86.57% on the 140th day and biogas production 7700 ml for OLR 4.8 kg COD m-3d-1 at HRT 24 h. Consequently, the optimum OLR for treating the tofu wastewater could be achieved up to 4.8 kg COD m-3d-1 and HRT 24h.

Full textAbstract:
To ensure homeostasis, ectothermic organisms adapt to environmental variations through molecular mechanisms. We previously reported that during the seasonal acclimatization of the common carp Cyprinus carpio, molecular and cellular functions are reprogrammed, resulting in distinctive traits. Importantly, the carp undergoes a drastic rearrangement of nucleolar components during adaptation. This ultrastructural feature reflects a fine modulation of rRNA gene transcription. Specifically, we identified the involvement of the transcription termination factor I (TTF-I) and Tip-5 (member of nucleolar remodeling complex, NoRC) in the control of rRNA transcription. Our results suggest that differential Tip5 enrichment is essential for silencing carp ribosomal genes and that the T0 element is key for regulating the ribosomal gene during the acclimatization process. Interestingly, the expression and content of Tip5 were significantly higher in winter than in summer. Since carp ribosomal gene expression is lower in the winter than in summer, and considering that expression concomitantly occurs with nucleolar ultrastructural changes of the acclimatization process, these results indicate that Tip5 importantly contributes to silencing the ribosomal genes. In conclusion, the current study provides novel evidence on the contributions of TTF-I and NoRC in the environmental reprogramming of ribosomal genes during the seasonal adaptation process in carp.

Full textAbstract:
Developmental shifts in stage-specific gene expression can provide a ready mechanism of phenotypic change by altering the rate or timing of ontogenetic events. We found that the high-altitude Tibetan antelope (Panthelops hodgsonii) has evolved an adaptive increase in blood-O2 affinity by truncating the ancestral ontogeny of globin gene expression such that a high-affinity juvenile hemoglobin isoform (isoHb) completely supplants the lower-affinity isoHb that is expressed in the adult red blood cells of other bovids. This juvenilization of blood properties represents a canalization of an acclimatization response to hypoxia that has been well documented in adult goats and sheep. We also found the genomic mechanism underlying this regulatory isoHb switch, revealing how a reversible acclimatization response became genetically assimilated as an irreversible adaptation to chronic hypoxia.

Plant growth and productivity influenced by light. Sunlight activates light-dependent reactions or LDR and Calvin cycle or LIR in plant. Different light intensity induce change of LDR and LIR. Adaptation through efficiency of photon absorption, regulation of photosystem II - photosystem I, and carbon fixation can make photosynthesis efficiently. This paper aims to review research on photosynthesis mechanism in sun and shade plants. Alteration of light absorption in plants produce morphological and physiological adaptations. Plant adaptation mechanism use sieve effect, light channeling, and acclimatization. Distribution of chlorophyll in both types of plants changed the photosynthesis photon flux density. Propagation and distribution of light needed through vacuoles to minimize the distance on electron transport chain. Physiological acclimatization accelerates by changing the composition of chlorophyll and PSII / PSI ratio. Shade plants have a high ratio PS II / PSI and high ratio chlorophyll a / b to increase the light-harvesting complex and make photosynthesis efficiently.

Full textAbstract:
Ocean temperatures have been accelerating at an alarming rate mainly due to anthropogenic fossil fuel emissions. This has led to an increase in the severity and duration of coral bleaching events. Predicted projections for the state of reefs do not take into account the rates of adaptation or acclimatization of corals as these have not as yet been fully documented. To determine any possible changes in thermal tolerances, manipulative experiments were conducted to precisely replicate the initial, pivotal research defining threshold temperatures of corals nearly five decades ago. Statistically higher calcification rates, survivorship, and lower mortality were observed inMontipora capitata, Pocillopora damicornis, andLobactis scutariain the present study at 31 °C compared to the original 1970 findings. First whole colony mortality was also observed to occur sooner in 1970 than in 2017 inM. capitata(3 d vs. 15 d respectively),L. scutaria(3 d vs. 17 d), and inP. damicornis(3 d vs. 13 d). Additionally, bleaching occurred sooner in 1970 compared to the 2017 experiment across species. Irradiance was an important factor during the recovery period for mortality but did not significantly alter calcification. Mortality was decreased by 17% with a 50% reduction in irradiance during the recovery period. These findings provide the first evidence of coral acclimatization or adaptation to increasing ocean temperatures for corals collected from the same location and using close replication of the experiment conducted nearly 50 years earlier. An important factor in this increased resistance to elevated temperature may be related to removal of the discharge of treated sewage into Kāne‘ohe Bay and resulting decrease in nitrification and eutrophication. However, this level of increased temperature tolerance may not be occurring rapidly enough to escape the projected increased intensity of bleaching events, as evidenced by the recent 2014 and 2015 high coral mortality in Hawai‘i (34%) and in the tropics worldwide.

Most advice for improving physiological strain in the heat includes maintaining hydration using long-term acclimation protocols (>10 days). Therefore, the major aims of this thesis were to examine; (i) effectiveness of short term (5-day) heat acclimation (STHA) with moderately and highly trained athletes; (ii) fluid regulatory strain has a thermally-independent role in heat adaptation; and, (iii) impact of STHA on a marker of thermotolerancè (inducible heat shock protein 70; HSP70).
Ten moderately trained males completed heat acclimation (Acc) under controlled hyperthermia (rectal temperature 38.5�C) for 90-min on five consecutive days (T[a] = 40�C, 60% RH), on two occasions separated by a five-week washout, in a cross-over design. One Acc was undertaken with euhydration (fluid replenishment; EUH) and one with dehydration (no fluid intake; DEH) during daily Acc bouts. Participants completed an exercising heat stress test (HST) one week before, then on the 2nd day after Acc for both regimes. HST involved cycling at 40% PPO for 90 min (T[a] = 35�C, 60% RH), 10 min rest and a ramp protocol (2% PPO each 30 s) to volitional fatigue. HSTs were further completed 1, 2, and 3 wks after Acc to track the acclimation decay. On a later occasion eight highly trained male rowers were heat acclimated under the same protocol but with DEH acclimation only and a rowing-specific HST (2000 m rowing performance test). Plasma volume (PV) at rest and cardiac output (Q̇) during HSTs were measured using CO and CO₂ rebreathing, respectively. A number of plasma constituents were measured: PV, AVP, aldosterone, HSP70, total protein, albumin, Na⁺, K⁺, Cl⁻ and osmolality.
Short term heat acclimation resulted in physiological adaptation and enhanced exercise capacity for moderately trained participants. Compared to EUH permissive DEH during Acc bouts conferred larger acclimation-induced increases in resting PV by 4.1% (95%CI: -1.5 to 9.8%; p=0.06), Q̇[F]. (4.2: 0.7 to 7.8 mlmin⁻� 100 ml⁻�; p0.009), FVC (0.06: 0.02 to 0.10 ml 100ml Tissue⁻�mmHg⁻�; p=0.006), end-exercise V[s] (45.9: 3.6 to 84.4 mL; p=0.02) and decreased end-exercise f[c] by 17% (19: -29 to 9 b�min⁻�; p=0.08). Cardiovascular adaptations except PV persisted for one wk, but not two wks after Acc indicating that cardiovascular-related benefits from STHA may not be mediated by hypervolaemic responses per se. The highly trained athletes had functional heat adaptations of similar magnitude to lesser fitness-adapted participants across DEH acclimation, including resting PV expansion (4.5: 0.7 to 8.3%) and increased performance (-4.0: -6.3 to 0.6[s]; p=0.02). Plasma total protein-corrected HSP70 concentration increased from rest to end-exercise across acclimation (p=0.001). There was a greater change from rest to end-exercise on day one versus day five Acc (p=0.05), indicating a reduced stress-induced increase and a protective adaptive change. There were weak to moderate relationships between hydration indices in dynamic circumstances indicating that there is no single measure to accurately assess hydration status.
In conclusion, short-term (5-day) heat acclimation was effective with adaptations more pronounced after fluid regulatory strain from a dehydration acclimation regime. Similar findings were found using highly trained and lesser- fitness adapted participants. Thermotolerance was increased by dehydration acclimation.

Full textAbstract:
The demise of reef-building corals potentially lies on the horizon, given ongoing climate change amid other anthropogenic environmental stressors. If corals cannot acclimatize or adapt to changing conditions, dramatic declines in the extent and health of the living reefs are expected within the next half century. The primary and proximal global threat to corals is climate change. Reef-building corals are dependent upon a nutritional symbiosis with photosynthetic dinoflagellates belonging to the group Symbiodinium. The symbiosis between the cnidarian host and algal partner is a stress-sensitive relationship; temperatures just 1°C above normal thermal maxima can result in the breakdown of the symbiosis, resulting in coral bleaching (the loss of Symbiodinium and/or associated photopigments) and ultimately, colony death. As ocean temperatures continue to rise, corals will either acclimatize or adapt to changing conditions, or will perish. By experimentally preconditioning the coral Acropora millepora via sublethal heat treatment, the coral acquired thermal tolerance, resisting bleaching during subsequent hyperthermal stress. The complex nature of the coral holobiont translates to multiple possible explanations for acclimatization: acquired thermal tolerance could potentially originate from the host itself, the Symbiodinium, or from the bacterial community associated with the coral. By examining the type of in hospite Symbiodinium and the bacterial community prior acclimation and after thermal challenge, it is shown that short-term acclimatization is not due to a distinct change in the dinoflagellate or prokaryote community. Though the microbial partnerships remain without considerable flux in preconditioned corals, the host transcriptome is dynamic. One dominant pattern was the apparent tuning of gene expression observed between preconditioned and non-preconditioned treatments, showing a modulated transcriptomic response to stress. Additionally several genes were upregulated in association with thermal tolerance, including antiapoptotic genes, lectins, and oxidative stress response genes. Upstream of two of these thermal tolerance genes, inhibitor of NFκB and mannose-binding lectin, DNA polymorphisms were identified which vary significantly between the northern and southern Great Barrier Reef. The impact of these mutations in putative promoter regions remains to be seen, but variation across thermally-disparate geography serves to generate hypotheses regarding the role of regulatory element evolution in a coral adaptation context.

Le réchauffement climatique a des conséquences sur la phénologie, les aires de répartition et la taille des organismes.

Les ectothermes dont le métabolisme est positivement corrélé à la température pourraient montrer, sous réchauffement climatique, une production accrue d'espèces réactives de l'oxygène (ERO).

Dans cette thèse, nous avons exploré la physiologie oxydative de poissons dans des contextes thermiques variés et ses conséquences sur la gestion des traits d'histoire de vie. Nos approches expérimentales et de terrains menées sur Oryzias latipes, Perca fluviatilis & Rutilus rutilus, nous ont permis de montrer ces liens. Ces résultats sont à compléter, notamment sur le terrain où de nombreux effets confondants ont rendu les conclusions difficilesGlobal warming affects the phenology, range and body-sizes of species. However, the underlying physiological processes remain poorly understood. Ectothermic organisms, whose metabolism is positively correlated with temperature, would show an increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) production under global warming. These ROS have been proposed to be one of the physiological triggers of the life history strategies. In this thesis, we explored the oxidative physiology of fish in different warming contexts and their effects on life-history traits. Our experimental and field approaches on Oryzias latipes, Perca fluviatilis & Rutilus rutilus, allowed us highlight these links. However, further studies are necessary, especially in natura where many confounding effects have made conclusions difficult

Poor communities already face severe challenges in meeting their basic needs, whether because of poor income opportunities, inadequate service delivery, or degraded ecosystems that can no longer support the needs of people. Non profit organisations who provide support for development are also challenged by financial restrictions and social and political structures that prevent or limit project development. Climate change is understood to have the most severe impact on the most vulnerable communities and sectors of communities by reducing the availability and accessibility of basic resources such as water, food and energy, impacting severely on human health and wellbeing, and further reducing the capacity of ecosystems to support livelihoods. This will add a layer of significant new complications to the ability of poor communities to maintain or improve standards of living, and further challenge non profit organisations that support such communitiesAnticipatory adaptation to climate change can reduce some of the impacts of climate change, and also address some key development stresses. This thesis aims to provide a framework that is relevant for supporting adaptation to climate change within the context of resource poor communities in a developing country. Non profit organisations and donor agencies could support success and autonomy in adaptation processes by making provision for locally defined understanding of adaptation, and locally determined processes and programmes. This can be taken further into implementation of programming that addresses local short term development priorities alongside, or as part of long term adaptation work. The research followed a number of steps involving a multitude of techniques including literature review, interviews, a survey, consultation with an expert group, further consultation with stakeholders, and a final electronic review. Its outcome is a strategy that can be used to support climate change adaptation in resource poor communities. A definition for adaptation is proposed as an interpretation of adaptation that is relevant in this context. The intended end goal of adaptation as defined in this research is a better form of development that : supports a harmonious and respectful relationship between humans and their natural resource base; averts further destructive global change or at the very least prevents it from becoming unmanageable; and manages the impacts of past and ongoing destructive change so that there is lowest possible loss of natural, human, or cultural resources. The term transformative adaptation emerged from the research processes to describe adaptation to climate change that concurrently addresses development challenges, is grounded in community development aspirations, integrates programming work across multiple thematic areas and approaches, and addresses the causes of climate change within adaptation interventions. The following broad guidelines are used to inform programming within the framework of transformative adaptation : Human communities are faced with an enormous challenge resulting from global change and sociopolitical injustices; Well planned anticipatory adaptation can limit exposure and vulnerability to at least some of the projected impacts of climate change; Adaptation to climate change incorporates a reduction of vulnerability to underlying development stresses, alongside a reduction of vulnerability to specific climate change stresses; Existing development work forms the foundation for adaptation interventions, acknowledging the interdependence of social, natural and economic systems and the need to maintain their health; Adaptation decision making is community based, and acknowledges that resource poor communities are best placed to establish their own development needs, drive implementation of interventions in own spaces, and identify own limits to adaptation; Adaptation work incorporates mitigation objectives so that the causes of climate change are addressed as part of the strategy for coping with climate change; Adaptation programming acknowledges the strong interlinkages between, and integrates work across, the thematic areas of water security, food sovereignty, energy security, land security, human wellbeing and livelihood diversity; Adaptation uses a broad set of approaches that spans research, knowledge sharing, advocacy, and investment in technology and infrastructure; There is flexibility in project design and implementation to allow room for experimentation with new concepts, and also to change design as knowledge, understanding, and geophysical, biophysical and sociopolitical conditions change.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (M. Sc. (Microbiology)) --University of Limpopo, 2017The recent oil crisis and environmental concerns over fossil fuels has led to the development of biofuels from lignocellulosic materials. Two main sugars from lignocellulose that can be used for bioethanol production are glucose and xylose. Xylose is problematic, because there are few yeasts that can utilise and ferment it. Xylose fermentation is not as efficient compared to glucose fermentation. Some of the factors that affect xylose fermentation include rate of xylose consumption, aeration, temperature and inhibitors. To improve ethanol production and fermentations and to make the process economically viable at industrial scale, there is a need to find a robust microorganism that can ferment efficiently in harsh industrial conditions. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate by means of evolutionary engineering (adaptation), the adaptability of seven locally isolated yeasts in terms of growth on high xylose concentration, in the presence of acetic acid as well as at elevated temperatures. Seven yeast strains (Candida guilliermondii MBI2, Candida sp. Kp6.2ey, Candida tropicalis Kp21ey, Candida tropicalis Kp42ey, Candida tropicalis Kp43ey, Ogatea methanolica Kp2ey and Pichia kudriavzevii Kp34ey) were adapted to ferment 60 g/L xylose as sole carbon source in the presence of 3 g/L acetic acid at 37°C. P. kudriavzevii Kp34ey was the only yeast to adapt to these conditions. The adapted P. kudriavzevii Kp34ey was compared with the parental strain (unadapted) and a reference strain, Scheffersomyces stipitis NRRLY-7124, using different volumetric oxygen transfer coefficient (KLa) rates. P. kudriavzevii Kp34ey (adapted and parental strain) and S. stipitis NRRLY-7124 produced the highest ethanol concentrations at a KLa value of 3.3. Overall, for all KLa values tested, the adapted strain performed better than the parental strain and S. stipitis NRRLY-7124. The adapted P. kudriavzevii Kp34ey yielded 4.03 g/L ethanol on 60 g/L xylose with 3 g/l acetic acid at 37°C at a KLa value of 3.3 and was the only yeast tested to grow under these conditions.

Environmental variation is ubiquitous in natural systems. The genetic and physiological mechanisms governing population-level responses to this variation will impact the process of speciation and the capacity for populations to persist in a changing climate. Until recently, population-level responses to environmental selection remained largely unexplored in marine systems due to the historical assumption that the inherently dispersive nature of most marine taxa would preclude their ability to specialize to local environments. This dissertation represents the first investigation of population-level responses to environmental variation in a Caribbean reef-building coral. This research integrates ecological, physiological, genetic and genomic methods to (1) determine patterns of local adaptation in the Florida Keys, (2) identify stressors driving adaptive responses, (3) distinguish the physiological and genetic mechanisms underlying coral adaptation and (4) assess the potential for future adaptation in the common reef-building coral Porites astreoides. Results demonstrate that corals adapt and/or acclimatize to their local habitat and that this specialization incurs fitness costs. Temperature differences between reefs likely play a selective role in differentiating inshore and offshore coral populations. Genetic and gene expression differences indicate that coral hosts play a substantial role in driving these population-level differences. Inshore corals exhibit greater gene expression plasticity, which may be involved in stabilizing physiological responses to temperature fluctuations experienced at inshore reefs. In addition, naïve juvenile coral recruits from inshore reefs exhibit a growth rate advantage over offshore recruits under elevated temperature treatment, suggesting that thermotolerance differences observed in adult populations could continue to evolve in response to climate change. Taken together these results provide novel insight into the drivers of reef decline in the Florida Keys and the role of the host in coral adaptation capacity.text

Les aides auditives (AA) sont les principaux outils d’intervention de réadaptation recommandés aux personnes âgées ayant une perte auditive, car elles offrent un large éventail d’avantages. Cependant, beaucoup de personnes qui possèdent des AA ne les utilisent pas ou les sous-utilisent. La raison la plus récurrente exprimée par ces non-utilisateurs d’AA est la difficulté persistante à comprendre les conversations dans des environnements bruyants. Il n’est pas mentionné si ces personnes ont essayé de porter leurs AA pendant un certain temps avant de décider de ne plus les porter. Dans l’éventualité où elles auraient abandonné peu de temps après l’obtention de leurs AA, il est possible que ces individus n’aient pas bénéficié d’une adaptation optimale à l’environnement sonore, appelée acclimatation auditive. L’objectif principal de cette thèse est d’évaluer l’apport de l’expérience avec les AA sur l’acclimatation auditive.
La première étude visait à déterminer, au moyen d'une revue systématique, si un effet d’acclimatation se produit après l’utilisation d’AA et, le cas échéant, à établir l’amplitude et l’évolution dans le temps de cet effet. Quatorze articles évaluant l’acclimatation via des mesures comportementales, d’auto-évaluation et électrophysiologiques répondaient aux critères d’inclusion et d’exclusion. Bien que leur qualité scientifique générale soit faible ou très faible, les résultats de la revue systématique appuient l’hypothèse qu’un effet d'acclimatation est présent, tel que documenté par les trois types de mesures. Pour la reconnaissance de la parole dans le bruit, l’amélioration varie entre 2 et 3 dB en termes de rapport signal sur bruit (RSB) sur une période minimale d'un mois. Cette étude met en évidence l'importance d’utiliser les AA après l’appareillage afin d’optimiser les bénéfices que celles-ci peuvent procurer.
L’objectif du deuxième article était de rapporter les résultats d’une étude longitudinale pour déterminer si l’acclimatation aux AA des personnes âgées peut être évaluée par leurs performances à des tâches de reconnaissance de la parole dans le bruit ainsi que par des mesures d’effort auditif. Trente-deux nouveaux utilisateurs d’AA et 15 utilisateurs expérimentés ont été évalués sur une période de 38 semaines en utilisant un paradigme de double tâche. Pour les nouveaux utilisateurs, les résultats ont révélé une amélioration significative de 2 dB RSB sur un test de reconnaissance de la parole dans le bruit après quatre semaines d’utilisation des AA, et aucune diminution de l’effort auditif, tel que mesuré par le coût proportionnel de la double tâche et par le temps de réponse à la tâche secondaire. Chez les utilisateurs expérimentés, les résultats n’ont dévoilé aucune amélioration de leur performance de reconnaissance de la parole dans le bruit suite à l’utilisation des AA.
En conclusion, les résultats confirment la présence d’un effet d’acclimatation tel qu’évalué par des mesures comportementales, d’auto-évaluation et électrophysiologiques suite à une utilisation régulière d’AA. Plus précisément, les nouveaux utilisateurs présentaient une amélioration cliniquement significative de 2 à 3 dB en termes de RSB après une utilisation régulière de leurs AA. Par conséquent, les nouveaux utilisateurs d’AA devraient être informés de cette possible amélioration au fil du temps, car cela pourrait les inciter à continuer de s’adapter à leurs AA plus longtemps avant de décider de les utiliser ou non.Hearing aids (HAs) are the primary rehabilitation intervention recommended for older adults with hearing loss, as they provide a wide range of benefits. However, a large proportion of individuals who own HAs does not use or underuse them. The most recurring reason reported by non-HA users is their difficulty to understand conversations in noisy environments even when they use HAs. It is unclear if these individuals tried to use their HAs for an extended period of time before abandoning their use. If they gave up too soon after being fitted with their HAs they may not have benefited from an auditory adaptation to the new auditory stimulation, referred to as auditory acclimatization. The main objective of this thesis is to evaluate the contribution of HA experience on auditory acclimatization. The first study aimed to determine, by means of a systematic review, if an acclimatization effect occurs after HA use and if so, to establish the magnitude and time-course of this effect. Fourteen articles that assessed acclimatization through behavioural, self-reported and physiological outcomes met the inclusion and the exclusion criteria. Although their general scientific quality was low or very low, the results of systematic review support the existence of an acclimatization effect as calculated by all three types of outcome measures. For speechrecognition- in-noise performance, improvement ranged from 2 to 3 dB in signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) over a minimum period of 1-month. This study highlights the importance of using the HAs on a regular basis after being fitted with HAs. The goal of the second study was to conduct a longitudinal investigation in order to determine whether acclimatization to HAs by older adults can be assessed data obtained on a speech-recognition-in-noise task and by measures of listening effort. Thirty-two new HA users and 15 experienced HA users were tested over a 38-week period using a dual-task paradigm. For new HA users, the results showed a significant improvement of 2 dB SNR on a speech-recognitionin- noise task after 4 weeks of using the HAs post fitting. Based on the proportional dual-task cost data and by the response time measures recorded on the secondary task. No improvement of speech perception performance in noise was observed for the experienced HA users. 8 The general findings from this thesis support the presence of an acclimatization effect as measured by behavioural, self-reported and physiological measures following regular HA use. Specifically, new HA users show a clinically significant change of 2 and 3 dB SNR on speechrecognition- in noise tasks following their initial fitting. Therefore, new HA users should be informed of the possible improvement in speech recognition over time, as it could entice them to pursue the use of their HAs for a longer period of time before deciding to abandon them.
