An examination of speech reception thresholds measured in a simulated reverberant cafeteria environment
Best, Virginia; Keidser, Gitte; Freeston, Katrina; Buchholz, Jorg (International Journal of Audiology, 2014)There is increasing demand in the hearing research community for the creation of laboratory environments that better simulate challenging real-world listeneing envrionments. -
An examination of speech reception thresholds measured in a simulated reverberant cafeteria environment
Best, Virginia; Keidser, Gitte; Buchholz, Jorg; Freeston, Katrina (2015)Objective: There is increasing demand in the hearing research community for the creation of laboratory environments that better simulate challenging real-world listening environments. The hope is that the use of such ... -

Factors influencing individual variation in perceptual directional microphone benefit
Keidser, Gitte; Dillon, Harvey; Convery, Elizabeth; Mejia, Jorge; Mejia, Jorge (Journal of the American Academy of Audiology, 2013-02)Background: Large variations in perceptual directional microphone benefit, which far exceed the variation expected from physical performance measures of directional microphones, have been reported in the literature. The ... -
Fitting WDRC Devices: Which Rationale and How Many Channels?
Keidser, Gitte; Grant, Frances (2000)Wide Dynamic Range Compression (WDRC) hearing aids are believed to be the best remedy for recruitment, which is experienced by most hearing impaired people. There are at least two theories about how WDRC devices should ... -

Keidser, Gitte; Convery, Elizabeth; Hamacher, Volkmar (Hearing Journal, 2011) -
Identification of Conductive Hearing Loss Using Air Conduction Tests Alone: Reliability and Validity of an Automatic Test Battery
Convery, Elizabeth; Keidser, Gitte; Seeto, Mark; Freeston, Katrina; Zhou, Dan; Zhou, Dan; Zhou, Dan; Dillon, Harvey (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins., 2014-01)The primary objective of this study was to determine whether a combination of automatically administered pure-tone audiometry and a tone-in-noise detection task, both delivered via an air conduction (AC) pathway, could ... -
In-situ audiometry: How low-frequency leakage can affect prescribed gain and perception.
Keidser, Gitte; Yeend, Ingrid; O'Brien, Anna; Hartley, Lisa (Hearing Review, 2011) -
The influence of social interaction and physical health on the association between hearing and depression with age and gender
Keidser, Gitte; Seet, Mark (Trends in Hearing, 2016)Recent epidemiological data suggest the relation between hearing difficulty and depression is more evident in younger and middle-aged populations than in older adults. There are also suggestions that the relation may be ... -
Introducing the NAL Dynamic Conversations Test: Development and Validation
Keidser, Gitte; Best, Virginia; Freeston, Katrina; Buchholz, Jorg (2016) -
Is the future of hearing aids in a flatpack? Issues of clinical support for self-fitting hearing aids
Convery, Elizabeth; Keidser, Gitte; Hickson, Louise; Meyer, Carly (2016)Self-fitting hearing aids (SFHAs) are gaining ground in the online marketplace, where they are often marketed as a low-cost alternative to traditional hearing health care (HHC). A recent evaluation of a commercially available ... -

Measuring communication difficulty through effortful speech
Beechey, Tim; Buchholz, Jorg; Keidser, Gitte (2018)This study describes the use of a novel conversation elicitation framework to collect fluent, dynamic conversational speech in simulated realistic acoustic environments of varying complexities. Our aim is to quantify ... -
Measuring communication effort in speech variability
Beechey, Tim; Buchholz, Jorg; Keidser, Gitte (. Fourth International Conference on Cognitive Hearing Science for Communication (CHSCOM). Linköping, Sweden, 2017)Interactive conversation is one of the most important activities that is affected by hearing impairment. • Measures of effort are important, in terms of both listening and communication, in understanding hearing ... -
NAL-NL2 empirical adjustments
Keidser, Gitte; Dillon, Harvey; O'Brien, Anna (Trends Amplification, 2012)NAL-NL1, the first procedure from the National Acoustic Laboratories (NAL) for prescribing non-linear gain, was a purely theoretically-derived formula aimed at maximizing speech intelligibility for any input level of speech ... -
