Does probe-tube verification of real-ear hearing aid amplification 1 characteristics improve outcomes in adult hearing aid users? A protocol for 2 a systematic review
Almufarrij1, Ibrahim; Munro, Kevin J; Dillon, Harvey (International Journal of Audiology, 2020)Using a probe-tube microphone to measure and adjust the real-ear 2 performance of the hearing aid to match the prescription target is recommended and widely 3 used in clinical practice. Hearing aid fitting software can ... -
Effect of audibility on spatial release from speech-on-speech masking
Glyde, Helen; Buchholz, Jorg; Nelson, Lillian; Best, Virginia; Dillon, Harvey; Cameron, Sharon; Hickson, Louise (Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2015)This study investigated to what extent spatial release from masking (SRM) deficits in hearingimpaired adults may be related to reduced audibility of the test stimuli. Sixteen adults with sensorineural hearing loss and ... -
effect of leakage on the low-frequency calibration of supraaural headphones
Dillon, Harvey (Journal of Acoustical Society of America, 1977) -
Effect of low-frequency gain and venting effects on the benefit derived from directionality and noise reduction in hearing aids
Keidser, Gitte; Carter, Lyndal; Chalupper, Josef; Dillon, Harvey (International Journal of Audiology, 2007-11)AI-DI = articulation index weighted directivity index, ANOVA = analysis of variance, BKB = Bamford-Kowal-Bench sentences, BTE = Behind-the-ear, CD = Compact Disc, DI = directivity index, famplified = frequency at which the ... -
Effects of lifetime noise exposure on the middle-age human auditory brainstem response, tinnitus and speech-in-noise intelligibility
Valderrama, Joaquin; Beach, Elizabeth; Yeend, Ingrid; Sharma, Mridula; Van Dun, Bram; Dillon, Harvey (2018)Recent animal studies have shown that the synapses between inner hair cells and the dendrites of the spiral ganglion cells they innervate are the elements in the cochlea most vulnerable to excessive noise exposure. ... -
The effects of noise exposure and musical training on suprathreshold auditory processing
Yeend, Ingrid; Beach, Elizabeth Francis; Sharma, Mridula; Dillon, Harvey (Hearing Research, 2017-08)Recent animal research has shown that exposure to single episodes of intense noise causes cochlear synaptopathy without affecting hearing thresholds. It has been suggested that the same may occur in humans. If so, it is ... -
Effects of peaks in hearing aid frequency response curves on comfortable listening levels of normal hearing subjects
Byrne, Denis; Christen, Rudi; Dillon, Harvey (Australian Journal of Audiology, 1981) -
Efficacy of the LiSN & Learn auditory training software: randomized blinded controlled study
Cameron, Sharon; Dillon, Harvey; Glyde, Helen (Audiology Research, 2012)Children with a spatial processing disorder (SPD) require a more favorable signal-to-noise ratio in the classroom because they have difficulty perceiving sound source location cues. Previous research has shown that a novel ... -
Electrophysiological evidence of noise-induced cochlear synaptopathy in humans
Valderrrama, Joaquin; Beach, Elizabeth; Yeend, Ingrid; Sharma, Mridula; Van Dun, Bram; Dillon, Harvey (2018) -
English language and language-free detection of spatial processing disorders in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children
Mealings, Kiri; Dillon, Harvey (2020)Objective: The aim of this study was to compare speech reception thresholds in noise measured with the Listening in Spatialized Noise – Universal test (LiSN-U; which requires no English knowledge) with those measured from ... -
English language and language-free detection of spatial processing disorders in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children
Mealings, Kiri; Dillon, Harvey (International Journal of Audiology, 2020) -
Estimating Hearing Thresholds in Hearing-Impaired Adults through Objective Detection of Cortical Auditory Evoked Potentials
Van Dun, Bram; Dillon, Harvey; Seeto, Mark (National Acoustic Laboratories, 2014)Background: Hearing threshold estimation based on cortical auditory evoked potentials (CAEPs) has been applied for some decades. However, available research is scarce evaluating the accuracy of this technique with an ... -
Evaluation of headphone effects on performance in LiSN & Learn auditory training software
Lo, Chi Yhun; Dillon, Harvey; Cameron, Sharon; McMahon, Catherine M. (National Acoustic Laboratories, 2014)Spatial processing is the ability to use binaural cues to separate and group sounds that are important for everyday listening. Spatial processing disorder (SPD) is the reduced ability to utilize binaural cues to segregate ... -
Evaluation of headphone effects on performance in the LiSN & Learn auditory training software
Lo, Chi Yhun; Dillon, Harvey; Cameron, Sharon; McMahon, Catherine (ANU Undergraduate Research Journal, 2015)Spatial processing is the ability to use binaural cues to separate and group sounds that are important for everyday listening. Spatial processing disorder (SPD) is the reduced abilty to utilise binaural cues to segregate sounds. -
An evaluation of the performance of two binaural beamformers in complex and dynamic multitalker environments
Best, Virginia; Mejia, Jorge; Freeston, Katrina; Van Hoesel, Richard J.; Dillon, Harvey (International Journal of Audiology, 2015)Objective: Binaural beamformers are super-directional hearing aids created by combining microphone outputs from each side of the head. While they offer substantial improvements in SNR over conventional directional hearing ... -
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 ... -
Hearing aids
Dillon, Harvey (Hodder Arnold, 2008)Hearing aids partially overcome the deficits associated with a hearing loss. For a sensorineural hearing loss, there are several deficits to be overcome. Some sounds are inaudible. Other sounds can be detected because part ... -
