Does musical training protect noise-exposed musicians from the consequences of ‘hidden hearing loss’?
(2016)"Hidden hearing loss": noise-induced cochlear synaptopathy involving the selective loss of high-threshold auditory nerve fibres without affecting auditory thresholds, but resulting in perceptual deficits such as difficulty ... -
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
(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 ... -
Does the current Outreach program meet hearing-service needs in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander populations?
(National Acoustics Laboratories, 2018)Key findings Of the 77,162 estimated to have a hearing loss, 10,669 (13.8%) received hearing services through the funded program administered by Australian Hearing in 2017-18. Eligibility criteria for Australian Hearing ... -
A dual-task paradigm sensitive to listening effort in a realistic scenario
(43 rd ARO Annual Midwinter Meeting, January 25 ARO Annual Midwinter Meeting, January 25 ARO Annual Midwinter Meeting,, 2020) -
Early history of National Acoustic Laboratories

Effect of audibility on spatial release from speech-on-speech masking
(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 ... -
The effect of cross-over frequency on binaural hearing performance of adults using electric acoustic stimularions
(. Applied Health Economics and Health Policy., 2018)Objective: To investigate the effect of varying cross-over frequency (CF) settings for electric-acoustic (EA) stimulation in one ear combined with acoustic (A) hearing in the opposite ear on binaural speech perception, ... -
The effect of distance of earphone from ear on audiometer readings of threshold intensity levels for pure tones
(Commonwealth Acoustic Laboratories, 1965-03) -
The effect of frequency compression on front-back localization and speech recognition in noise
(Hearing Journal, 2010) -
The effect of functional hearing and hearing aid usage on verbal reasoning in a large community-dwelling population
(Ear & Hearing, 2015)Objectives: Verbal reasoning performance is an indicator of the ability to think constructively in everyday life, and relies on both crystallized and fluid intelligence. This study aimed to determine the effect of functional ... -
The Effect of Functional Hearing Loss and Age on Long- and Short-term Visuospatial 1 Memory: Evidence from the UK Biobank Resource
(2014)The UK Biobank offers cross-sectional epidemiological data collected on >500,000 individuals in the UK between 40 and 70 years of age. Using the UK Biobank data, the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of ... -
The effect of hearing loss on source-distance dependent speech intelligibility in rooms
(JASA Express Letters, 2017)Westermann and Buchholz [(2015). J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 137(2), 757–767] found substantial improvements in speech reception thresholds (SRTs) for normal hearing listeners in a reverberant auditorium when the target talker ... -
effect of leakage on the low-frequency calibration of supraaural headphones
(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
(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 ... -
The effect of nearby maskers on speech intelligibility in reverberant, multi-talker environments
(Journal of Acoustical Society of America, 2017-03)The extent to which informational masking (IM) is involved in real-world listening is not well understood. In the literature, IM effects of more than 8 dB are reported, but these experiments typically used simplified ...
