Bringing HEARsmart™ to music venues in Victoria
Beach, Elizabeth; Sewell, Jane; McGinnity, Siobhan; O'Halloran, Paul; Cowan, Robert (2016)Previous research suggests that patrons of nightclubs and live music venues experience tinnitus and other symptoms more than non-patrons, and that regular patrons would prefer noise levels to be lower than the levels ... -
Changing beliefs about leisure noise: using health promotion models to investigate young people’s engagement with and attitudes toward hearing health.
Gilliver, Megan; Beach, Elizabeth; Williams, Warwick (2015)Objective: To investigate factors influencing young people’s motivation to reduce their leisure noise exposure, and protect their hearing health Design: Questionnaires were conducted online to investigate young people’s ... -
Clubbers’ Attitude Toward Earplugs: Better with Use
Nielsen, Lillian Bjorn; Beach, Elizabeth; Gilliver, Megan (Hearing Journal, 2014-04)While earplugs have been identified as an effective way for patrons of loud music venues to mitigate the risks from noise exposure, such hearing protectors are rarely worn. Time and experience may change that, though, ... -
Cognitive and auditory factors underlying the ability to understand speech in noise: clinical implications for diagnosis and rehabilitation
Yeend, Ingrid; Beach, Elizabeth; Sharma, Mridula; Dillon, Harvey (2017)A proportion of listeners report problems understanding speech in background noise yet their audiogram is clinically normal. A growing body of research in the cognitive hearing science field suggests that both hearing and ... -
Cognitive and auditory factors underlying the ability to understand speech in noise: clinical implications for diagnosis and rehabilitation [Poster]
Yeend, Ingrid; Beach, Elizabeth; Sharma, Mridula; Dillon, Harvey (2017) -
Delving into ‘hidden hearing loss’: Perspectives from an Australian behavioural study
Yeend, Ingrid; Beach, Elizabeth; Pang, Jermy; Valderrama, Joaquin; Sharma, Mridula; Dillon, Harvey (2016) -
Delving into ‘hidden hearing loss’: Results from a large-scale behavioural investigation
Yeend, Ingrid; Beach, Elizabeth; Sharma, Mridula; Pang, Jermy; Dillon, Harvey (2016)Some adults report problems understanding speech in background noise yet their audiograms are clinically normal. Animal studies suggest this may result from noise-induced damage to synaptic connections between auditory ... -
Development of Telscreen: a telephone-based speech-in-noise hearing screening test with a novel masking noise and scoring procedure
Dillon, Harvey; Beach, Elizabeth; Seymour, John; Carter, Lyndal; Golding, Maryanne (International Journal of Audiology, 2016)Objective: In 2006 the National Acoustic Laboratories was commissioned to create a telephone-based hearing screening test. Design: NAL developed ‘Telscreen’, a speech-in-noise test modelled on the Dutch and UK telephone ... -
Does musical training protect noise-exposed musicians from the consequences of ‘hidden hearing loss’?
Yeend, Ingrid; Beach, Elizabeth; Sharma, Mridula; Pang, Jermy (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 ... -
A dual-task paradigm sensitive to listening effort in a realistic scenario
Valderrama, Joaquin; Jevelle, Paul; Miles, Kelly; Beach, Elizabeth (43 rd ARO Annual Midwinter Meeting, January 25 ARO Annual Midwinter Meeting, January 25 ARO Annual Midwinter Meeting,, 2020) -
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. ... -
Electrophysiological evidence of noise-induced cochlear synaptopathy in humans
Valderrrama, Joaquin; Beach, Elizabeth; Yeend, Ingrid; Sharma, Mridula; Van Dun, Bram; Dillon, Harvey (2018) -
An estimate of prevalence of hearing impairment based on self-report for a large Australian cohort
Beach, Elizabeth; Gilliver, Megan; Carter, Lyndal; Williams, Warwick (2018) -
Estimating young Australian adults’ risk of hearing damage from selected leisure activities
Beach, Elizabeth (Ear & Hearing, 2012)Several previous studies have attempted to estimate the risk of noise-induced 2 hearing loss from loud leisure noise. Some of these studies may have over-estimated the 3 risk because they used noise estimates taken from ... -
Extended high-frequencies and working memory provide diagnostic clues to speech-in-noise problems in adults with normal hearing
Yeend, Ingrid; Beach, Elizabeth; Sharma, Mridula (2018) -

Hearing Protection Devices: Use at Work Predicts use at Play
Beach, Elizabeth; Gilliver, Megan; Williams, Warwick (Archives of Environmental & Occupational Health, 2015)Use of hearing protection devices (HPDs) at work is widespread and well researched, but less is known about HPD usage in high-noise leisure activities. This study investigated 8,144 Downloaded by [National Acoustic Labs], ...
