Development of Telscreen: a telephone-based speech-in-noise hearing screening test with a novel masking noise and scoring procedure
(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 ...
Development and evaluation of a test for the assessment of syllabic parsing ability in children
(2016)
The Parsing Syllable Envelopes test (ParSE) was developed to
investigate whether some children have a deficit in their ability to
detect syllable boundaries.
Two case studies using the Dichotic Digits difference Test (DDdT) to disentangle true dichotic deficits from cognitive disorders
(2016)
•Dichotic tests are the most commonly used test in CAPD
batteries.
•Fails on dichotic tests are correlated with real-life listening
difficulties (Tomlin et al., 2015).
BUT…
•Dichotic test results are also correlated ...
Delving into ‘hidden hearing loss’: Results from a large-scale behavioural investigation
(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 ...
