The Dichotic Digits difference Test (DDdT): Development, Normative Data and Retest Reliability Studies
(2015-08)
Background: The dichotic digits test is one of the most widely used assessment tools for
central auditory processing disorder (CAPD). However, questions remain concerning the
impact of cognitive factors on test ...
An evaluation of the performance of two binaural beamformers in complex and dynamic multitalker environments
(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 ...
Estimating Hearing Thresholds in Hearing-Impaired Adults through Objective Detection of Cortical Auditory Evoked Potentials
(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 ...
The relationship between cortical auditory evoked potential (CAEP) detection and estimated audibility in infants with sensorineural hearing loss
(International Society of Audiology, 2012)
To determine the effectiveness of objective statistical detection in CAEP testing to evaluate audibility in young infants with a sensorineural hearing loss.
Least-squares (LS) deconvolution of a series of overlapping cortical auditory evoked potentials: a simulation and experimental study
(Journal of Neural Engineering, 2014-08)
Objective: To evaluate the viability of disentangling a series of overlapping “cortical auditory evoked potentials” (CAEPs) elicited by different stimuli using least-squares (LS) deconvolution, and to assess the adaptation ...
NAL-NL2 empirical adjustments
(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 ...
Identification of Conductive Hearing Loss Using Air Conduction Tests Alone: Reliability and Validity of an Automatic Test Battery
(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 ...
