Hearing-aid assembly management among adults from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds: Toward the feasibility of self-fi tting hearing aids
(Informa Healthcare, 2013)
Objective: The purpose of the study was twofold: (1) to assess the ability of hearing-impaired adults in the developing world to independently and accurately assemble a pair of hearing
aids by following instructions that ...
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 ...
The NOISE (Non-Occupational Incidents Situations and Events) Database: A new research tool
(2013)
This paper describes the development of the NOISE (Non-Occupational Incidents Situations and Events) Database. The NOISE database currently contains 536 separate leisure activities and events, including noise level ...
The effects of adding realism to a conventional speech-in-noise test
(2014)
The speech reception threshold (SRT) is routinely used in
research and in the clinic to assess people’s ability to
understand speech in noise. The overall goal of this work was
to determine whether introducing realistic ...
Towards more cognitively challenging speech tests
(2013)
Speech tests are often poor predictors of the
performance of individual listeners in the real world. This
may be in part because they do not adequately engage
all of the auditory and cognitive processes involved in
real ...
Impact of the presence of auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder (ANSD) on outcomes of children at three years of age
(2013)
Objective—To determine the influence of the presence of auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder
(ANSD) on speech, language, and psycho-social development of children at three years of age.
