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 ...
Clinical experience of using cortical auditory evoked potentials (CAEPs) in the treatment of infant hearing loss in Australia
(Seminars in Hearing, 2015)
This paper presents the clinical protocol that is currently being used within Australian Hearing for infant hearing aid evaluation using cortical auditory evoked potentials (CAEPs). CAEP testing is carried out in the free ...
Allowing for Asymmetric Distributions When Comparing Auditory Processing Test Percentage Scores with Normative Data
(Journal of the American Academy of Audiology, 2014)
Background: Raw percentage scores can be transformed to age-specific Z scores, despite the asymmetric
distribution of normative data using a process that is applicable to any percentage (or proportion)-
based result.
Purpose: ...
Real-life efficacy and reliability of training a hearing aid
(2013)
We investigated if training of hearing aids result in effective and reliable outcomes. Hearing-2 impaired adults trained the compression characteristic from the NAL-NL2 prescription for 3 three weeks and compared their ...
Cognitive Spare Capacity: Evaluation data and its association with comprehension of dynamic conversations
(Frontiers in Psychology, 2015)
It is well established that communication involves the working memory system, which becomes increasingly engaged in understanding speech as the input signal degrades. The more resources allocated to recovering a degraded ...
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 ...
Client-Based Adjustments of Hearing Aid Gain: The Effect of Different Control Configurations
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins •, 2008)
Objectives: Facilitating the fine-tuning of advanced
hearing aids requires information about the acoustic
environment. The concept of a “trainable” hearing
aid may provide a more direct approach to
hearing aid fine-tuning ...
