English language and language-free detection of spatial processing disorders in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children
(International Journal of Audiology, 2020) -
An equivalent fluid representation of a layered elastic seafloor for acoustic propagation modelling
(2017)Modelling range dependent sound propagation over layered elastic seafloors with high shear speeds has proved to be a difficult problem for many widely used under water acoustic sound propagation models. Recent research and ... -
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 ... -
Estimating young Australian adults’ risk of hearing damage from selected leisure activities
(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 ... -
An estimation of the whole-of-life noise exposure of adolescent and young adult Australians with hearing impairment
(Journal of the American Academy of Audiology, 2016)Since amplified music gained widespread popularity, there has been community concern that leisure-noise exposure may cause hearing loss in adolescents and young adults who would otherwise be free from hearing impairment. ... -
Etiology and Audiological Outcomes at 3 Years for 364 Children in Australia
(U.S. National Institute of Health PubMed Central, 2013-03-28)Hearing loss is an etiologically heterogeneous trait with differences in the age of onset, severity and site of lesion. It is caused by a combination of genetic and/or environmental factors. A longitudinal study to examine ... -
Evaluating a Theoretically Informed and Cocreated Mobile Health Educational Intervention for First-Time Hearing Aid Users: Qualitative Interview Study
(2020)Background: Adults living with hearing loss have highly variable knowledge of hearing aids, resulting in suboptimal use or nonuse. This issue can be addressed by the provision of high-quality educational resources. Objective: ... -
Evaluation of headphone effects on performance in LiSN & Learn auditory training software
(National Acoustic Laboratories, 2014)Spatial processing is the ability to use binaural cues to separate and group sounds that are important for everyday listening. Spatial processing disorder (SPD) is the reduced ability to utilize binaural cues to segregate ... -
Evaluation of headphone effects on performance in the LiSN & Learn auditory training software
(ANU Undergraduate Research Journal, 2015)Spatial processing is the ability to use binaural cues to separate and group sounds that are important for everyday listening. Spatial processing disorder (SPD) is the reduced abilty to utilise binaural cues to segregate sounds. -
Evaluation of the NAL dynamic conversations test in older listeners with hearing loss
(International Journal of Audiology, 2017)The National Acoustic Laboratories Dynamic Conversations Test (NAL-DCT) is a new test of speech comprehension that incorporates a realistic environment and dynamic speech materials that capture certain features of everyday ... -
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 ... -
Evaluation of the self-fitting process with a commercially available hearing aid
(Journal of the American Academy of Audiology, 2016)Background: Hearing aids and personal sound amplification products (PSAPs) that are designed to be self-fitted by the user at home are becoming increasingly available in the online marketplace. While these devices are often ... -
Evidence-Based Practice and Emerging New Technologies

An examination of speech reception thresholds measured in a simulated reverberant cafeteria environment
(International Journal of Audiology, 2014)There is increasing demand in the hearing research community for the creation of laboratory environments that better simulate challenging real-world listeneing envrionments. -
An examination of speech reception thresholds measured in a simulated reverberant cafeteria environment
(2015)Objective: There is increasing demand in the hearing research community for the creation of laboratory environments that better simulate challenging real-world listening environments. The hope is that the use of such ...
