Major findings of the LOCHI study on children at 3 years of age and implications for audiological management
(2013)The Longitudinal Outcomes of Children with Hearing Impairment (LOCHI) study addresses the evidence gap regarding the efficacy of universal newborn hearing screening (UNHS) for improving outcomes through a prospective ... -
The measurement of improvement in speech hearing given by hearing aids and its relation to hearing aid use
(Commonwealth Acoustic Laboratories, 1968-01) -
Measurement of radiated noise from surface ships - influence of the sea surface reflection coefficient on the Lloyd's mirror effect
(2017)The assessment of ship underwater noise signature is highly important not only to a range of naval applications but for the assessment and mitigation of shipping related noise impact on marine animals. One of the main ... -
Measurements and analysis of Calaid-FM electroacoustic performance

Measuring communication difficulty through effortful speech
(2018)This study describes the use of a novel conversation elicitation framework to collect fluent, dynamic conversational speech in simulated realistic acoustic environments of varying complexities. Our aim is to quantify ... -
Measuring communication effort in speech variability
(. Fourth International Conference on Cognitive Hearing Science for Communication (CHSCOM). Linköping, Sweden, 2017)Interactive conversation is one of the most important activities that is affected by hearing impairment. • Measures of effort are important, in terms of both listening and communication, in understanding hearing ... -
The mechanical properties of earmuffs
(2011)The physical properties of circum-aural hearing protectors, such as mass, clamping force and cup volume, have an influence on the attenuation performance of the device. This paper closely examines the physical and acoustic ... -
Medical practitioners’ attitudes to hearing rehabilitation for older adults
(2011)Objective: Medical practitioners have the potential to play a significant role in older adults’ help seeking behaviour in relation to hearing rehabilitation. The current study aimed to look at attitudinal factors that ... -
Metamaterial design for middle-low frequency elastic wave miti-gation
(2017)In the past two decades, meta-materials have drawn increasing attention from researchers due to their unique properties, including wave attenuation with potential application in acoustic engineering. A number of meta-material ... -
Monte Carlo model of acoustic response from a bubble cloud
(2017)In various sonar applications it is important to model the acoustic response of a bubble cloud to a sonar pulse of different types. In a typical approximate approach, a bubble cloud is modelled as a set of point scatterers. ...
