NAVAL APPLICATIONS OF MARINE ACOUSTICS
(2017)Both communities have interests (or requirements) that can be described by the parameters of time and space. The science and technology of Marine Acoustics, dependent on specific investigators and their focus, is not ... -
Near-field acoustic holography and non-negative intensity for prediciton of sound radiation
(Acoustics 2015 Hunter Valley 15-18 November 2015, 2015)Temperature inversion and wind conditions are known to have a significant effect on noise propagation over long distances. Consideration of such conditions is a challenging part of assessing environmental noise propagation ... -
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 ... -
Noise exposure in the balance: Managing occupational and leisure risks to hearing health
(Journal of Health Safety and Environment, 2014)Health and safety risks that are present in both occupational and home/leisure environments can pose difficulties for health and safety professionals when determining risk mitigation responsibilities. Where work is defined ... -
Noise levels in fitness classes are still too high: Evidence from 1997-98 and 2009-11
(2013)Fitness instructors routinely use high music volumes which may be harmful to hearing. This study assessed noise levels during 35 low-intensity and 65 high-intensity fitness classes in 1997-98 and 2009-11. Questionnaires ... -
Noise with attitude: Influences on young people’s decisions to protect their hearing
(2013)Objective: To investigate young people’s experiences and attitudes towards hearing health and their participation in noise reduction behaviours, to better understand how education and prevention messages may be better ... -
Objective cortical evaluation of infants wearing hearing aids
(American Academy of Audiology, 2014-07) -
Objective measurement of speech audibility - value to the client and clinic
(Audiology Australia, 2013-04)The Longitudinal Outcomes of Children with Hearing Impairment (LOCHI) study, being carried out through the National Acoutic Lacoratories (NAL) and Hearing Cooperative Research Centre (CRC), has been running since 2007. -
Obligatory CAEP testing in infants – a five year review
(National Acoustics Laboratories, 2005)In the year 2000, NAL and the Cooperative Research Centre (CRC) for Cochlear Implants and Hearing Innovation, commenced a series of studies using Cortical Auditory Evoked Potential (CAEP) testing. The overall aim of these ... -
On the relationship between functional hearing and depression
(International Journal of Audiology, 2015-06)Objective: To establish the effect of self-rated and measured functional hearing on depression, taking age and gender into account. Additionally, the study investigates if hearing aid usage mitigates the effect, and if ... -
An Open Source Noise Calculation Toolkit for Acoustics
(2017)Many Acoustic Engineers today use custom spreadsheets or custom functions to perform their calculations to further enhance the speed and reliability of their calculations. This offers benefits over manually entering tables ... -
An opinion on the assessment of people who may have an auditory processing disorder
(2012)Abstract We need to rethink how we assess auditory processing disorder (APD). The current use of test batteries, while necessary and well-accepted, is at risk of failing as the size of these batteries increases. To counter ...
