PLUM and HATS: Helping to detect children with hearing loss from otitis media
(Audiology Now 80, 2020)Children are born ready to learn. How their brain develops is strongly affected by their early experiences with other people and the world around them. There is good evidence on the importance of the first thousand days ... -
Poorer speech reception threshold in noise is associated with lower brain volume in auditory and cognitive processing regions
(Journal of Speech Language and Hearing Research, 2018) -
Predicting and managing rolling noise emissions from trains on the Perth metro passenger rail network
(2017)This paper presents an investigation of rolling noise emissions from trains operating on the Perth electrified passenger network, as an outcome of the Public Transport Authority's strategic initiatives in noise management. ... -
Predictors of Early Reading Skill in 5-Year-Old Children With Hearing Loss Who Use Spoken Language
(2013)This research investigated the concurrent association between early reading skills and phonological awareness ( PA ), print knowledge, language, cognitive, and demographic variables in 101 five-year-old children with ... -
Predictors of noise exposure in construction workers
(2017)Construction workers are exposed to hazardous noise from a wide variety of tools and equipment. This study aims to determine the workplace tasks associated with being exposed to occupational construction noise above the ... -
Preliminary observations on outcomes with a self-fitted hearing aid
(2016)The President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST) report1 that was submitted to the US Government last October has sparked much debate about the future provision of hearing health care in the US2-7. The ... -
Prescribing Amplification for Children: Adult-Equivalent Hearing Loss, Real-Ear Aided Gain, and NAL-NL1
(Sage Publications, 2003-03)This paper focuses on how the acoustical differences between the ear canals of adults and children affect amplification requirements and describes efficient strategies to allow for these differences when prescribing and ... -
Prevalence and Remediation of Spatial Processing Disorder (SPD) in Indigenous Children in Regional Australia
(International Journal of Audiology, 2014)This study aimed to determine the prevalence of spatial processing disorder (SPD) in the Indigenous Australian population and the benefit of and logistical issues arising from remediation of the disorder. Design: ... -
Programming characteristics of cochlear implants in children: effects of etiology and age at implantation
(2017)Objective: We investigated effects of etiology and age at implantation on changes in threshold (T) levels, comfortable (C) levels and dynamic range (DR) for cochlear implants (CIs) in children over the first five years of ... -
Proof of concept of a single-channel EEG measure of engagement in virtual rehabilitation
(Clinical EEG & Neuroscience, 2020)Stroke rehabilitation suffers from low levels of patient engagement, impeding recovery. 2 Virtual rehabilitation (VR) approaches can improve outcomes, however there is limited 3 understanding of the participant’s user ... -
Propagation of underwater noise from an offshore seismic survey in Australia to Antarctica: measurements and modelling
(2017)An offshore seismic survey was conducted over the western edge of the continental shelf in Bass Strait in 2006. Underwater noise from this survey was recorded on an autonomous sound recorder deployed in the Southern Ocean ... -
Providing earplugs to young adults at risk encourages protective behaviour in music venues
(Sage Publications, 2014-09)For some young people, nightclubs and other music venues are a major source of noise exposure arising from a combination of very high noise levels; relatively long attendance duration; and frequent, sustained participation ... -
