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 ... -
Provision, perception and use of trainable hearing aids in Australia: a survey of clinicians and hearing impaired adults
(International Journal of Audiology, 2016)Objective. This study set out to obtain information on the impact of trainable hearing aids among clinicians and hearing aid users and candidates. Design. Two online adaptive surveys were developed to evaluate provision, ... -
Pure tone hearing thresholds and leisure noise: is there a relationship

A qualitative study of earplug use as a health behaviour: The role of noise injury symptoms, self-efficacy, and an affinity for music
(2010)The use of earplugs in loud music venues is confined to a small minority who wish to avoid hearing damage from excessive noise exposure. Using the framework of the health belief model (HBM), structured interviews were held ... -
Quantitative analysis on the environmental impact benefits from the bandwidth-controlled marine seismic source technology
(2017)A new marine seismic surveying source technology (eSource) has recently been developed based on physical control of the bandwidth of the source elements (Coste et al., 2014). The objective of the new seismic source is to ... -

A Questionnaire-Based Algorithm for Assessing Occupational Noise Exposure of Construction Workers
(Occupational and Environmental Medicine, 2017)Abstract Objectives Occupational noise exposure is a major cause of hearing loss worldwide. In order to inform preventative strategies, we need to further understand at a population level which workers are most at ...
