Classification of active sonar echoes using a one-class classification technique
(2017)A typical approach to data classification based on machine learning algorithms is binary classification. This in-volves the classifier to be trained using representative data sets provided from two object classes. In ... -
Classroom acoustic conditions: Understanding what is suitable through a review of national and international standards, recommendations, and live classroom measurements
(2016)Children spend 45-75% of their time in the classroom listening to their teacher and classmates. As current teaching methods have a strong focus on group work activities, contemporary classrooms are prone to high noise ... -
Client-Based Adjustments of Hearing Aid Gain: The Effect of Different Control Configurations
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins •, 2008)Objectives: Facilitating the fine-tuning of advanced hearing aids requires information about the acoustic environment. The concept of a “trainable” hearing aid may provide a more direct approach to hearing aid fine-tuning ... -
Clinical experience of using cortical auditory evoked potentials (CAEPs) in the treatment of infant hearing loss in Australia
(Seminars in Hearing, 2015)This paper presents the clinical protocol that is currently being used within Australian Hearing for infant hearing aid evaluation using cortical auditory evoked potentials (CAEPs). CAEP testing is carried out in the free ... -

Clubbers’ Attitude Toward Earplugs: Better with Use
(Hearing Journal, 2014-04)While earplugs have been identified as an effective way for patrons of loud music venues to mitigate the risks from noise exposure, such hearing protectors are rarely worn. Time and experience may change that, though, ... -
Cognitive and auditory factors underlying the ability to understand speech in noise: clinical implications for diagnosis and rehabilitation
(2017)A proportion of listeners report problems understanding speech in background noise yet their audiogram is clinically normal. A growing body of research in the cognitive hearing science field suggests that both hearing and ... -
Cognitive Spare Capacity: Evaluation data and its association with comprehension of dynamic conversations
(Frontiers in Psychology, 2015)It is well established that communication involves the working memory system, which becomes increasingly engaged in understanding speech as the input signal degrades. The more resources allocated to recovering a degraded ... -
Coherent leakage of sound from a mixed layer surface duct - revisted

Comments on “Factors influencing tests of auditory processing: A perspective on current issues and relevant concerns” by Tony Cacace and Dennis McFarland.
(2014)Auditory processing is defined as a modality-specific activity, and hence an auditory processing disorder cannot be diagnosed unless it can be shown that any deficit in performance is limited to, or at least predominantly ... -

Comorbidity of auditory processing, attention, and memory in children with word reading difficulties
(2019)Objectives: To document the auditory processing, visual attention, digit memory, phonological processing, and receptive language abilities of individual children with identified word reading difficulties. Design: ... -
Comparative reliability of warble tone thresholds under earphones and in sound field
(Australian Journal of Audiology, 1981) -
Comparison of ceiling absorption placement configurations in a corridor
(2017)It is generally acknowledged that speech related noise is a common distractor in many work environments, e.g., open-plan offices. There are many studies and some standards that address these noise related issues, but they ... -
A comparison of NAL and DSL prescriptive methods for paediatric hearing-aid fitting: Predicted speech intelligibility and loudness
(2013)OBJECTIVE—To examine the impact of prescription on predicted speech intelligibility and loudness for children. DESIGN—A between-group comparison of Speech Intelligibility Index (SII) and loudness, based on hearing aids ...
