Effect of low-frequency gain and venting effects on the benefit derived from directionality and noise reduction in hearing aids
(International Journal of Audiology, 2007-11)AI-DI = articulation index weighted directivity index, ANOVA = analysis of variance, BKB = Bamford-Kowal-Bench sentences, BTE = Behind-the-ear, CD = Compact Disc, DI = directivity index, famplified = frequency at which the ... -
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 ... -
Hearing aids
(Hodder Arnold, 2008)Hearing aids partially overcome the deficits associated with a hearing loss. For a sensorineural hearing loss, there are several deficits to be overcome. Some sounds are inaudible. Other sounds can be detected because part ... -

Cortical auditory evoked potentials (CAEPs) in adults in response to filtered speech stimuli
(Journal of the American Academy of Audiology, 2010)Previous studies have demonstrated the CAEPs can be reliably elicited in response to speech stimuli in listeners wearing hearing aids. It is unclear, however, how close to the aided behavioral threshold (ie. at what ... -

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 ... -
Validity and reliability of in-situ air conduction thresholds measured through hearing aids coupled to closed and open instant-fit tips.

The Detection of Infant Cortical Auditory Evoked Potentials (CAEPs) Using Statistical and Visual Detection Techniques
(Journal American Academy of Audiology Vo. 21: 347-356 (2010), 2010)Background: With the advent of newborn hearing screening programs, the need to verify the fit of hearing aids in young infants has increased. The recording of cortical auditory evoked potentials (CAEPs) for this purpose ... -
The calculation of maximum permissible ambient noise levels for audiometric testing to a given threshold level with a specified uncertainty
