Perception and management of a self-fitting hearing aid among older adults
(2011)NAL is currently investigating if a ‘self-fitting hearing aid’ (SFHA), a device that users can program themselves without the need for audiological or computer support, is a viable solution for populations who have ... -
Consonant Perception by Adults with Bimodal Fitting
(Thieme, 2011)Many adults who receive a cochlear implant in one ear have usable residual hearing in the opposite ear. The simultaneous use of a cochlear implant (CI) and a hearing aid (HA) in the contralateral ear, or bimodal fitting, ... -
Medical practitioners’ attitudes to hearing rehabilitation for older adults
(2011)Objective: Medical practitioners have the potential to play a significant role in older adults’ help seeking behaviour in relation to hearing rehabilitation. The current study aimed to look at attitudinal factors that ... -
The mechanical properties of earmuffs
(2011)The physical properties of circum-aural hearing protectors, such as mass, clamping force and cup volume, have an influence on the attenuation performance of the device. This paper closely examines the physical and acoustic ... -
Listening in Spatialized Noise- Sentences Test (LiSN-S): Normative and retest reliability data for adolescents and adults up to 60 years of age

Efficacy of the LiSN & Learn auditory training software: randomized blinded controlled study
(Audiology Research, 2012)Children with a spatial processing disorder (SPD) require a more favorable signal-to-noise ratio in the classroom because they have difficulty perceiving sound source location cues. Previous research has shown that a novel ... -
What factors influence variation in directional microphone benefit?
(2012)Many studies have demonstrated an average directional microphone (dirmic) benefit of 3-3.5 dB, a value that corresponds well to expectations from physical performance measures of conventional directional instruments. A ... -
Sensitivity of cortical auditory evoked potential detection for hearing-impaired infants in response to short speech sounds
(Audiology Research, 2012)Cortical auditory evoked potentials (CAEPs0 are an emerging tool for hearing aid fitting evaluation in young children who cannot provide reliable behavioral feedback. It is therefore useful to determine the relationship ... -
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 ...
