Better-ear glimpsing at low frequencies in normal-hearing and hearing-impaired listeners
Rana, Baljeet; Buchholz, Jorg (2016) -
Bilateral versus unilateral cochlear implantation in adult listeners: speech on speech masking and multitasker localization
Rana, Baljeet; Buchholz, Jorg; Morgan, Catherine; Sharma, Mridula; Weller, Tobias; Konganda, Shivali Appaiah; Shirai, Kyoko; Kawano, Atsushi (Trends in Hearing, 2017) -
Development and preliminary evaluation of a new test of ongoing speech comprehension
Best, Virginia; Keidser, Gitte; Buchholz, Jorg; Freeston, Katrina (2015)Objective: The overall goal of this work is to create new speech perception tests that more closely resemble real world communication and offer an alternative or complement to the commonly used sentence recall test. Design: ... -
Effect of audibility on spatial release from speech-on-speech masking
Glyde, Helen; Buchholz, Jorg; Nelson, Lillian; Best, Virginia; Dillon, Harvey; Cameron, Sharon; Hickson, Louise (Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2015)This study investigated to what extent spatial release from masking (SRM) deficits in hearingimpaired adults may be related to reduced audibility of the test stimuli. Sixteen adults with sensorineural hearing loss and ... -
The effects of adding realism to a conventional speech-in-noise test
Best, Virginia; Keidser, Gitte; Buchholz, Jorg; Freeston, Katrina (2014)The speech reception threshold (SRT) is routinely used in research and in the clinic to assess people’s ability to understand speech in noise. The overall goal of this work was to determine whether introducing realistic ... -
Eliciting natural conversational Lombard speech in realistic acoustic environments
Beechey, Timothy; Buchholz, Jorg; Keidser, Gitte (2016)▶ Speech intelligibility tests, which are commonly used in the audiology clinic and in research, do not reflect what people experience outside the clinic. ▶ Speech intelligibility tests may be poor predictors of communication ... -
Evaluation of the NAL dynamic conversations test in older listeners with hearing loss
Best, Virginia; Keidser, Gitte; Freeston, Katrina; Buchholz, Jorg (International Journal of Audiology, 2017)The National Acoustic Laboratories Dynamic Conversations Test (NAL-DCT) is a new test of speech comprehension that incorporates a realistic environment and dynamic speech materials that capture certain features of everyday ... -
An examination of speech reception thresholds measured in a simulated reverberant cafeteria environment
Best, Virginia; Keidser, Gitte; Freeston, Katrina; Buchholz, Jorg (International Journal of Audiology, 2014)There is increasing demand in the hearing research community for the creation of laboratory environments that better simulate challenging real-world listeneing envrionments. -
An examination of speech reception thresholds measured in a simulated reverberant cafeteria environment
Best, Virginia; Keidser, Gitte; Buchholz, Jorg; Freeston, Katrina (2015)Objective: There is increasing demand in the hearing research community for the creation of laboratory environments that better simulate challenging real-world listening environments. The hope is that the use of such ... -
Introducing the NAL Dynamic Conversations Test: Development and Validation
Keidser, Gitte; Best, Virginia; Freeston, Katrina; Buchholz, Jorg (2016) -
Measuring communication difficulty through effortful speech
Beechey, Tim; Buchholz, Jorg; Keidser, Gitte (2018)This study describes the use of a novel conversation elicitation framework to collect fluent, dynamic conversational speech in simulated realistic acoustic environments of varying complexities. Our aim is to quantify ... -
Measuring communication effort in speech variability
Beechey, Tim; Buchholz, Jorg; Keidser, Gitte (. Fourth International Conference on Cognitive Hearing Science for Communication (CHSCOM). Linköping, Sweden, 2017)Interactive conversation is one of the most important activities that is affected by hearing impairment. • Measures of effort are important, in terms of both listening and communication, in understanding hearing ... -
The Relative Importance of ITDs & ILDs to Spatial Auditory Processing: Understanding spatial processing deficits in hearing-impaired people
Glyde, Helen; Buchholz, Jorg; Dillon, Harvey; Hickson, L; Cameron, Sharon; Best, Virginia (2012) -
Towards more cognitively challenging speech tests
Best, Virginia; Keidser, Gitte; Buchholz, Jorg; Freeston, Katrina (2013)Speech tests are often poor predictors of the performance of individual listeners in the real world. This may be in part because they do not adequately engage all of the auditory and cognitive processes involved in real ...
