Chang, Vicky; Ching, Teresa; Van Buynder, Patricia; ; ; Hou, Sanna; Flynn, Christopher; Burns, Lauren; Burns, Lauren; McGhie, Karen; Wong, Angela (Elsevier, 2014)ABSTRACT Objective: The aim of this study was to compare conventional processing with nonlinear frequency compression (NLFC) in hearing aids for young children with bilateral hearing loss. Methods: Sixty-four children ... -
A comparison of NAL and DSL prescriptive methods for paediatric hearing-aid fitting: Predicted speech intelligibility and loudness
Johnson, Earl E.; Hou, Sanna; ; Dillon, Harvey; Zhang, Vicky; ; Burns, Lauren; Van Buynder, Patricia; Wong, Angela; Flynn, Christopher (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 ... -
Factors influencing speech perception in noise for 5-yearold children using hearing aids or cochlear implants
Ching, Teresa; Zhang, Vicky; Flynn, Christopher; Burns, Lauren; Button, Laura; Hou, Sanna; McGhie, Karen; Van Buynder, Patricia (International Journal of Audiology, 2017)Objective: We investigated the factors influencing speech perception in babble for 5-year-old children with hearing loss who were using hearing aids (HAs) or cochlear implants (CIs). Design: Speech reception thresholds ... -
Hearing Aid fitting and developmental outcomes of children fit according to either the NAL or DSL prescription : fit-to-target, audibility, speech and language abilities
Ching, Teresa; Zhang, Vicky; Johnson, Earl; Van Buynder, Patricia; Hou, Sanna; Burns, Lauren; Button, Laura; Flynn, Christopher; McGhie, Karen (International Journal of Audiology, 2017)Objective: This study compared hearing aid (HA) fitting outcomes and developmental outcomes of children with hearing loss at 5 years of age. Design and study sample: HA settings of 232 children that were fit according ... -
Language and speech perception of young children with bimodal fitting or bilateral cochlear implants
Ching, Teresa; Day, Julia; Van Buynder, Patricia; Hou, Sanna; Zhang, Vicky; Seeto, Mark; Burns, Lauren; Flynn, Christopher (Cochlear Implants International, 2014-05-01)This paper compares language development and speech perception of children with bimodal fitting ( a cochlear implant in one ear and a hearing aid in the opposite ear) or bilateral cochlear implantation -
