The Longitudinal Outcomes of Children with Hearing Impairment (LOCHI) study, being carried out through the National Acoutic Lacoratories (NAL) and Hearing Cooperative Research Centre (CRC), has been running since 2007.
Factors influencing individual variation in perceptual directional microphone benefit
(Journal of the American Academy of Audiology, 2013-02)
Background: Large variations in perceptual directional microphone benefit, which far exceed the variation expected from physical performance measures of directional microphones, have been reported in the literature. The ...
A snapshot of young adults’ noise exposure reveals evidence of ‘Binge Listening’
(2013)
There have been several previous studies into daily noise exposure levels in modern urban communities, which typically report mean noise exposure levels (LAeq) for adults between 73 and 79 dB. In this study, rather than ...
Detection of alertness states using electoencephalogram and cortical auditory evoked potential responses
(2013-11)
in this paper, we focus on identifying the alertness state of subjects undergoing the cortical auditory evoked potential (CAEP) hearing test. A supervised classification approach is adopted, where subjects were advised to ...
Noise with attitude: Influences on young people’s decisions to protect their hearing
(2013)
Objective: To investigate young people’s experiences and attitudes towards hearing health and their participation in noise reduction behaviours, to better understand how education and prevention messages may be better ...
Hearing-aid assembly management among adults from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds: Toward the feasibility of self-fi tting hearing aids
(Informa Healthcare, 2013)
Objective: The purpose of the study was twofold: (1) to assess the ability of hearing-impaired adults in the developing world to independently and accurately assemble a pair of hearing

The NOISE (Non-Occupational Incidents Situations and Events) Database: A new research tool
(2013)
This paper describes the development of the NOISE (Non-Occupational Incidents Situations and Events) Database. The NOISE database currently contains 536 separate leisure activities and events, including noise level ...
Towards more cognitively challenging speech tests
(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 ...
Impact of the presence of auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder (ANSD) on outcomes of children at three years of age
(2013)
Objective—To determine the influence of the presence of auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder
(ANSD) on speech, language, and psycho-social development of children at three years of age.
