The relationship between functional hearing and verbal reasoning
(Swedish Institute for Disability Research, 2015)
Verbal reasoning is an indicator of the ability to think constructively in everyday life, and relies on both fluid (working memory processing) and crystallised (knowledge-based judgement) skills. Recent data (Rönnberg et ...
The effect of functional hearing and hearing aid usage on verbal reasoning in a large community-dwelling population
(Ear & Hearing, 2015)
Objectives: Verbal reasoning performance is an indicator of the ability to think constructively in everyday life, and relies on both crystallized and fluid intelligence. This study aimed to determine the effect of functional ...
Outcomes of 3-Year-Old Children With Hearing Loss and Different Types of Additional Disabilities

Evaluation of the self-fitting process with a commercially available hearing aid
(Journal of the American Academy of Audiology, 2016)
Background: Hearing aids and personal sound amplification products (PSAPs) that are designed to be self-fitted by the user at home are becoming increasingly available in the online marketplace. While these devices are often ...
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 ...
