Objective measurement of speech audibility - value to the client and clinic
(Audiology Australia, 2013-04)
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 ...
Aided cortical response, speech intelligibility, consonant perception and functional performance of young children using conventional amplification or nonlinear frequency compression
(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 ...
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 ...
Evaluation of headphone effects on performance in LiSN & Learn auditory training software
(National Acoustic Laboratories, 2014)
Spatial processing is the ability to use binaural cues to separate and group sounds that are important for everyday listening. Spatial processing disorder (SPD) is the reduced ability to utilize binaural cues to segregate ...
Comments on “Factors influencing tests of auditory processing: A perspective on current issues and relevant concerns” by Tony Cacace and Dennis McFarland.
(2014)
Auditory processing is defined as a modality-specific activity, and hence an auditory processing disorder cannot be diagnosed unless it can be shown that any deficit in performance is limited to, or at least predominantly ...
Cortical auditory evoked potentials (CAEPs) in adults in response to filtered speech stimuli
(Journal of the American Academy of Audiology, 2010)
Previous studies have demonstrated the CAEPs can be reliably elicited in response to speech stimuli in listeners wearing hearing aids. It is unclear, however, how close to the aided behavioral threshold (ie. at what ...
Analysis of alertness status of subjects undergoing the cortical auditory evoked potential hearing test
(Springr-Verlag, 2012)
In this paper, we analyze the EEG rhythms of subjects undergoing the cortical auditory evoked potential (CAEP) hearing test. Investigation of the importance of the different EEG rhythms in terms of their capability in ...
Attend to This: The Relationship between Auditory Processing Disorders and Attention Deficits
(2014)
Background: Children clinically diagnosed with auditory processing disorders (APDs) are often
described as easily distracted and inattentive, leading some researchers to propose that APDs might
be a consequence of ...
Providing earplugs to young adults at risk encourages protective behaviour in music venues
(Sage Publications, 2014-09)
For some young people, nightclubs and other music venues are a major source of noise exposure arising from a combination of very high noise levels; relatively long attendance duration; and frequent, sustained participation ...
