"Bigger is better: Increasing cortical auditory response amplitude via stimulus spectral complexity"
(Ear & Hearing, 2015)
Objective: To determine the influence of auditory stimuli spectral characteristics on cortical 30 auditory evoked potentials (CAEPs). 31
Design: CAEPs were obtained from 15 normal-hearing adults in response to six multi-tone ...
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 ...
Clinical experience of using cortical auditory evoked potentials (CAEPs) in the treatment of infant hearing loss in Australia
(Seminars in Hearing, 2015)
This paper presents the clinical protocol that is currently being used within Australian Hearing for infant hearing aid evaluation using cortical auditory evoked potentials (CAEPs). CAEP testing is carried out in the free ...
Cognitive Spare Capacity: Evaluation data and its association with comprehension of dynamic conversations
(Frontiers in Psychology, 2015)
It is well established that communication involves the working memory system, which becomes increasingly engaged in understanding speech as the input signal degrades. The more resources allocated to recovering a degraded ...
Effect of audibility on spatial release from speech-on-speech masking
(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 ...
Investigating the interaction between dichotic deficits and cognitive abilities using the Dichotic Digits difference Test (DDdT)
(2015-08)
Background: The Dichotic Digits difference Test (DDdT) was developed in order to
investigate the relationship between dichotic processing and cognitive abilities and, through
the use of differential test scores, to provide ...
Intelligibility of Speech Produced by Children with hearing loss
(Communication Disorders, Deaf Studies & Hearing Aids, 2015)
This study aimed to 1) investigate the influence of nonlinear frequency
compression (NLFC) in hearing aids on intelligibility of speech produced by children
with hearing loss; and 2) examine whether clinicians’ or parents’ ...
