The effects of noise exposure and musical training on suprathreshold auditory processing
(Hearing Research, 2017-08)
Recent animal research has shown that exposure to single episodes of intense noise causes cochlear synaptopathy without affecting hearing thresholds. It has been suggested that the same may occur in humans. If so, it is ...
Outcomes of Early- and Late-identified Children at 3 Years of Age: Findings from a Prospective Population-based Study
(2013)
Objectives—To address the question of whether, on a population level, early detection and
amplification improve outcomes of children with hearing impairment.
Design—All families of children who were born between 2002 and ...
A randomized controlled comparison of NAL and DSL prescriptions for young children: Hearing-aid characteristics and performance outcomes at three years of age
(2013)
Objective—To determine the influence of choice of prescription and other child-, family- and
intervention-related factors on speech, language, and functional performance of hearing-impaired
children by three years of ...
Major findings of the LOCHI study on children at 3 years of age and implications for audiological management
(2013)
The Longitudinal Outcomes of Children with Hearing Impairment (LOCHI) study addresses the evidence gap regarding the efficacy of universal newborn hearing screening (UNHS) for improving outcomes through a prospective ...
Learning from the longitudinal outcomes of children with hearing impairment(LOCHI) study: summary of 5-year findings and implications
(2017)
This article summarises findings of the Longitudinal Outcomes of Children with Hearing Impairment (LOCHI) study, and discusses implications of the findings for research and clinical practice.
Design: A population-based ...
Delving into ‘hidden hearing loss’: Results from a large-scale behavioural investigation
(2016)
Some adults report problems understanding speech in background noise yet their audiograms are clinically normal. Animal studies suggest this may result from noise-induced damage to synaptic connections between auditory ...
