NAL-NL2 empirical adjustments
(Trends Amplification, 2012)
NAL-NL1, the first procedure from the National Acoustic Laboratories (NAL) for prescribing non-linear gain, was a purely theoretically-derived formula aimed at maximizing speech intelligibility for any input level of speech ...
Identification of Conductive Hearing Loss Using Air Conduction Tests Alone: Reliability and Validity of an Automatic Test Battery
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins., 2014-01)
The primary objective of this study was to determine whether
a combination of automatically administered pure-tone audiometry and
a tone-in-noise detection task, both delivered via an air conduction (AC)
pathway, could ...
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 ...
The effects of adding realism to a conventional speech-in-noise test
(2014)
The speech reception threshold (SRT) is routinely used in
research and in the clinic to assess people’s ability to
understand speech in noise. The overall goal of this work was
to determine whether introducing realistic ...
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 ...
Technical specification FM-2b
(National Acoustic Laboratories, 1979-11)
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.
Deconvolution of overlapping cortical auditory evoked potentials recorded using short stimulus onset-asynchrony ranges
(Clinical Neurosphysiology, 2014)
The first aim of this study is to validate the theoretical framework of Least-Squares (LS) deconvolution on experimental data. The second is to investigate the waveform morphology of the cortical auditory evoked potential ...
Etiology and Audiological Outcomes at 3 Years for 364 Children in Australia
(U.S. National Institute of Health PubMed Central, 2013-03-28)
Hearing loss is an etiologically heterogeneous trait with differences in the age of onset, severity and site of lesion. It is caused by a combination of genetic and/or environmental factors. A longitudinal study to examine ...
