Allowing for Asymmetric Distributions When Comparing Auditory Processing Test Percentage Scores with Normative Data
(Journal of the American Academy of Audiology, 2014)
Background: Raw percentage scores can be transformed to age-specific Z scores, despite the asymmetric
distribution of normative data using a process that is applicable to any percentage (or proportion)-
based result.
Purpose: ...
Real-life efficacy and reliability of training a hearing aid
(2013)
We investigated if training of hearing aids result in effective and reliable outcomes. Hearing-2 impaired adults trained the compression characteristic from the NAL-NL2 prescription for 3 three weeks and compared their ...
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 ...
Cortical auditory evoked potentials (CAEPs) reveal changes in audibility with nonlinear frequency compression in hearing aids for children: clinical implications
(Seminars in Hearing, Oct 2015)
Children with hearing loss are detected soon after birth via newborn hearing screening. Procedures for early hearing assessment and hearing aid fitting are well-established, but methods for evaluating the effectiveness of ...
Client-Based Adjustments of Hearing Aid Gain: The Effect of Different Control Configurations
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins •, 2008)
Objectives: Facilitating the fine-tuning of advanced
hearing aids requires information about the acoustic
environment. The concept of a “trainable” hearing
aid may provide a more direct approach to
hearing aid fine-tuning ...
