Evaluation of headphone effects on performance in the LiSN & Learn auditory training software
(ANU Undergraduate Research Journal, 2015)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 abilty to utilise binaural cues to segregate sounds. -
Evaluation of the NAL dynamic conversations test in older listeners with hearing loss
(International Journal of Audiology, 2017)The National Acoustic Laboratories Dynamic Conversations Test (NAL-DCT) is a new test of speech comprehension that incorporates a realistic environment and dynamic speech materials that capture certain features of everyday ... -
An evaluation of the performance of two binaural beamformers in complex and dynamic multitalker environments
(International Journal of Audiology, 2015)Objective: Binaural beamformers are super-directional hearing aids created by combining microphone outputs from each side of the head. While they offer substantial improvements in SNR over conventional directional hearing ... -
Evaluation of the self-fitting process with a commercially available hearing aid
(Journal of the American Academy of Audiology, 2016)Background: Hearing aids and personal sound amplification products (PSAPs) that are designed to be self-fitted by the user at home are becoming increasingly available in the online marketplace. While these devices are often ... -
Evidence-Based Practice and Emerging New Technologies

An examination of speech reception thresholds measured in a simulated reverberant cafeteria environment
(International Journal of Audiology, 2014)There is increasing demand in the hearing research community for the creation of laboratory environments that better simulate challenging real-world listeneing envrionments. -
An examination of speech reception thresholds measured in a simulated reverberant cafeteria environment
(2015)Objective: There is increasing demand in the hearing research community for the creation of laboratory environments that better simulate challenging real-world listening environments. The hope is that the use of such ... -
Factors associated with successful setup of a self-fitting hearing aid and the need for personalized support
(2017)Objectives: Self-fitting hearing aids have the potential to increase the accessibility of hearing 3 health care. The aims of this study were to: (1) identify factors that are associated with the 4 ability to successfully ... -
Factors Influencing Caregiver Decision Making to Change the Communication Method of their Child with Hearing Loss
(2018)The communication journey of a child with hearing loss is often a complex, interwoven process in which the child’s use of language or method of communication may change numerous times. As there has been limited research ... -
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 ... -
Factors influencing speech perception in noise for 5-yearold children using hearing aids or cochlear implants
(International Journal of Audiology, 2017)Objective: We investigated the factors influencing speech perception in babble for 5-year-old children with hearing loss who were using hearing aids (HAs) or cochlear implants (CIs). Design: Speech reception thresholds ... -
Farmers’ work-day noise exposure
(Australian Journal of Rural Health, 2015)Objective: This study aims to understand the extent of farmers’ exposure to hazardous noise, and trial and test the ability of an on-farm noise audit report to improve awareness and preventative action towards farm ... -
The frequency-following response as an assessment of spatial processing
(International Journal of Audiology, 2019)It is important to detect children with difficulties distinguishing speech-in-noise early. Prompt identification may be assisted by an evoked potential. The aims of the present study were: 1) to evaluate the frequency-following ... -
Gain mismatch and horizontal localization performance
(Hearing Journal, 2011) -
Hearing Aid fitting and developmental outcomes of children fit according to either the NAL or DSL prescription : fit-to-target, audibility, speech and language abilities
(International Journal of Audiology, 2017)Objective: This study compared hearing aid (HA) fitting outcomes and developmental outcomes of children with hearing loss at 5 years of age. Design and study sample: HA settings of 232 children that were fit according ... -
Hearing aid safety: a comparison of estimated threshold shifts for gains recommended by NAL-NL2 and DSLm[i/o] prescriptions for children
(2013)Objective—To investigate the predicted threshold shift associated with the use of nonlinear hearing-aids set according to the NAL-NL2 or the DSL m[i/o] prescription for children. For medium and high input levels, we ...
