The influence of social interaction and physical health on the association between hearing and depression with age and gender
(Trends in Hearing, 2016)Recent epidemiological data suggest the relation between hearing difficulty and depression is more evident in younger and middle-aged populations than in older adults. There are also suggestions that the relation may be ... -
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’ ... -
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 ... -
Language and speech perception of young children with bimodal fitting or bilateral cochlear implants
(Cochlear Implants International, 2014-05-01)This paper compares language development and speech perception of children with bimodal fitting ( a cochlear implant in one ear and a hearing aid in the opposite ear) or bilateral cochlear implantation -
Latency-dependent filtering and compact representation of the complete auditory pathway response
(Journal of the Acoustic Society of America, 2020)Auditory evoked potentials (AEPs) include the auditory brainstem response (ABR), middle latency response (MLR) and cortical auditory evoked potentials (CAEPs), each one covering a speci c latency range and frequency ... -
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 ... -
Least-squares (LS) deconvolution of a series of overlapping cortical auditory evoked potentials: a simulation and experimental study
(Journal of Neural Engineering, 2014-08)Objective: To evaluate the viability of disentangling a series of overlapping “cortical auditory evoked potentials” (CAEPs) elicited by different stimuli using least-squares (LS) deconvolution, and to assess the adaptation ... -
Leisure noise exposure: Participation trends, symptoms of hearing damage, and perception of risk
(2014)Leisure activities that emit high noise levels have the potential to expose participants to excessive noise exposure, which can result in hearing damage. This study investigated young people’s participation in high-noise ... -
The leisure-noise dilemma: hearing loss or hearsay? What does the literature tell us?
(2014)The authors undertook a review of the literature, focusing on publications describing the following: 1) Pure tone threshold data for adolescents/young adults; 2) Measurements/estimates of noise exposure from leisure ... -
Listening in Spatialized Noise- Sentences Test (LiSN-S): Normative and retest reliability data for adolescents and adults up to 60 years of age
(Journal of the American Academy of Audiology, 2011) -
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 ... -
Measuring communication difficulty through effortful speech
(2018)This study describes the use of a novel conversation elicitation framework to collect fluent, dynamic conversational speech in simulated realistic acoustic environments of varying complexities. Our aim is to quantify ... -
The mechanical properties of earmuffs
(2011)The physical properties of circum-aural hearing protectors, such as mass, clamping force and cup volume, have an influence on the attenuation performance of the device. This paper closely examines the physical and acoustic ... -
Medical practitioners’ attitudes to hearing rehabilitation for older adults
(2011)Objective: Medical practitioners have the potential to play a significant role in older adults’ help seeking behaviour in relation to hearing rehabilitation. The current study aimed to look at attitudinal factors that ... -
Music to whose ears? The effect of social norms on young people’s risk perceptions of hearing damage resulting from their music listening behaviour
(2012)Professional and community concerns about the potentially dangerous noise levels for common leisure activities has led to increased interest on providing hearing health information to participants. However, noise reduction ...
