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 ... -
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 ... -

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 ... -
Noise exposure in the balance: Managing occupational and leisure risks to hearing health
(Journal of Health Safety and Environment, 2014)Health and safety risks that are present in both occupational and home/leisure environments can pose difficulties for health and safety professionals when determining risk mitigation responsibilities. Where work is defined ... -
Noise levels in fitness classes are still too high: Evidence from 1997-98 and 2009-11
(2013)Fitness instructors routinely use high music volumes which may be harmful to hearing. This study assessed noise levels during 35 low-intensity and 65 high-intensity fitness classes in 1997-98 and 2009-11. Questionnaires ... -
Noise with attitude: Influences on young people’s decisions to protect their hearing
(2013)Objective: To investigate young people’s experiences and attitudes towards hearing health and their participation in noise reduction behaviours, to better understand how education and prevention messages may be better ...
