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 ... -

On the relationship between functional hearing and depression
(International Journal of Audiology, 2015-06)Objective: To establish the effect of self-rated and measured functional hearing on depression, taking age and gender into account. Additionally, the study investigates if hearing aid usage mitigates the effect, and if ... -
An opinion on the assessment of people who may have an auditory processing disorder
(2012)Abstract We need to rethink how we assess auditory processing disorder (APD). The current use of test batteries, while necessary and well-accepted, is at risk of failing as the size of these batteries increases. To counter ... -
