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 ... -
Objective cortical evaluation of infants wearing hearing aids
(American Academy of Audiology, 2014-07) -
Objective measurement of speech audibility - value to the client and clinic
(Audiology Australia, 2013-04)The Longitudinal Outcomes of Children with Hearing Impairment (LOCHI) study, being carried out through the National Acoutic Lacoratories (NAL) and Hearing Cooperative Research Centre (CRC), has been running since 2007. -
Obligatory CAEP testing in infants – a five year review
(National Acoustics Laboratories, 2005)In the year 2000, NAL and the Cooperative Research Centre (CRC) for Cochlear Implants and Hearing Innovation, commenced a series of studies using Cortical Auditory Evoked Potential (CAEP) testing. The overall aim of these ... -
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 ... -
An optimum value for detection probability

Outcomes of 3-Year-Old Children With Hearing Loss and Different Types of Additional Disabilities
(2013)This research investigated the speech, language, and functional auditory outcomes of 119 3-year-old children with hearing loss and additional disabilities. Outcomes were evaluated using direct assessment and caregiver ... -
Outcomes of Early- and Late-identified Children at 3 Years of Age: Findings from a Prospective Population-based Study
(2013)Objectives—To address the question of whether, on a population level, early detection and amplification improve outcomes of children with hearing impairment. Design—All families of children who were born between 2002 and ... -

(International Journal of Audiology, 2020)Objective: This study was to establish Chinese norms of Parent’s Evaluation of Aural/Oral of Children (PEACH) rating scale, and to investigate the test-retest reliability and validity for this adapted version. Design: ... -
The Parents’ Perspective of the Early Diagnostic Period of their Child with Hearing Loss: Information and Support
(International Journal of Audiology, 2017)Objective: This study aimed to explore the perspectives of caregivers regarding the information and support they received following diagnosis of their child’s hearing loss. Design: A mixed methods explanatory sequential ... -
The Parsing Syllable Envelopes (ParSE) test for assessment of amplitude modulation discrimination skills in children: Development, normative data and test-retest reliability studies
(JAAA, 2017)Background: Intensity peaks and valleys in the acoustic signal are salient cues to syllable structure, which is accepted to be a crucial early step in phonological processing. As such, the ability to detect low-rate ... -
