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 ... -
The perception by normal hearing persons of intensity fluctuations in narrow bank stimuli and its implications for sound field calibration procedures
(Australian Journal of Audiology, 1980) -
Performance of personal active noise reduction devices
(2012)This paper presents the results of objective tests performed on 13 personal active noise reduction devices (earmuffs, headphones, headsets and insert earphones) divided into four groups based mainly on structure, using an ... -
Phonological awareness and early reading skills in children with cochlear implants
(Cochlear Implants International, 2014)This paper summarises findings from a population study on outcomes of children with hearing loss in Australia, the Longitudinal Outcomes of Children with Hearing Impairment (LOCHI, www.outcomes.nal.gov.au) study. Children ... -
PLUM and HATS: Helping to detect children with hearing loss from otitis media
(Audiology Now 80, 2020)Children are born ready to learn. How their brain develops is strongly affected by their early experiences with other people and the world around them. There is good evidence on the importance of the first thousand days ... -
Poorer speech reception threshold in noise is associated with lower brain volume in auditory and cognitive processing regions
(Journal of Speech Language and Hearing Research, 2018) -
Predictors of Early Reading Skill in 5-Year-Old Children With Hearing Loss Who Use Spoken Language
(2013)This research investigated the concurrent association between early reading skills and phonological awareness ( PA ), print knowledge, language, cognitive, and demographic variables in 101 five-year-old children with ... -
Preliminary observations on outcomes with a self-fitted hearing aid
(2016)The President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST) report1 that was submitted to the US Government last October has sparked much debate about the future provision of hearing health care in the US2-7. The ... -
Prescribing Amplification for Children: Adult-Equivalent Hearing Loss, Real-Ear Aided Gain, and NAL-NL1
(Sage Publications, 2003-03)This paper focuses on how the acoustical differences between the ear canals of adults and children affect amplification requirements and describes efficient strategies to allow for these differences when prescribing and ... -
Prevalence and Remediation of Spatial Processing Disorder (SPD) in Indigenous Children in Regional Australia
(International Journal of Audiology, 2014)This study aimed to determine the prevalence of spatial processing disorder (SPD) in the Indigenous Australian population and the benefit of and logistical issues arising from remediation of the disorder. Design: ... -
Programming characteristics of cochlear implants in children: effects of etiology and age at implantation
(2017)Objective: We investigated effects of etiology and age at implantation on changes in threshold (T) levels, comfortable (C) levels and dynamic range (DR) for cochlear implants (CIs) in children over the first five years of ... -
Proof of concept of a single-channel EEG measure of engagement in virtual rehabilitation
(Clinical EEG & Neuroscience, 2020)Stroke rehabilitation suffers from low levels of patient engagement, impeding recovery. 2 Virtual rehabilitation (VR) approaches can improve outcomes, however there is limited 3 understanding of the participant’s user ... -
Providing earplugs to young adults at risk encourages protective behaviour in music venues
(Sage Publications, 2014-09)For some young people, nightclubs and other music venues are a major source of noise exposure arising from a combination of very high noise levels; relatively long attendance duration; and frequent, sustained participation ... -
Provision, perception and use of trainable hearing aids in Australia: a survey of clinicians and hearing impaired adults
(International Journal of Audiology, 2016)Objective. This study set out to obtain information on the impact of trainable hearing aids among clinicians and hearing aid users and candidates. Design. Two online adaptive surveys were developed to evaluate provision, ... -
Pure tone hearing thresholds and leisure noise: is there a relationship
