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, ... -

A Questionnaire-Based Algorithm for Assessing Occupational Noise Exposure of Construction Workers
(Occupational and Environmental Medicine, 2017)Abstract Objectives Occupational noise exposure is a major cause of hearing loss worldwide. In order to inform preventative strategies, we need to further understand at a population level which workers are most at ... -
A randomized controlled comparison of NAL and DSL prescriptions for young children: Hearing-aid characteristics and performance outcomes at three years of age
(2013)Objective—To determine the influence of choice of prescription and other child-, family- and intervention-related factors on speech, language, and functional performance of hearing-impaired children by three years of ... -
Real-life efficacy and reliability of training a hearing aid
(2013)We investigated if training of hearing aids result in effective and reliable outcomes. Hearing-2 impaired adults trained the compression characteristic from the NAL-NL2 prescription for 3 three weeks and compared their ...
