Developing the Auditory Processing Domains Questionnaire (APDQ): A differential screening tool for auditory processing disorder
(2018)Objective: The aim of this study was to develop a screening questionnaire for auditory processing disorder. Design: Fifty-two questions were created to enable parent/teacher proxies to rate students’ listening skills in ... -
Development and preliminary evaluation of a new test of ongoing speech comprehension
(2015)Objective: The overall goal of this work is to create new speech perception tests that more closely resemble real world communication and offer an alternative or complement to the commonly used sentence recall test. Design: ... -
The development of an mHealth educational intervention for first-time hearing aid users: combining theoretical and ecologically valid approaches.
(National Acoustics Laboratories, 2019)ACT Objective. This paper describes the development of a novel mobile health (mHealth) educational intervention designed for first-time hearing aid users based on previously developed educational multimedia videos, or ... -
The development of an mHealth educational intervention for first-time hearing aid users: combining theoretical and ecologically valid approaches.
(2020)This paper describes the development of a novel mobile health (mHealth) educational intervention designed for first-time hearing aid users. We have previously developed and evaluated a series of educational multimedia ... -
Development of Frontal EEG Differences Between Eyes-Closed and Eyes-Open Resting Conditions in Children: Data From a Single-Channel Dry-Sensor Portable Device
(Clinical EEG & Neuroscience, 2020)Changes in EEG when moving from an eyes-closed to an eyes-open resting condition result from bottom-up sensory processing and have been referred to as activation. In children, activation is characterised by a global reduction ... -
Development of Telscreen: a telephone-based speech-in-noise hearing screening test with a novel masking noise and scoring procedure
(International Journal of Audiology, 2016)Objective: In 2006 the National Acoustic Laboratories was commissioned to create a telephone-based hearing screening test. Design: NAL developed ‘Telscreen’, a speech-in-noise test modelled on the Dutch and UK telephone ... -
The Development of the Listening in Spatialized Noise – Universal Test (LiSN-U) and Preliminary Evaluation in English-Speaking Listeners
(International Journal of Audiology, 2020) -
The Dichotic Digits difference Test (DDdT): Development, Normative Data and Retest Reliability Studies
(2015-08)Background: The dichotic digits test is one of the most widely used assessment tools for central auditory processing disorder (CAPD). However, questions remain concerning the impact of cognitive factors on test ... -
The Dichotic Digits difference Test (DDdT): Development, Normative Data and Test-Retest Reliability Studies
(2014)Background: The dichotic digits test is one of the most widely used assessment tools for central auditory processing disorder (CAPD). However, questions remain concerning the impact of cognitive factors on test results. Purpose: ... -
Difficulties understanding speech in noise with a normal or near-normal audiogram
(Hearing Matters, 2019)Approximately 5 to 15% of people who visit a hearing clinic report difficulty understanding speech in noise, but have a 'normal' audiogram, that is, have no difficulty hearing soft tones in a quiet environment.Traditional ... -
Discovering the unmet needs of people with difficulties understanding speech in noise 1 and a normal or near-normal audiogram
(AJA, 2020)Purpose: A proportion of people with a normal audiogram or mild hearing loss (NA-MHL) 24 experience greater than expected difficulty hearing speech in noise. This preliminary 25 exploratory study employed a design thinking ... -
Does probe-tube verification of real-ear hearing aid amplification 1 characteristics improve outcomes in adult hearing aid users? A protocol for 2 a systematic review
(International Journal of Audiology, 2020)Using a probe-tube microphone to measure and adjust the real-ear 2 performance of the hearing aid to match the prescription target is recommended and widely 3 used in clinical practice. Hearing aid fitting software can ... -
Does the current Outreach program meet hearing-service needs in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander populations?
(National Acoustics Laboratories, 2018)Key findings Of the 77,162 estimated to have a hearing loss, 10,669 (13.8%) received hearing services through the funded program administered by Australian Hearing in 2017-18. Eligibility criteria for Australian Hearing ... -
Effect of audibility on spatial release from speech-on-speech masking
(Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2015)This study investigated to what extent spatial release from masking (SRM) deficits in hearingimpaired adults may be related to reduced audibility of the test stimuli. Sixteen adults with sensorineural hearing loss and ... -
The effect of cross-over frequency on binaural hearing performance of adults using electric acoustic stimularions
(. Applied Health Economics and Health Policy., 2018)Objective: To investigate the effect of varying cross-over frequency (CF) settings for electric-acoustic (EA) stimulation in one ear combined with acoustic (A) hearing in the opposite ear on binaural speech perception, ... -
The effect of frequency compression on front-back localization and speech recognition in noise
(Hearing Journal, 2010) -
The effect of functional hearing and hearing aid usage on verbal reasoning in a large community-dwelling population
(Ear & Hearing, 2015)Objectives: Verbal reasoning performance is an indicator of the ability to think constructively in everyday life, and relies on both crystallized and fluid intelligence. This study aimed to determine the effect of functional ... -
The Effect of Functional Hearing Loss and Age on Long- and Short-term Visuospatial 1 Memory: Evidence from the UK Biobank Resource
(2014)The UK Biobank offers cross-sectional epidemiological data collected on >500,000 individuals in the UK between 40 and 70 years of age. Using the UK Biobank data, the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of ... -
The effect of hearing loss on source-distance dependent speech intelligibility in rooms
(JASA Express Letters, 2017)Westermann and Buchholz [(2015). J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 137(2), 757–767] found substantial improvements in speech reception thresholds (SRTs) for normal hearing listeners in a reverberant auditorium when the target talker ...
