CAEPs in (un)aided normal-hearing and hearing-impaired adults
(Seminars in Hearing, 2015)
Introduction Cortical auditory evoked potentials (CAEPs) are influenced by the characteristics of the stimulus, including level and hearing aid gain. Previous studies have measured CAEPs aided and unaided in individuals ...
Results from a national central auditory processing disorder service: a "real world" assessment of diagnostic practices and remediation for CAPD
(2015-08)
This article describes the development and evaluation of a national service to diagnose and remediate central auditory processing disorder (CAPD). Data was gathered from 38 participating Australian Hearing centres over an ...
Evaluation of headphone effects on performance in the LiSN & Learn auditory training software
(ANU Undergraduate Research Journal, 2015)
Spatial processing is the ability to use binaural cues to separate and group sounds that are important for everyday listening. Spatial processing disorder (SPD) is the reduced abilty to utilise binaural cues to segregate sounds.
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 ...
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 ...
An evaluation of the performance of two binaural beamformers in complex and dynamic multitalker environments
(International Journal of Audiology, 2015)
Objective: Binaural beamformers are super-directional hearing aids created by combining microphone outputs from each side of the head.
While they offer substantial improvements in SNR over conventional directional hearing ...
"Bigger is better: Increasing cortical auditory response amplitude via stimulus spectral complexity"
(Ear & Hearing, 2015)
Objective: To determine the influence of auditory stimuli spectral characteristics on cortical 30 auditory evoked potentials (CAEPs). 31
Design: CAEPs were obtained from 15 normal-hearing adults in response to six multi-tone ...
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 ...
Clinical experience of using cortical auditory evoked potentials (CAEPs) in the treatment of infant hearing loss in Australia
(Seminars in Hearing, 2015)
This paper presents the clinical protocol that is currently being used within Australian Hearing for infant hearing aid evaluation using cortical auditory evoked potentials (CAEPs). CAEP testing is carried out in the free ...
