Evaluation of the NAL dynamic conversations test in older listeners with hearing loss
(International Journal of Audiology, 2017)
The National Acoustic Laboratories Dynamic Conversations Test (NAL-DCT) is a new test of speech comprehension that
incorporates a realistic environment and dynamic speech materials that capture certain features of everyday ...
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 ...
An automatic algorithm for blink-artifact suppression based on iterative template matching: Application to single channel recording of cortical auditory evoked potentials
(Journal of Neural Engineering, 2018)
Artifact reduction in electroencephalogram (EEG) signals is usually
necessary to carry out data analysis appropriately. Despite the large amount of
denoising techniques available with a multichannel setup, there is a ...
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 ...
Measuring communication difficulty through effortful speech
(2018)
This study describes the use of a novel conversation elicitation framework to collect fluent,
dynamic conversational speech in simulated realistic acoustic environments of varying
complexities. Our aim is to quantify ...
Effects of lifetime noise exposure on the middle-age human auditory brainstem response, tinnitus and speech-in-noise intelligibility
(2018)
Recent animal studies have shown that the synapses between inner hair cells and the dendrites
of the spiral ganglion cells they innervate are the elements in the cochlea most vulnerable to
excessive noise exposure. ...
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 ...
Factors Influencing Caregiver Decision Making to Change the Communication Method of their Child with Hearing Loss
(2018)
The communication journey of a child with hearing loss is often a complex, interwoven process in which the child’s use of language or method of communication may change numerous times. As there has been limited research ...
