Hearing-aid assembly management among adults from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds: Toward the feasibility of self-fi tting hearing aids
(Informa Healthcare, 2013)
Objective: The purpose of the study was twofold: (1) to assess the ability of hearing-impaired adults in the developing world to independently and accurately assemble a pair of hearing
aids by following instructions that ...
Least-squares (LS) deconvolution of a series of overlapping cortical auditory evoked potentials: a simulation and experimental study
(Journal of Neural Engineering, 2014-08)
Objective: To evaluate the viability of disentangling a series of overlapping “cortical auditory evoked potentials” (CAEPs) elicited by different stimuli using least-squares (LS) deconvolution, and to assess the adaptation ...
NAL-NL2 empirical adjustments
(Trends Amplification, 2012)
NAL-NL1, the first procedure from the National Acoustic Laboratories (NAL) for prescribing non-linear gain, was a purely theoretically-derived formula aimed at maximizing speech intelligibility for any input level of speech ...
Identification of Conductive Hearing Loss Using Air Conduction Tests Alone: Reliability and Validity of an Automatic Test Battery
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins., 2014-01)
The primary objective of this study was to determine whether
a combination of automatically administered pure-tone audiometry and
a tone-in-noise detection task, both delivered via an air conduction (AC)
pathway, could ...
The NOISE (Non-Occupational Incidents Situations and Events) Database: A new research tool
(2013)
This paper describes the development of the NOISE (Non-Occupational Incidents Situations and Events) Database. The NOISE database currently contains 536 separate leisure activities and events, including noise level ...
Impact of the presence of auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder (ANSD) on outcomes of children at three years of age
(2013)
Objective—To determine the influence of the presence of auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder
(ANSD) on speech, language, and psycho-social development of children at three years of age.
Deconvolution of overlapping cortical auditory evoked potentials recorded using short stimulus onset-asynchrony ranges
(Clinical Neurosphysiology, 2014)
The first aim of this study is to validate the theoretical framework of Least-Squares (LS) deconvolution on experimental data. The second is to investigate the waveform morphology of the cortical auditory evoked potential ...
Etiology and Audiological Outcomes at 3 Years for 364 Children in Australia
(U.S. National Institute of Health PubMed Central, 2013-03-28)
Hearing loss is an etiologically heterogeneous trait with differences in the age of onset, severity and site of lesion. It is caused by a combination of genetic and/or environmental factors. A longitudinal study to examine ...
Estimating young Australian adults’ risk of hearing damage from selected leisure activities
(Ear & Hearing, 2012)
Several previous studies have attempted to estimate the risk of noise-induced 2 hearing loss from loud leisure noise. Some of these studies may have over-estimated the 3 risk because they used noise estimates taken from ...
Language and speech perception of young children with bimodal fitting or bilateral cochlear implants
(Cochlear Implants International, 2014-05-01)
This paper compares language development and speech perception of children with bimodal fitting ( a cochlear implant in one ear and a hearing aid in the opposite ear) or bilateral cochlear implantation
