Cognitive Spare Capacity: Evaluation data and its association with comprehension of dynamic conversations
(Frontiers in Psychology, 2015)
It is well established that communication involves the working memory system, which becomes increasingly engaged in understanding speech as the input signal degrades. The more resources allocated to recovering a degraded ...
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 ...
Cortical auditory evoked potentials (CAEPs) reveal changes in audibility with nonlinear frequency compression in hearing aids for children: clinical implications
(Seminars in Hearing, Oct 2015)
Children with hearing loss are detected soon after birth via newborn hearing screening. Procedures for early hearing assessment and hearing aid fitting are well-established, but methods for evaluating the effectiveness of ...
Client-Based Adjustments of Hearing Aid Gain: The Effect of Different Control Configurations
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins •, 2008)
Objectives: Facilitating the fine-tuning of advanced
hearing aids requires information about the acoustic
environment. The concept of a “trainable” hearing
aid may provide a more direct approach to
hearing aid fine-tuning ...
An examination of speech reception thresholds measured in a simulated reverberant cafeteria environment
(International Journal of Audiology, 2014)
There is increasing demand in the hearing research community for the creation of laboratory environments that better simulate challenging real-world listeneing envrionments.
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: ...
Investigating the interaction between dichotic deficits and cognitive abilities using the Dichotic Digits difference Test (DDdT)
(2015-08)
Background: The Dichotic Digits difference Test (DDdT) was developed in order to
investigate the relationship between dichotic processing and cognitive abilities and, through
the use of differential test scores, to provide ...
Outcomes of 3-Year-Old Children With Hearing Loss and Different Types of Additional Disabilities
(2013)
This research investigated the speech, language, and functional
auditory outcomes of 119 3-year-old children with hearing loss
and additional disabilities. Outcomes were evaluated using
direct assessment and caregiver ...
Intelligibility of Speech Produced by Children with hearing loss
(Communication Disorders, Deaf Studies & Hearing Aids, 2015)
This study aimed to 1) investigate the influence of nonlinear frequency
compression (NLFC) in hearing aids on intelligibility of speech produced by children
with hearing loss; and 2) examine whether clinicians’ or parents’ ...
