Poorer speech reception threshold in noise is associated with lower brain volume in auditory and cognitive processing regions
(Journal of Speech Language and Hearing Research, 2018) -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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. ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Hearing threshold shifts among 11 − 35 year olds with early hearing impairment.
(Ear & Hearing, 2017)Data obtained from the clinical records of selected 11-to 35-year-olds with preadult onset hearing impairment were analyzed with two primary aims: (1) to determine the incidence of hearing threshold level (HTL) shift in ... -
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 ... -
Hearing aids
(Hodder Arnold, 2008)Hearing aids partially overcome the deficits associated with a hearing loss. For a sensorineural hearing loss, there are several deficits to be overcome. Some sounds are inaudible. Other sounds can be detected because part ... -
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 ... -
Assessing self-management of hearing impairment in older adults
(2017)To evaluate the capacity of a self-management assessment tool to identify unmet hearing health care (HHC) needs; to determine whether such an assessment yields novel and clinically useful information. Design: Hearing loss ... -
Caring for musicians’ ears: Insights from audiologists and manufacturers reveal need for evidence-based guidelines.
(2017)Objective: This study investigated clinical care delivered to musicians in Australia by audiologists and manufacturers of musicians’hearing protectors. Design: Audiologists with experience treating musicians were invited ... -
Learning from the longitudinal outcomes of children with hearing impairment(LOCHI) study: summary of 5-year findings and implications
(2017)This article summarises findings of the Longitudinal Outcomes of Children with Hearing Impairment (LOCHI) study, and discusses implications of the findings for research and clinical practice. Design: A population-based ... -
Spoken language and everyday functioning in 5-year-old children using hearing aids or cochlear implants
(2017)This study investigated the factors influencing 5-year language, speech, and everyday functioning of children with congenital hearing loss. Design: Standardised tests including PLS-4, PPVT-4 and DEAP were directly ... -
Advancing tinnitus awareness through animation
(The Hearing Journal, 2017) -
The effects of noise exposure and musical training on suprathreshold auditory processing
(Hearing Research, 2017-08)Recent animal research has shown that exposure to single episodes of intense noise causes cochlear synaptopathy without affecting hearing thresholds. It has been suggested that the same may occur in humans. If so, it is ...
