Delving into ‘hidden hearing loss’: Results from a large-scale behavioural investigation
(2016)Some adults report problems understanding speech in background noise yet their audiograms are clinically normal. Animal studies suggest this may result from noise-induced damage to synaptic connections between auditory ... -
Development and evaluation of a test for the assessment of syllabic parsing ability in children
(2016)The Parsing Syllable Envelopes test (ParSE) was developed to investigate whether some children have a deficit in their ability to detect syllable boundaries. -
Do new hearing aid users prefer less low- frequency, high-frequency, or overall gain than experienced users?
(2006)There seems to be a widespread belief among clinicians that new hearing aid users prefer less gain than experienced hearing aid users, and therefore that new users will acclimatize to more gain over time. This belief is ... -
Does musical training protect noise-exposed musicians from the consequences of ‘hidden hearing loss’?
(2016)"Hidden hearing loss": noise-induced cochlear synaptopathy involving the selective loss of high-threshold auditory nerve fibres without affecting auditory thresholds, but resulting in perceptual deficits such as difficulty ... -
A dual-task paradigm sensitive to listening effort in a realistic scenario
(43 rd ARO Annual Midwinter Meeting, January 25 ARO Annual Midwinter Meeting, January 25 ARO Annual Midwinter Meeting,, 2020) -
The effects of adding realism to a conventional speech-in-noise test
(2014)The speech reception threshold (SRT) is routinely used in research and in the clinic to assess people’s ability to understand speech in noise. The overall goal of this work was to determine whether introducing realistic ... -
Eliciting natural conversational Lombard speech in realistic acoustic environments
(2016)▶ Speech intelligibility tests, which are commonly used in the audiology clinic and in research, do not reflect what people experience outside the clinic. ▶ Speech intelligibility tests may be poor predictors of communication ... -
Fitting WDRC Devices: Which Rationale and How Many Channels?
(2000)Wide Dynamic Range Compression (WDRC) hearing aids are believed to be the best remedy for recruitment, which is experienced by most hearing impaired people. There are at least two theories about how WDRC devices should ...
