Is the future of hearing aids in a flatpack? Issues of clinical support for self-fitting hearing aids
(2016)Self-fitting hearing aids (SFHAs) are gaining ground in the online marketplace, where they are often marketed as a low-cost alternative to traditional hearing health care (HHC). A recent evaluation of a commercially available ... -
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. -
Bringing HEARsmart™ to music venues in Victoria
(2016)Previous research suggests that patrons of nightclubs and live music venues experience tinnitus and other symptoms more than non-patrons, and that regular patrons would prefer noise levels to be lower than the levels ... -
Two case studies using the Dichotic Digits difference Test (DDdT) to disentangle true dichotic deficits from cognitive disorders
(2016)•Dichotic tests are the most commonly used test in CAPD batteries. •Fails on dichotic tests are correlated with real-life listening difficulties (Tomlin et al., 2015). BUT… •Dichotic test results are also correlated ... -
Self-fitting hearing aids: issues of candidacy and support.
(2016)Overarching goal: To map out a service delivery model that will support self-fitting hearing aid users Candidacy: What factor(s) predict success with setting up a self-fitting hearing aid? Support: To what extent do ... -
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 ... -

(2016)Special issue of Seminars in Hearing : The use of cortical auditory evoked potentials in diagnosis and treatment of hearing disorders" -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Cognitive and auditory factors underlying the ability to understand speech in noise: clinical implications for diagnosis and rehabilitation
(2017)A proportion of listeners report problems understanding speech in background noise yet their audiogram is clinically normal. A growing body of research in the cognitive hearing science field suggests that both hearing and ...
