The effect of stimulus duration on preferences for gain adjustments when listening to speech (2021)
Journal Article
Whitmer, W. M., Caswell-Midwinter, B., & Naylor, G. (2022). The effect of stimulus duration on preferences for gain adjustments when listening to speech. International Journal of Audiology, 61(11), 940-947. https://doi.org/10.1080/14992027.2021.1998676

Objectives: In the personalisation of hearing-aid fittings, gain is often adjusted to suit patient preferences using live speech. When using brief sentences as stimuli, the minimum gain adjustments necessary to elicit consistent preferences (“prefere...

Changes in Orientation Behavior due to Extended High-Frequency (5 to 10 kHz) Spatial Cues (2021)
Journal Article
Whitmer, W. M., McShefferty, D., Levy, S. C., Naylor, G., & Edwards, B. (2022). Changes in Orientation Behavior due to Extended High-Frequency (5 to 10 kHz) Spatial Cues. Ear and Hearing, 43(2), 545-553. https://doi.org/10.1097/AUD.0000000000001113

Objectives: Current hearing aids have a limited bandwidth, which limits the intelligibility and quality of their output, and inhibits their uptake. Recent advances in signal processing, as well as novel methods of transduction, allow for a greater...

A measure of long-term hearing-aid use persistence based on battery re-ordering data (2021)
Journal Article
Zobay, O., Dillard, L. K., Naylor, G., & Saunders, G. H. (2021). A measure of long-term hearing-aid use persistence based on battery re-ordering data. Ear and Hearing, 42(5), 1441-1444. https://doi.org/10.1097/AUD.0000000000001032

Objective: We describe the construction of a hearing-aid long-term use persistence measure based on battery reorder data. The measure is derived from the notion that hearing-aid users keep using their devices for some time after placing a battery...

Hearing Aids Reduce Daily-Life Fatigue and Increase Social Activity: A Longitudinal Study (2021)
Journal Article
Holman, J. A., Drummond, A., & Naylor, G. (2021). Hearing Aids Reduce Daily-Life Fatigue and Increase Social Activity: A Longitudinal Study. Trends in Hearing, 25, https://doi.org/10.1177/23312165211052786

People with hearing loss experience fatigue, and it is unknown whether this is alleviated by treatment with hearing aids. The objective of this study was to address this issue and to investigate the possible concomitant effect of hearing-aid fitting...

Can listening-related fatigue influence well-being? Examining associations between hearing loss, fatigue, activity levels and well-being (2021)
Journal Article
Holman, J. A., Hornsby, B. W. Y., Bess, F. H., & Naylor, G. (2021). Can listening-related fatigue influence well-being? Examining associations between hearing loss, fatigue, activity levels and well-being. International Journal of Audiology, 60(sup2), 47-59. https://doi.org/10.1080/14992027.2020.1853261

Objective Well-being is influenced by the activities we undertake. Hearing loss may reduce well-being directly through increased listening-related fatigue due to cognitive and emotional strain in challenging situations. Hearing loss and hearing devi...
