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 Scoping Review of Studies Comparing Outcomes for Children With Severe Hearing Loss Using Hearing Aids to Children With Cochlear Implants. Ear and Hearing, 43(2), 290-304. https://doi.org/10.1097/aud.0000000000001104

Objectives: Clinical practice regarding children’s candidature for cochlear implantation varies internationally, albeit with a recent global trend toward implanting children with more residual hearing than in the past. The provision of either hearing... Read More about A Scoping Review of Studies Comparing Outcomes for Children With Severe Hearing Loss Using Hearing Aids to Children With Cochlear Implants.

Investigating tinnitus subgroups based on hearing-related difficulties (2021)
Journal Article
Beukes, E. W., Baguley, D. M., Manchaiah, V., Andersson, G., Allen, P. M., Kaldo, V., Jacquemin, L., Lourenco, M. P. C. G., Onozuka, J., Stockdale, D., & Maidment, D. W. (2021). Investigating tinnitus subgroups based on hearing-related difficulties. International Journal of Clinical Practice, 75(10), Article e14684. https://doi.org/10.1111/ijcp.14684

Purpose
Meaningfully grouping individuals with tinnitus who share a common characteristics (ie, subgrouping, phenotyping) may help tailor interventions to certain tinnitus subgroups and hence reduce outcome variability. The purpose of this study was... Read More about Investigating tinnitus subgroups based on hearing-related difficulties.

Importance
The prevalence of hyperacusis and its relationship with mental and general health is unknown in a nonclinical sample. Therefore, we aimed to determine the prevalence of hyperacusis and its relation with hearing, general and mental health...
