The Quest for Ecological Validity in Hearing Science: What It Is, Why It Matters, and How to Advance It (2020)
Journal Article
Keidser, G., Naylor, G., Brungart, D., Caduff, A., Campos, J., Carlile, S., …Smeds, K. (2020). The Quest for Ecological Validity in Hearing Science: What It Is, Why It Matters, and How to Advance It. Ear and Hearing, 41(Supplement 1), 5S-19S. https://doi.org/10.1097/AUD.0000000000000944

Ecological validity is a relatively new concept in hearing science. It has been cited as relevant with increasing frequency in publications over the past 20 years, but without any formal conceptual basis or clear motive. The sixth Eriksholm Workshop...

Conversation in small groups: Speaking and listening strategies depend on the complexities of the environment and group (2020)
Journal Article
Hadley, L. V., Whitmer, W. M., Brimijoin, W. O., & Naylor, G. (2021). Conversation in small groups: Speaking and listening strategies depend on the complexities of the environment and group. Psychonomic Bulletin and Review, 28(2), 632-640. https://doi.org/10.3758/s13423-020-01821-9

Many conversations in our day-to-day lives are held in noisy environments, impeding comprehension, and in groups, taxing auditory attention-switching processes. These situations are particularly challenging for older adults in cognitive and sensory d...

The Effect of Hearing Loss and Hearing Device Fitting on Fatigue in Adults: A Systematic Review (2020)
Journal Article
Holman, J. A., Drummond, A., & Naylor, G. (2021). The Effect of Hearing Loss and Hearing Device Fitting on Fatigue in Adults: A Systematic Review. Ear and Hearing, 42(1), 1-11

Objectives:
To conduct a systematic review to address two research questions: (Q1) Does hearing loss have an effect on fatigue? (Q2) Does hearing device fitting have an effect on fatigue? It was hypothesized that hearing loss would increase fatigue... Read More about The Effect of Hearing Loss and Hearing Device Fitting on Fatigue in Adults: A Systematic Review.
