Used to be a dime, now it’s a dollar: R-SPiN keyword predictability revisited 40 years on (2024)
Journal Article
Whitley, A., Naylor, G., & Hadley, L. V. (2024). Used to be a dime, now it’s a dollar: R-SPiN keyword predictability revisited 40 years on. Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 67(4), 1229-1242. https://doi.org/10.1044/2024_JSLHR-23-00615

Purpose: Almost 40 years after its development, in this article, we reexamine the relevance and validity of the ubiquitously used Revised Speech Perception in Noise (R-SPiN) sentence corpus. The R-SPiN corpus includes “high-context” and “low-conte... Read More about Used to be a dime, now it’s a dollar: R-SPiN keyword predictability revisited 40 years on.

Previous Mental Load and Incentives Influence Anticipatory Arousal as Indexed by the Baseline Pupil Diameter in a Speech-in-Noise Task (2023)
Journal Article
Alfandari, D., Richter, M., Wendt, D., Fiedler, L., & Naylor, G. (2023). Previous Mental Load and Incentives Influence Anticipatory Arousal as Indexed by the Baseline Pupil Diameter in a Speech-in-Noise Task. Trends in Hearing, 27, Article 23312165231196520. https://doi.org/10.1177/23312165231196520

Listening effort and fatigue are common experiences when conversing in noisy environments. Much research has investigated listening effort in relation to listening demand using the speech-in-noise paradigm. Recent conceptualizations of listening effo...

Fitting a Hearing Aid on the Better Ear, Worse Ear, or Both: Associations of Hearing-aid Fitting Laterality with Outcomes in a Large Sample of US Veterans (2023)
Journal Article
Zobay, O., Naylor, G., Saunders, G. H., & Dillard, L. K. (2023). Fitting a Hearing Aid on the Better Ear, Worse Ear, or Both: Associations of Hearing-aid Fitting Laterality with Outcomes in a Large Sample of US Veterans. Trends in Hearing, 27, https://doi.org/10.1177/23312165231195987

Longitudinal electronic health records from a large sample of new hearing-aid (HA) recipients in the US Veterans Affairs healthcare system were used to evaluate associations of fitting laterality with long-term HA use persistence as measured by batte...

Listening efficiency in adult cochlear-implant users compared with normally-hearing controls at ecologically relevant signal-to-noise ratios (2023)
Journal Article
Perea Pérez, F., Hartley, D. E. H., Kitterick, P. T., Zekveld, A. A., Naylor, G., & Wiggins, I. M. (2023). Listening efficiency in adult cochlear-implant users compared with normally-hearing controls at ecologically relevant signal-to-noise ratios. Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 17, Article 1214485. https://doi.org/10.3389/fnhum.2023.1214485

Introduction: Due to having to work with an impoverished auditory signal, cochlear-implant (CI) users may experience reduced speech intelligibility and/or increased listening effort in real-world listening situations, compared to their normally-heari...

Exploring listening-related fatigue in children with and without hearing loss using self-report and parent-proxy measures (2023)
Journal Article
Adams, B., Thornton, S. K., Naylor, G., Spriggs, R. V., Wiggins, I. M., & Kitterick, P. T. (2023). Exploring listening-related fatigue in children with and without hearing loss using self-report and parent-proxy measures. Frontiers in Pediatrics, 11, Article 1127578. https://doi.org/10.3389/fped.2023.1127578

Children with hearing loss appear to experience greater fatigue than children with normal hearing (CNH). Listening-related fatigue is often associated with an increase in effortful listening or difficulty in listening situations. This has been observ...
