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

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...

Dementia and hearing-aid use: a two-way street (2022)
Journal Article

Objectives Hearing-aid use may reduce risk of dementia, but cognitive impairment makes use more challenging. An observed association between reduced hearing-aid use and incident dementia could reflect either or both of these causal paths. The object...

The large numbers of minicolumns in the primary visual cortex of humans, chimpanzees and gorillas are related to high visual acuity (2022)
Journal Article

Minicolumns are thought to be a fundamental neural unit in the neocortex and their replication may have formed the basis of the rapid cortical expansion that occurred during primate evolution. We sought evidence of minicolumns in the primary visual c...

A measure of long-term hearing-aid use persistence based on battery re-ordering data (2021)
Journal Article

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...

Electronic Health Records As a Platform for Audiological Research: Data Validity, Patient Characteristics, and Hearing-Aid Use Persistence Among 731,213 U.S. Veterans (2020)
Journal Article

Objectives: This article presents a summary of audiological, general health, and hearing aid (HA) outcome data in a large sample of U.S. Veterans receiving HAs. The current article also provides the foundation for a series of papers that will exp...

Communication calls produced by electrical stimulation of four structures in the guinea pig brain (2018)
Journal Article

One of the main central processes affecting the cortical representation of conspecific vocalizations is the collateral output from the extended motor system for call generation. Before starting to study this interaction we sought to compare the chara... Read More about Communication calls produced by electrical stimulation of four structures in the guinea pig brain.

Lifetime leisure music exposure associated with increased frequency of tinnitus (2016)
Journal Article

Tinnitus has been linked to noise exposure, a common form of which is listening to music as a leisure activity. The relationship between tinnitus and type and duration of music exposure is not well understood. We conducted an internet-based populatio... Read More about Lifetime leisure music exposure associated with increased frequency of tinnitus.

Heritability of non-speech auditory processing skills (2016)
Journal Article

Recent insight into the genetic bases for autism spectrum disorder, dyslexia, stuttering, and language disorders suggest that neurogenetic approaches may also reveal at least one etiology of auditory processing disorder (APD). A person with an APD ty... Read More about Heritability of non-speech auditory processing skills.

Visuospatial working memory mediates inhibitory and facilitatory guidance in preview search (2016)
Journal Article

Visual search is faster and more accurate when a subset of distractors is presented before the display containing the target. This “preview benefit” has been attributed to separate inhibitory and facilitatory guidance mechanisms during search. In the...

Source space estimation of oscillatory power and brain connectivity in tinnitus (2015)
Journal Article

© 2015 Zobay et al. Tinnitus is the perception of an internally generated sound that is postulated to emerge as a result of structural and functional changes in the brain. However, the precise pathophysiology of tinnitus remains unknown. Llinas' thal... Read More about Source space estimation of oscillatory power and brain connectivity in tinnitus.

Neuromagnetic indicators of tinnitus and tinnitus masking in patients with and without hearing loss (2012)
Journal Article

Tinnitus is an auditory phenomenon characterised by the perception of a sound in the absence of an external auditory stimulus. Chronic subjective tinnitus is almost certainly maintained via central mechanisms, and this is consistent with observed mea...
