User-Operated Audiometry Project (UAud) – Introducing an Automated User-Operated System for Audiometric Testing Into Everyday Clinic Practice (2021)
Journal Article
Sidiras, C., Sanchez-Lopez, R., Pedersen, E. R., Sørensen, C. B., Nielsen, J., & Schmidt, J. H. (2021). User-Operated Audiometry Project (UAud) – Introducing an Automated User-Operated System for Audiometric Testing Into Everyday Clinic Practice. Frontiers in Digital Health, 3, Article 724748. https://doi.org/10.3389/fdgth.2021.724748

Hearing loss is the third leading cause of years lived with disability. It is estimated that 430 million people worldwide are affected, and the number of cases is expected to increase in the future. There is therefore increased pressure on hearing he...

Auditory Tests for Characterizing Hearing Deficits in Listeners With Various Hearing Abilities: The BEAR Test Battery (2021)
Journal Article
Sanchez-Lopez, R., Nielsen, S. G., El-Haj-Ali, M., Bianchi, F., Fereczkowski, M., Cañete, O. M., …Santurette, S. (2021). Auditory Tests for Characterizing Hearing Deficits in Listeners With Various Hearing Abilities: The BEAR Test Battery. Frontiers in Neuroscience, 15, Article 724007. https://doi.org/10.3389/fnins.2021.724007

The Better hEAring Rehabilitation (BEAR) project aims to provide a new clinical profiling tool—a test battery—for hearing loss characterization. Although the loss of sensitivity can be efficiently measured using pure-tone audiometry, the assessment o...

Audiometric profiles and patterns of benefit: a data-driven analysis of subjective hearing difficulties and handicaps (2021)
Journal Article
Sanchez-Lopez, R., Dau, T., & Whitmer, W. M. (2022). Audiometric profiles and patterns of benefit: a data-driven analysis of subjective hearing difficulties and handicaps. International Journal of Audiology, 61(4), 301-310. https://doi.org/10.1080/14992027.2021.1905890

Objective: Hearing rehabilitation attempts to compensate for auditory dysfunction, reduce hearing difficulties and minimize participation restrictions that can lead to social isolation. However, there is no systematic approach to assess the quality o...

Investigating the Effects of Four Auditory Profiles on Speech Recognition, Overall Quality, and Noise Annoyance With Simulated Hearing-Aid Processing Strategies (2020)
Journal Article
Wu, M., Sanchez-Lopez, R., El-Haj-Ali, M., Nielsen, S. G., Fereczkowski, M., Dau, T., …Neher, T. (2020). Investigating the Effects of Four Auditory Profiles on Speech Recognition, Overall Quality, and Noise Annoyance With Simulated Hearing-Aid Processing Strategies. Trends in Hearing, 24, https://doi.org/10.1177/2331216520960861

Effective hearing aid (HA) rehabilitation requires personalization of the HA fitting parameters, but in current clinical practice only the gain prescription is typically individualized. To optimize the fitting process, advanced HA settings such as no...

Robust Data-Driven Auditory Profiling Towards Precision Audiology (2020)
Journal Article
Sanchez-Lopez, R., Fereczkowski, M., Neher, T., Santurette, S., & Dau, T. (2020). Robust Data-Driven Auditory Profiling Towards Precision Audiology. Trends in Hearing, 24, https://doi.org/10.1177/2331216520973539

The sources and consequences of a sensorineural hearing loss are diverse. While several approaches have aimed at disentangling the physiological and perceptual consequences of different etiologies, hearing deficit characterization and rehabilitation...

Data-Driven Approach for Auditory Profiling and Characterization of Individual Hearing Loss (2018)
Journal Article
Sanchez Lopez, R., Bianchi, F., Fereczkowski, M., Santurette, S., & Dau, T. (2018). Data-Driven Approach for Auditory Profiling and Characterization of Individual Hearing Loss. Trends in Hearing, 22, https://doi.org/10.1177/2331216518807400

Pure-tone audiometry still represents the main measure to characterize individual hearing loss and the basis for hearing-aid fitting. However, the perceptual consequences of hearing loss are typically associated not only with a loss of sensitivity bu...
