The perceptual limitations of troubleshooting hearing-aids based on patients’ descriptions (2020)
Journal Article

Objectives: Hearing-aid frequency-gain responses are routinely adjusted by clinicians to patient preferences and descriptions. This study measured the minimum gain adjustments required to elicit preferences, and the assignment of descriptors to gain...

Exploring the Factor Structure of the Glasgow Children’s Benefit Inventory: New Recommendations for Reporting Results (2020)
Journal Article

Objective Patient-reported outcomes can be useful for reporting benefit from non-life-saving interventions, but often they report a single overall score, which means that much information on the specific areas of benefit is lost. Our aim was to per... Read More about Exploring the Factor Structure of the Glasgow Children’s Benefit Inventory: New Recommendations for Reporting Results.

Conversation in small groups: Speaking and listening strategies depend on the complexities of the environment and group (2020)
Journal Article

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...

An Exploratory Study of EEG Alpha Oscillation and Pupil Dilation in Hearing-Aid Users During Effortful listening to Continuous Speech (2020)
Journal Article

Individuals with hearing loss allocate cognitive resources to comprehend noisy speech in everyday life scenarios. Such a scenario could be when they are exposed to ongoing speech and need to sustain their attention for a rather long period of time, w...
