OBJECTIVES:

Although directional microphones on a hearing aid provide a signal-to-noise ratio benefit in a noisy background, the amount of benefit is dependent on how close the signal of interest is to the front of the user. It is assumed that whe... Read More about The effect of hearing aid microphone mode on performance in an auditory orienting task.

The perception of apparent auditory source width in hearing-impaired adults (2014)
Journal Article
Whitmer, W. M., Seeber, B. U., & Akeroyd, M. A. (2014). The perception of apparent auditory source width in hearing-impaired adults. Nature Energy, 135(6), https://doi.org/10.1121/1.4875575

In a previous study [Whitmer, Seeber and Akeroyd, J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 132, 369-379 (2012)], it was demonstrated that older hearing-impaired (HI) listeners produced visual sketches of headphone-presented noises that were insensitive to changes in inte...

Proposed norms for the Glasgow hearing-aid benefit profile (Ghabp) questionnaire (2014)
Journal Article
Whitmer, W. M., Howell, P., & Akeroyd, M. A. (2014). Proposed norms for the Glasgow hearing-aid benefit profile (Ghabp) questionnaire. International Journal of Audiology, 53(5), 345-351. https://doi.org/10.3109/14992027.2013.876110

Objective: To form a normative set of responses to the GHABP questionnaire from a large regional dataset. Design: Participants were asked to rate their hearing disability, handicap, hearing-aid (HA) use, HA benefit, HA satisfaction, and residual (aid...
