How does auditory training work? Joined up thinking and listening (2015)
Journal Article
Ferguson, M. A., & Henshaw, H. (in press). How does auditory training work? Joined up thinking and listening. Seminars in Hearing, 36(4), https://doi.org/10.1055/s-0035-1568985

Auditory training aims to compensate for degradation in the auditory signal and is offered as an intervention to help alleviate the most common complaint in people with hearing loss, understanding speech in a background noise. Yet there remain many u... Read More about How does auditory training work? Joined up thinking and listening.

Computer and internet interventions to optimize listening and learning for people with hearing loss: accessibility, use, and adherence (2015)
Journal Article
Ferguson, M. A., & Henshaw, H. (2015). Computer and internet interventions to optimize listening and learning for people with hearing loss: accessibility, use, and adherence. American Journal of Audiology, 24, https://doi.org/10.1044/2015_AJA-14-0090

Purpose: The aim of this research forum article was to examine accessibility, use, and adherence to computerized and online interventions for people with hearing loss. Method: Four intervention studies of people with hearing loss were examined: 2 aud...

Intrinsic and extrinsic motivation is associated with computer-based auditory training uptake, engagement, and adherence for people with hearing loss (2015)
Journal Article
Henshaw, H., McCormack, A., & Ferguson, M. A. (2015). Intrinsic and extrinsic motivation is associated with computer-based auditory training uptake, engagement, and adherence for people with hearing loss. Frontiers in Psychology, 6, Article 1067. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2015.01067

Hearing aid intervention typically occurs after significant delay, or not at all, resulting in an unmet need for many people with hearing loss. Computer-based auditory training (CBAT) may provide generalized benefits to real-world listening, particul...

The relationship of speech intelligibility with hearing sensitivity, cognition, and perceived hearing difficulties varies for different speech perception tests (2015)
Journal Article
Heinrich, A., Henshaw, H., & Ferguson, M. A. (2015). The relationship of speech intelligibility with hearing sensitivity, cognition, and perceived hearing difficulties varies for different speech perception tests. Frontiers in Psychology, 6, https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2015.00782

Listeners vary in their ability to understand speech in noisy environments. Hearing sensitivity, as measured by pure-tone audiometry, can only partly explain these results, and cognition has emerged as another key concept. Although cognition relates...

Auditory training can improve working memory, attention, and communication in adverse conditions for adults with hearing loss (2015)
Journal Article
Ferguson, M. A., & Henshaw, H. (2015). Auditory training can improve working memory, attention, and communication in adverse conditions for adults with hearing loss. Frontiers in Psychology, 6, Article 556. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2015.00556

Auditory training (AT) helps compensate for degradation in the auditory signal. A series of three high-quality training studies are discussed, which include, (i) a randomized controlled trial (RCT) of phoneme discrimination in quiet that trained adul...
