Objective: Provide recommendations to audiologists for the management of children with unilateral hearing loss (UHL) and for needed research that can lend further insight on important unanswered questions. Design: An international panel of experts... Read More about Consensus Practice Parameter: Audiological Assessment and Management of Unilateral Hearing Loss in Children.

Evaluating time-reversed speech and signal-correlated noise as auditory baselines for isolating speech-specific processing using fNIRS (2019)
Journal Article
Mushtaq, F., Wiggins, I. M., Kitterick, P. T., Anderson, C. A., & Hartley, D. E. H. (2019). Evaluating time-reversed speech and signal-correlated noise as auditory baselines for isolating speech-specific processing using fNIRS. PLoS ONE, 14(7), Article e0219927. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0219927

Evidence using well-established imaging techniques, such as functional magnetic resonance imaging and electrocorticography, suggest that speech-specific cortical responses can be functionally localised by contrasting speech responses with an auditory...

Preoperative brain imaging using functional near-infrared spectroscopy helps predict cochlear implant outcome in deaf adults (2019)
Journal Article
Anderson, C. A., Wiggins, I. M., Kitterick, P. T., & Hartley, D. E. (2019). Preoperative brain imaging using functional near-infrared spectroscopy helps predict cochlear implant outcome in deaf adults. Journal of the Association for Research in Otolaryngology, 20(5), 511–528. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10162-019-00729-z

Currently it is not possible to accurately predict how well a deaf individual will be able to understand speech when hearing is (re)introduced via a cochlear implant. Differences in brain organisation following deafness are thought to contribute to v...

Determining the sample size for future trials of hearing instruments for unilaterally deaf adults: an application of network meta-analysis (2019)
Journal Article
Gaunt, A. C., & Kitterick, P. T. (2019). Determining the sample size for future trials of hearing instruments for unilaterally deaf adults: an application of network meta-analysis. Otology and Neurotology, 40(4), e342–e348. https://doi.org/10.1097/MAO.0000000000002186

Objective: Previous trials have compared the efficacy of hearing instruments to no intervention in adults with single- sided deafness (SSD) or the relative efficacy of different instruments. Network meta-analysis (NMA) was used to refine estimates of...

How do we know that our patients have benefitted from our ENT/Audiological interventions?: presented at the Annual Meeting of ADANO 2016 in Berlin (2019)
Journal Article
Hall, D. A., Kitterick, P. T., Heffernan, E., Fackrell, K., Lucas, L., & Ferguson, M. (2019). How do we know that our patients have benefitted from our ENT/Audiological interventions?: presented at the Annual Meeting of ADANO 2016 in Berlin. Otology and Neurotology, 40(4), e474-e481. https://doi.org/10.1097/MAO.0000000000001937

This short review article gives an introduction to some of the fundamental concepts and challenges facing measurement in hearing healthcare practice and research. The impact of hearing loss almost always extends beyond the sensory impairment itself,...

The Cost-Effectiveness of Bimodal Stimulation Compared to Unilateral and Bilateral Cochlear Implant Use in Adults with Bilateral Severe to Profound Deafness (2019)
Journal Article
Theriou, C., Fielden, C. A., & Kitterick, P. T. (2019). The Cost-Effectiveness of Bimodal Stimulation Compared to Unilateral and Bilateral Cochlear Implant Use in Adults with Bilateral Severe to Profound Deafness. Ear and Hearing, 40(6), 1425–1436. https://doi.org/10.1097/AUD.0000000000000727

Objectives: An increasing number of severe-profoundly deaf adult unilateral cochlear implant (CI) users receive bimodal stimulation; that is, they use a conventional acoustic hearing aid (HA) in their non-implanted ear. The combination of electric an...

Visual Speech Benefit in Clear and Degraded Speech Depends on the Auditory Intelligibility of the Talker and the Number of Background Talkers (2019)
Journal Article
Blackburn, C. L., Kitterick, P. T., Jones, G., Sumner, C. J., & Stacey, P. C. (2019). Visual Speech Benefit in Clear and Degraded Speech Depends on the Auditory Intelligibility of the Talker and the Number of Background Talkers. Trends in Hearing, 23, 1-14. https://doi.org/10.1177/2331216519837866

Perceiving speech in background noise presents a significant challenge to listeners. Intelligibility can be improved by seeing the face of a talker. This is of particular value to hearing impaired people and users of cochlear implants. It is well kno...

Effects of tinnitus on cochlear implant programming (2019)
Journal Article
Pierzycki, R. H., Corner, C., Fielden, C. A., & Kitterick, P. T. (2019). Effects of tinnitus on cochlear implant programming. Trends in Hearing, 23, https://doi.org/10.1177/2331216519836624

Clinical observations suggest that tinnitus may interfere with programming cochlear implants (CIs), the process of optimizing the transmission of acoustic information to support speech perception with a CI. Despite tinnitus being highly prevalent amo... Read More about Effects of tinnitus on cochlear implant programming.
