Journal Article
Zobay, O., Naylor, G., Saunders, G. H., & Dillard, L. K. (2023). Fitting a Hearing Aid on the Better Ear, Worse Ear, or Both: Associations of Hearing-aid Fitting Laterality with Outcomes in a Large Sample of US Veterans. Trends in Hearing, 27, https://doi.org/10.1177/23312165231195987

Longitudinal electronic health records from a large sample of new hearing-aid (HA) recipients in the US Veterans Affairs healthcare system were used to evaluate associations of fitting laterality with long-term HA use persistence as measured by batte...

Dementia and hearing-aid use: a two-way street (2022)
Journal Article
Naylor, G., Dillard, L., Orrell, M., Stephan, B. C. M., Zobay, O., & Saunders, G. H. (2022). Dementia and hearing-aid use: a two-way street. Age and Ageing, 51(12), Article afac266. https://doi.org/10.1093/ageing/afac266

Objectives
Hearing-aid use may reduce risk of dementia, but cognitive impairment makes use more challenging. An observed association between reduced hearing-aid use and incident dementia could reflect either or both of these causal paths. The object...

A measure of long-term hearing-aid use persistence based on battery re-ordering data (2021)
Journal Article
Zobay, O., Dillard, L. K., Naylor, G., & Saunders, G. H. (2021). A measure of long-term hearing-aid use persistence based on battery re-ordering data. Ear and Hearing, 42(5), 1441-1444. https://doi.org/10.1097/AUD.0000000000001032

Objective: We describe the construction of a hearing-aid long-term use persistence measure based on battery reorder data. The measure is derived from the notion that hearing-aid users keep using their devices for some time after placing a battery...

Ear and Hearing, 42(4), 927-940. https://doi.org/10.1097/AUD.0000000000000980

Objectives:

This article presents a summary of audiological, general health, and hearing aid (HA) outcome data in a large sample of U.S. Veterans receiving HAs. The current article also provides the foundation for a series of papers that will exp...

Communication calls produced by electrical stimulation of four structures in the guinea pig brain (2018)
Journal Article
Green, D. B., Shackleton, T. M., Grimsley, J. M., Zobay, O., Wallace, M. N., & Palmer, A. R. (2018). Communication calls produced by electrical stimulation of four structures in the guinea pig brain. PLoS ONE, 13(3), Article e0194091. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0194091

One of the main central processes affecting the cortical representation of conspecific vocalizations is the collateral output from the extended motor system for call generation. Before starting to study this interaction we sought to compare the chara... Read More about Communication calls produced by electrical stimulation of four structures in the guinea pig brain.

Lifetime leisure music exposure associated with increased frequency of tinnitus (2016)
Journal Article
Moore, D. R., Zobay, O., Mackinnon, R. C., Whitmer, W. M., & Akeroyd, M. A. (2017). Lifetime leisure music exposure associated with increased frequency of tinnitus. Hearing Research, 347, 18-27. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.heares.2016.10.030

Tinnitus has been linked to noise exposure, a common form of which is listening to music as a leisure activity. The relationship between tinnitus and type and duration of music exposure is not well understood. We conducted an internet-based populatio...

Heritability of non-speech auditory processing skills (2016)
Journal Article
Brewer, C. C., Zalewski, C. K., King, K. A., Zobay, O., Riley, A., Ferguson, M. A., …Moore, D. R. (2016). Heritability of non-speech auditory processing skills. European Journal of Human Genetics, 24(8), https://doi.org/10.1038/ejhg.2015.277

Recent insight into the genetic bases for autism spectrum disorder, dyslexia, stuttering, and language disorders suggest that neurogenetic approaches may also reveal at least one etiology of auditory processing disorder (APD). A person with an APD ty... Read More about Heritability of non-speech auditory processing skills.

Visuospatial working memory mediates inhibitory and facilitatory guidance in preview search (2016)
Journal Article
Barrett, D. J., Shimozaki, S. S., Jensen, S., & Zobay, O. (in press). Visuospatial working memory mediates inhibitory and facilitatory guidance in preview search. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 42(10), https://doi.org/10.1037/xhp0000239

Visual search is faster and more accurate when a subset of distractors is presented before the display containing the target. This “preview benefit” has been attributed to separate inhibitory and facilitatory guidance mechanisms during search. In the...

Source space estimation of oscillatory power and brain connectivity in tinnitus (2015)
Journal Article
Palmer, A. R., Zobay, O., Hall, D. A., Sereda, M., & Adjamian, P. (2015). Source space estimation of oscillatory power and brain connectivity in tinnitus. PLoS ONE, 10(3), Article e0120123. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0120123

© 2015 Zobay et al. Tinnitus is the perception of an internally generated sound that is postulated to emerge as a result of structural and functional changes in the brain. However, the precise pathophysiology of tinnitus remains unknown. Llinas' thal... Read More about Source space estimation of oscillatory power and brain connectivity in tinnitus.
