The audiogram predicts< 30% of the variance in speech-reception thresholds (SRTs) for
hearing-impaired (HI) listeners fitted with individualized frequency-dependent gain. The …

A significant proportion of speech communication occurs when speakers and listeners are
within face-to-face proximity of one other. In noisy and reverberant environments with …

Poor speech understanding in noise by hearing-impaired (HI) listeners is only partly
explained by elevated audiometric thresholds. Suprathreshold-processing impairments such …

Purpose Several laboratory studies have demonstrated that working memory may influence
response to compression speed in controlled (ie, laboratory) comparisons of compression …

Many studies have documented the benefits to speech understanding when cochlear
implant (CI) patients can access low-frequency acoustic information from the ear opposite …

In the real world, spoken communication occurs in complex environments that involve
audiovisual speech cues, spatially separated sound sources, reverberant listening spaces …

Purpose The present study was designed to evaluate use of spectral and temporal cues
under conditions in which both types of cues were available. Method Participants included …

Background. The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of vestibular schwannoma
microsurgery via the retrosigmoid‐transmeatal approach with special reference to the …

Objectives: To determine whether non-linear frequency compression (NLFC) is effective for
hearing-impaired adults in a clinical setting. To determine whether benefit from NLFC is …

Sensorineural hearing loss is the most common type of hearing impairment worldwide. It
arises as a consequence of damage to the cochlea or auditory nerve, and several structures …
