Throughout our adult lives there is a decline in peripheral hearing, auditory processing and
elements of cognition that support listening ability. Audiometry provides no information about …

Sound processing in the human auditory system is complex and highly non-linear, whereas
hearing aids (HAs) still rely on simplified descriptions of auditory processing or hearing loss …

This literature review investigates the application of wide dynamic range compression
(WDRC) to enhance hearing protection and communication among workers in a noisy …

The redundancy hypothesis proposes that older listeners need a larger array of acoustic
cues than younger listeners for effective speech perception. This research investigated this …

It is well known that ageing and noise exposure are important causes of sensorineural
hearing loss, and can result in damage of the outer hair cells or other structures of the inner …

Binaural speech intelligibility in rooms is a complex process that is affected by many factors
including room acoustics, hearing loss, and hearing aid (HA) signal processing. Intelligibility …

Objectives: Previous research has shown that speech recognition with different wide
dynamic range compression (WDRC) time-constants (fast-acting or Fast and slow-acting or …

Objectives: Hearing aid processing in realistic listening environments is difficult to study
effectively. Often the environment is unpredictable or unknown, such as in wearable aid …

The original Spectral Correlation Index (SCIo) is a measure of amplitude envelope distortion
that has been used in several studies to predict behavioral results. Because the original …

Abstract" Normal" ageing is defined as that without pathological cognitive impairment, such
as dementia or mild cognitive impairment. It is associated with a decline in auditory …
