Extended high frequency hearing and speech perception implications in adults and children
Extended high frequencies (EHF), above 8 kHz, represent a region of the human hearing
spectrum that is generally ignored by clinicians and researchers alike. This article is a …

The perceptual significance of high-frequency energy in the human voice
While human vocalizations generate acoustical energy at frequencies up to (and beyond) 20
kHz, the energy at frequencies above about 5 kHz has traditionally been neglected in …

Age-group differences in speech identification despite matched audiometrically normal hearing: contributions from auditory temporal processing and cognition
Hearing loss with increasing age adversely affects the ability to understand speech, an effect
that results partly from reduced audibility. The aims of this study were to establish whether …

Ecological cocktail party listening reveals the utility of extended high-frequency hearing
A fundamental principle of neuroscience is that each species' and individual's sensory
systems are tailored to meet the demands placed upon them by their environments and …

Development of a new method for deriving initial fittings for hearing aids with multi-channel compression: CAMEQ2-HF
Moore et al (1999b) described a procedure, CAMEQ, for the initial fitting of multi-channel
compression hearing aids. The procedure was derived using a model of loudness …

The importance for speech intelligibility of random fluctuations in “steady” background noise
MA Stone, C Füllgrabe, RC Mackinnon… - The Journal of the …, 2011 - pubs.aip.org
Spectrally shaped steady noise is commonly used as a masker of speech. The effects of
inherent random fluctuations in amplitude of such a noise are typically ignored. Here, the …
